I did it!

I called & signed up for tonight's spin class. I can watch some of the Tour before I leave, and finish when I get home. No excuses!

I get a newsletter from the dwlz.com web site (Dotti's weight loss zone). The last email issue had a lot of great things in it, but a couple really hit home:

"... never, ever make moral judgments about yourself because of your situation. You are not the problem. You are a wonderful and important person. The number on the scale is not you. Medical conditions are to be treated, but you don't beat up the patient for having a cold! Don't beat up yourself for being overweight either!

Life is a Mixed Bag

There are things that are outside of your control in life:
Your genes
Your Parents
Where you were born and raised
Unavoidable accidents and problems

And there are things that are your choice:
Whom you marry
Your job
Your daily routine
What you eat
How you exercise
How you spend your money
What you do with stress"

I can't exactly choose my weight, but I CAN choose what I eat and how I exercise.

One more thought for the day:
“If you really want to, you’ll find lots of ways; if you really don’t, you’ll find lots of ways not to.”- Filipino Proverb

I'm going to spin class!
