Wednesday, Jul 9 2014 - Choosing my attitude
View THEFATCHICK's food & exercise for this day
Happy Hump Day! Today is the Gastroenterologist and then to see Dr, Ted, my Chiropractor. I havent heard back from the GYN about my bone density test, thankfully I had a copy sent to Dr.Ted and hopefully he can give me the results today. I would really like to go to the gym and ride the stationary bike after dinner but I do have quite a bit to do at home. It sucks not being able to get there more than twice a week lately
I have to a lot going on at the house trying to purge to make room for my oldest daughter and her family to possibly move back in. Also doing repairs and painting, etc
Anyway, I would really like to go tonight; I feel like I need to go and one more day during the week day would be a good goal. The weekends used to be easy for me to get to the gym but now that Im watching my grandson
for 12-14 hours a day on the weekends, it leaves little time for the gym. Honestly, I would rather spend the time with him anyway. Plus all the doctor appointments and back issues lately have left me feeling a little deflated and Ive been feeling the negativity creeping in.
Yesterday when posting, I started out good and then found myself ranting about food. This was very surprising to me because I dont even particularly like food. Truth be told, I hate to cook, Im not a foodie and only eat because I have to, although, I have been finding it interesting to whip up something healthy weird I know a FAT CHICK that doesnt like food. Im sure that played a part in my current weight, buying prepackage, pre-made foods; now the only pre-made foods I buy is rotisserie chicken from my supermarket when Im in a pinch. Im really disappointed and surprised with who I was yesterday.
So yesterday I stumbled but today will walk tall I will be more positive, kinder to myself and stronger. Today I will act like the person I want to be; positive, confident, healthy and kind.

Happy Happy
It really must be in the air because I too, feel like a different person or maybe i'm ready to be a different person
I want to be able to put my head on my pillow every night and say
*Gosh, i like who i am
I have been combing the want ads for a old school stationary bike
for at home, when i have those moments i can jump on and at least get moving and get my heart rate up- maybe that is not a workout but its the
idea of *moving more* i'm after
good luck with the medical tests
My son is back home for the 2nd time, i think that is no longer the trend but, the norm. the economy is pulling family's closer/living together/ helping, pulling for the common good of the family and community it's a good thing

I find myself acting differently that I normally am lately as well. Must be in the air (LOL). I just keep moving along until I feel myself again. I also wanted to say thank you for your supportive comment yesterday. I don't have a lot of support in my personal or working life so I find it here on CK. I too have a lot of problems finding time to exercise. My problem is I commute an hour and 1/2 each way to work and back, so combine that with an 8 hour day, and that's a total of 11 hours each out. If it wasn't so hot, I would walk during lunch. When I get home, I have to make dinner then lunches for the next day. So by the time that's done and dishes get washed, it's time for me to go to bed. So what I plan to do is to start walking my dogs just before I go to bed, no matter what, even if it's down to the corner and back (a whole 15 minutes), but I figure it is better than nothing.
:wave1:
As far as your grandson is concerned, take a walk with him rather than go to the gym. When I have my grandson's during the weekend, we go on walks and they love it, not to mention, it keeps me a little more motivated!
Have a great day!
