To all my friends - a request of sorts
Hey all!
I just have to say first off y'all are a bunch of wonderful awesome people and I love you all dearly!! And I wouldn't have made it through some of the stuff I have had to deal with without your love and support.
I just would like to ask as a favor to everyone as I endeavor to improve myself, that if at all possible :) I could ask for encouragement and prayers.
Most of you know that I have had a struggle with my weight all of my life and it has affected my health in not such great ways. Forrest bought me a cross-trainer and we just put it together last night. Today I burned over 200 calories which is no small feat for me. And that was only 20 minutes. I know I need to do more and push myself further, but without a support system I don't think I would be able to do that.
Sure I could ask my family too and they're great at that sort of thing... but.. I have a sister who poo-poo's the idea of exercise machines in any way shape or form... I love her to death but she doesn't get that what works for her isn't necessarily what works for me. I have friends who used to work out with me before I let my gym membership lapse. They're great for any encouragement as well.
I guess what I'm asking is that you all keep on my butt. If I don't work out... yell at me or something... I'm hoping to put in 20 minutes a day at least for this first little while and building up to half an hour to an hour. I so want to do this. I need to do this. And I just want you all to know how much I love you all
