I have spent a few weeks thinking through my plan to loose weight, which has been searching for answers to how I got where I am and why. I don't think that is a bad thing, it is all a process, and searching is part of it. I've spent a lot of time focused on food; eating, avoiding, obsessing, and now I want to move on.
I have figured out the problem and have written about it several times now. It's time to get into the solutions. I also have a dear friend who kind of challenged me today in such a sweet way. She not only brought up how hard it is to lose weight without activity, but offered to be active with me, which I am taking her up on.
I have a sit down, 8-11 hours a day 5 days a week job that on some days I don't move from my chair except to tinkle. My body thinks sitting is the natural position it is supposed to be in. It is really hard to be motivated to work out before or after a long day of sitting. I have a gym in my basement, and stairs to run up and down and yet can't seem to get the energy to dive in. I know from past experience that once I do, I'll be good to go, but.......
It occurred to me today how lucky I am. I have had wonderful support, posts on my blog, personal notes by email or on facebook, and many wonderful phone calls. I have a supportive family and an incredibly understanding husband. I need to become more focused on the solution now, and get the faith in myself that others have in me. Help me get moving.
Keep me accountable!

I have found a love for yoga. It's all about accepting my body where it's at without pushing, without doing what's unnatural and it's about really learning how to listen to how we feel and respond to stimulus physically. It's a great way to really get inside your physical being with all it's beauty and wonder--and to be thankful for what's good instead of what's bad.
