Hi, all!

I too can blame a terrible year for getting way out of control with eating well and movement (as in: none). The kicker is, I can eat even when great things happen, too. Bottom line: No one opens my mouth and stuffs food in but me. And Tahiti cookies and cheesecake don't make problems go away or add anything to good experiences. They're just ingredients.

Yesterday I went to the exercise room at my complex and did a mile in 25 minutes and some seconds. I did get up to a 22 minute mile, but can't sustain that for any length. 25 minutes is about it. Therefore, my first goal is to get down to an 18 minute mile, 15 if I'm really ambitious. Then I'll go on to the couch-5K program.

I too have an inexpensive gym membership that also has access to another gym offering spinning, Zumba, and kickboxing. There's just no excuse. I also realized I've been paying along my WeightWatchers online membership and not using it. That needs to change, but moving consistently is the first step.

I'm grateful for both this thread and the fat positive thread. It's OK and a good thing to want to be healthy at whatever weight that is.

Good week, everyone

It feels good to test myself, to feel that hum and feel the sweat.
