I haven’t been overdoing it. Actually I’m not really strong enough to overdo it even if I wanted to.

Went out cycling today. Beautiful outside but maybe a bit on the hot side.

I’m no expert, but that sounds like a lot.
Good work – but don’t overdo it!

I know that if I don’t do something that I will continue to gain weight. In January, when my hormones were really out of balance, I started to gain about 2 pounds a week. That’s a frightening trend.

When I went to Australia none of the clothes I bought last summer fitted me – that annoyed me.

I think I also got fed up with reading about how hard it is for someone with my condition to lose weight or exercise. Sure it’s hard – but how many worthwhile things aren’t?

Now I set targets and record what I eat and how much exercise I’ve done. Makes it much more likely that I’ll stick with it.

Wow, Karen. Sorry about the aches, but at least you know you earned them!

Congrats on the centimeters lost! That’s fantastic. I’m sure it feels great to make progress. I have to admit that I desperately want to lose about 10 pounds over the next month, but I have no motivation or will-power to stick with it.

How do you make yourself kick your own butt everyday?
