This week was an abnormal week. We spent some time with Doug’s family at Island Park, Idaho about 25 from West Yellowstone, Montana. Things were crazy but I managed to move my legs several times this week. Although we never actually “hiked” we did mosey around various tourist attractions that I would consider equal to or more than a walk around the block with my kids. As for the Pilates, I only did one day but let me tell you, blowing up the ball with a hand pump was pretty good exercise in and of its self.
Perhaps the holiday and vacation junk food caught up with me because today I weighed in at 190 lbs. What the crap! I just need to remind myself that it’s better to be fat and active than skinny and sedentary.
This weeks goals are:
A daily walk with or without children
Pilates 3 times/week for 30 minutes
One soccer game
One bubble bath
Exercise Program, Take Three.
P.S. Can I just say, sometimes it's a little uncomfortable being the fattest person in my family and in Doug's family. I can now understand why some overweight people become antisocial and reclusive. It takes a lot of something, I'm not sure what, to hang out with people when you feel so crappy about your physical appearance. As my good friend Jenny would say, BLAH.

Good luck Heath! Also, losing weight the right way (i.e. the way that makes it so it doesn't come back) takes a lot of time and patience, so hang in there. Also, we loved seeing you, and we're excited to send you the finished reunion video. Love you all!
A funny thing about me: I'm much more critical of myself than of other people. In a room full of obese people I'd see we have a lot in common, probably many of the same issues that lead to obesity. With that, I'm more likely to feel a kinship rather than competition with them.
But yes, most things particularly negative things, we feel about our bodies are transient and bogus.
ummmmmmmmmm
Keep up the good work, Heather! Now I'm tempted to make weekly goals like you have. Great idea!
