NOt sure if anyone cares but reallly could use some support here. I thought about it and decided I would do my best to raise my spirits and try to look better for my husband when (insha'allah) he gets here.

Soooooo I got up and went for a run... yeah in hijab lol had my music on and really enjoyed the run. I am sure the people saw me thought I was bizaarre now that I've started really could use some support ladies and gents to keep it up!!

Now that would be a sight! Good work, and keep it up, I will sit and sip my coffee in honor of your hard work.

Sweet! Keep it up!!

Good for you! I just started an exercising routine also. I've been at it about a month and a half. It doesn't get any easier to make yourself get off your tush and do it. I still hate exercising but I do it every day, except the weekends. Good luck! I hope you can keep it up.

That's great that you are doing something wonderful for you!!!
I have been exercising for a while now, but not for just losing weight, but for my heart and overall health!

in three weeks i will begin exercising again as well .. gotta keep that booty and legs tight, hard, and toned

is there a running group that you could join in your area? a friend you could run with?

Saw this in Health magazine maybe it will help find someone www.Health.com/girlsgottamove

Says you can search by zip code for running partners in your area

Good to hear...I think the first step is the most difficult. Now just stick with it.

or just find someone with an unchained pit bull, that will work too.

good suggestion charles

Keep it up and inspire people like me .Been planning to excercise too but just can't make myself get started (haven't run out of excuses yet) .

wow just came back on and look at the support!!! I was surprised thank you! I don't want hubby to know so if you see him on the site shhhhhhhh it's a secret. lol wanna surprise him when he sees me next in person.

yeah and the "unchained pit bull" that difinatly would get me moving yikes!! lol I am also going to see if there is a running group. I jsut started a new job and trying to figure my "regular" hours so I can get in some routine.

that's cool! Keep it up!

I just started getting back to the gym too. My coworker used to be a physical trainer, so he comes to get me at noon, and we work out for an hour at lunch. I've never worked out with someone before, but its working for sure. I've been doing it for almost a month, and have lost 5lbs, and can already see some definition back in my arms and stomach. It's been good. If you can find someone who can push you, then go for it. Days when I want to eat fries at my desk, he comes to get me, and I've got no choice but to get to the gym.

If I want to look good in a bikini and my surfboard in a few months for Hawaii, I figured I'd better get on it!

That's terrific. I want to start running. I just haven't gotten the shove out the door I need yet.

wow Hawaii is great motivation! and good job finding someone who'll push your butt on. I need that.

That's great!! Hope you can keep at it!

Hubby bought me a Wii Fit as a belated mother's day gift since I mentioned I'd like to get one someday. I've been having fun with the games and exercises on there and I try to do 1 hour every day. I like it because it tracks my "progress" or lack of it
