I also wanted to say thank you to everyone for your kind words of encouragement following yesterdays blog. Circumstances today have prevented me from doing any extra exercise but I have done lots of extra walking at work today and used the stairs instead of the lifts, every little helps !! I intend to do some type of exercise over the weekend. At home I have a Wii and Wii fit, Just Dance, Michael Jackson The Experience ( he must have been so fit to dance like that !!) and also a Zumba DVD , none of which I have used yet for exercise purposes so a mini goal is to use them in the very near future.
Karen ; I share some of the same 'hates' as you, photos especially. I found my wedding day quite stressful having lots of photos taken !!
No Spend Days ; I don't mind swimming once I am in the water but I hate the 'walk of shame' getting into the pool. This is probably the fastest I ever walk ,to quickly get into the pool before anyone sees me. To add to the horror, our local pool has the showers poolside so everyone can see you showering which I think is a bit intrusive
Savings for Travel; My weight loss/exercise is also for health reasons but I would like to get into smaller clothes, truth be known :-)
Vix ; Thanks for the link , I will look into that over the weekend. I actually used to swim there as a child, we were bused there from primary school for our swimming lessons.
Angela; I think that the GI diet would be helpful to me as well and you have done so well with your exercise so far, it is a great achievement and I bet you feel great for it as well.
Thanks again everyone and have a great weekend.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE GOT SOME GREAT IDEAS TOGETHER, I'M OFF FOR A WEEK AND WOULD LOVE A PROGRESS REPORT WHEN I RETURN!

Check out the Jennie Brand Miller book - it is the first, and I think best, of the GI plans. I am NOT being v strict, but thru using the book have made a few simple tweaks to our eating which have helped us BOTH lose lots of weight, but still feel full, and manage 'social occasions'. email me if you want more info . Blessings!

You'll do great! It's definitely a slow process! If you look on my blog, on my "about me" page, there's a pic of me, I used to be 55lbs heavier, and like you, was uncomfortable in my own skin, but all these healthy changes you're making will be wonderful for your health & fitness!! :) Keep it up!
