Hi again Tx

So sorry I left you hanging before. Been really crazy busy here. Maybe if the temperatures are halfways decent you guys could go on a family bike ride, play basketball or go hiking. Join an indoor pool? Ski?

I highly recomend getting an IPod. You can download books on tape and that would be incentive to start hitting the pavement. Or you could just download your favorite songs from cds if you dont want to pay for ITunes material. I know I have gotten a lot of mileage from mine. Maybe look into a pedometer to keep track of your daily steps. You need at least 10,000 steps a day for weight loss. Sounds like a ton; but it really isnt. You can burn a lot of them just doing everyday chores and shopping. Working out doesnt have to be torture. Find something you like to do and stick with it for a few weeks; then change it up. Dont let your weekends be a free for all. Keep busy to keep your mind off your belly. Go window shopping for new clothes, find a new hobby etc. It will get easier over time. If you need anything; feel free to PM me or email me at Trying4Thin@yahoo.com just include a screen name so I dont delete you by mistake. I set this account up for people with any questions to contact me. Dont be afraid to ask anything.

Good luck!
