Wishing it was easier

Yes. I wish losing weight was easier. I feel really good after I exercise, but don't enjoy it while I'm doing it!

Today, while I was at work, I got the phone call from the trainer about the "Fitlinxx". I didn't bother calling her back. I figured that I would just check on it when I went after work.

I now have an appointment for 1:45 on Friday to meet with a trainer and get set up on the Fitlinxx Program. YAY! I sure hope it helps. I need structure to my workouts. Right now... I am just wondering around with no real "plan".

Today, I did 10 mins on the stationary bike. I kept it at level 4, but didn't it really didn't get my heart rate up like I would have liked it to. Then, I did 5 mins of brisk walking around the track. I would like to try jogging, but that will have to come little by little.

I either wish that I had a workout "buddy" or could afford a trainer. I am not sure how successful I will be, trying to do it on my own. Hopefully, the Fitlinxx Program will help.

I would love to do the Zumba Class that is offered at the Y, but it is only offered at either 4:30pm or 6:30pm. Neither is a good time for me. I need a class that is around 2:00pm, but there are NONE that are offered. All of them in the evenings. I would not benefit me to drive back into town, since I get off of work at 1:15pm.

I am tempted to try Weight Watchers online again. I can't really afford it, tho. Maybe I will try it on my own. I just REALLY wish that I had a "buddy" to do it with. I think it would make it easier.

This cooler weather makes me want to ride my bike!! I really don't like riding in my neighborhood, tho. Too many dogs running loose and too many hills!! I prefer riding the bike trail in town, the riverwalk downtown, or at Callaway Gardens... but, none of these places is close to where I live, unfortunately. The bike trail and the riverwalk are both VERY close to where I work and to the YMCA that I go to, tho. Too bad that I couldn't incorporate biking into my workout after work each day. I could... but, I wouldn't feel safe going by myself... AND... I would have to add a bike rack to my car. Parking at the school would be tricky with a bike attached to the back of my car, too!

I was thinking on my way home today that it sure would be nice if we lived "in town", as opposed to out in the country where we live now. The girls both go to school in town now and I am now working in town. The only two things that are out this way for us now are our church and the grocery store where Miranda works.... and those are STILL about 9-10 miles away! I almost wish that we were in the position to be able to move into town, but right now isn't the right time to be selling our house and moving.

Well, now you know all of the thoughts that are running thru my head!! --- Well, those aren't ALL of the thoughts. LOL!!!
