[CyberTOPS] CHARLOTTE has got some great news to share.......what a week already!!!!

[Charlotte W.]

Hello Everyone.......

It has been a great couple days around here....I think the brain the heart and
the body have finally come together and decided to work together.....

Thursday night after having such a great lose......and the other half halving
a large gain.  Me being pumped and motivated him being down on
himself.......we got up the next morning and the things that happened.......No
don't go there...listen  LOL

He got out "the choice is mine" book and started looking at menu choices and
using the exchange.....he put together a breakfast for himself and cooked and
ate it.  He then sat down and worked on a menu for lunch.  mind you with money
being a little tight around here we don't have a lot of HEALTHY foods in the
house so my menus have been based on portions and protien.  so anyway we got
to talking about things and i told him to just work with me this week food
charting journaling and counting calories.....and watching portions...he
agreed.  Then he made a comment about needing to get moving....and before i
knew it was coming out of my mouth i said, "well lets get that gazelle glider
out of the closet upstairs and get it set up here in the living room and start
using it.  We can have a compititiion between us to see who gets more time in
on it for the rest of the month."  and to my surprise.....he said yes.  I
cleaned out  the spot where it was to
 go...and he went up stairs and got it and brought it down....it has been
sitting up there for years collecting dust so I washed it down and set it up
and i created a chart on graph paper tracking 5 minute spots of time on the
gazelle.....well yesterday i did 25 minutes on it....5, 10, and 10....today
already almost three here, i have already done 30 minutes, 15 and 15 minutes
both of them after eating breakfast and lunch.....it feels good....NO NO I
MEAN IT FEELS GREAT!!!!!!!!  should have done this long time ago...  I have
been telling myself for some time, well since the chair broke in the living
room and there has been an open spot that I need to get it down here.....was
always just a thought.....  So I am off to a great week...and hope this finds
all of you doing something for yourself, with yourself, by
yourself......because you love yourself.

HUGS, Me
