Need Support ladies: Long!

Okay... so all i ever do is complain about the negatives about myself.

Finally FH and I went to sports authority and baught a work out bench.

So... I started my first work out this morning! YAhoo! I am going to do work out in the AM and the PM. Thats the first thing!

Secondly.. I am starting to count my calories... Need to get in shape. I feel so ehhhh!!!

Third... Im going to try REALLLYYYY hard to stop biting my nails. I did a little paint job and have cucile creme to heal my cuciles. (it is relly gross my little fingers)

Fourth: Stop Smoking! So... Starting today.. no ciggy's in my mouth.

So... that is alot to start all in one day. But I think I can do it... I am just going to freak out for the first few days. I actually feel really good after my work out this am!

Anyone want to join me.... I can make a support thread... with everyone posting their progress!

Anyone with me?

just take it one step at a time...Don't beat yourself up over everything. Slowly work into a new routine and dont try to do too much too quickly, in time you will accomplish your goals.

Good luck

I'm a nail biter so I feel your pain there... what helps me though is going every week to 2 weeks and shelling out the $10 and getting a nice manicure... works like a charm!

good luck!

I am working on that. I just have to get a little length and then i think that is what i am going to do. I have to have my cuctiles heal also.. bc when i get my nails done.. it burns like hell!
I am going to shoot for next sat morning to get a mani!

I am a cuticle eater!!! I was thinking about that last night actually. I'm like I need to stop that or my fingers are going to look nasty in my pictures

But as for the diet and exercise routine I'm with ya too. I didnt do any exersice last week since i was sick, but for 3 weeks before that and starting again this morning I wake up at 5:30. Do 40 minutes of pilates and 30 minutes on the treadmill and beat my mom to the shower. And then when I'm watching TV at night i do my ab ball workouts and weights.

Good luck with your goals! The best way to go about it is to make sure they're attainable. Is it too much to start working out, cutting calories, and stop smoking all on the same day? Each one comes with its own stresses/challenges. Maybe take it one step at a time? Like, quit smoking now (definitely make that your first goal), and then, next Monday, start working out, and then, the Monday after that, start cutting your calories.

Sometimes when you set unrealistic goals for yourself and don't achieve them, you feel like a failure and think, 'ah, screw it. I messed up so bad anyway - pass the ciggies and the bonbons!' You know what they say about 'slow and steady...' blah blah blah. Good luck! You can do it, and remember we're always here to help!
