My delicious lunch

I haven’t mentioned fitness and health in a while. That’s because, when I get discouraged, I get depressed about it and then I don’t want to talk about it. I have done a few things right. I’ve been walking regularly. I actually did use the South Beach Supercharged book’s recommendations on starting an interval walking program. That took 2 minutes off my 1 mile time over the last few months. So I’ve been moving!!!! But my discouragement and lack of interest has meant I haven’t made as much progress on my goals as I could have.

With the holidays here again it’s time to shake things up. (and maybe see some more progress!!!) I and a friend have started the 10 lb slimdown (again for me, new to her) and South Beach (back on the wagon for both of us!) this morning.

I’m so excited about stepping up my health and fitness and about doing it with my friend that I’ve been as spazzy as a yappy dog all day.

I’ve done my official weigh in, my walk, and the upper body workout. Why don’t you join us? We’re doing the 10 lb slimdown (but you could do whatever you like) which, in addition to Amazon.com, is available from iTunes. We’ll be doing weekly progress reports and we’re doing daily support checkins on Facebook. YES, WE CAN! I like it. 🙂

JOIN US!!! Here’s my Day 1 pic. I think my hubby snapped it while I was talking, which accounts for the look on my face. It may be my reaction to him suggesting I let him take the photo without my shirt. I said no. YOU ARE SO WELCOME.
