Cold turkey (Photo credit: e³°°°)

Daily Prompt: Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

You need to make a major change in your life. Do you make it all at once, cold turkey style, or incrementally?

I have to MOVE! No, not from one house to another.

I just have to move some muscles instead of relying on a chiropractor.

Must get up and go.

Can I leave the computer cold turkey?

Resolved:

I will walk every day and call it a priority pleasure

“O.K.– Cold turkey it is and – I’m outta here!”

Good for you! You can do it! And you might find that walking stimulates your creativity as in increases you blood circulation. Good luck!

Good for you! I dragged myself out this morning at 7. It was a little chilly, but I was bundled up. And I feel so much better once I get out there and get it done! We can encourage each other, how’s that??

  This is a very good plan. You are already inspiring me. I made it to Curves this morning! Hurrah!

You can do it!!!!!!! I just worked out on that new Whole Body Vibration machine I got. I really didn’t feel like it because I am super tired today, but I did it anyway. If I can do it, you can do it. Walk, walk, walk!!!!

  Guess what Cindy? I got one of those machines due to your good advice! The problem is it was missing the remote! I’m now waiting for that since I find it hard to bend over to start the darned thing and have been seeing a chiropractor for a weird back ache. Ah well. Good advice to walk. Tomorrow is another day……

    Did you really?? Good for you Dor . I think you will really love how it makes you feel. I walk around with a real spring in my step after being on it! It’s not going to make me lose tons of weight or anything, but it’s wonderful for circulation and for muscle toning. Mike, Daniel, and I are all on a diet right now too and are all losing weight. It’s really hard because we love to eat, but it’s easier because all three of us are doing it. It’s so much easier for guys to lose weight though. We’ve all been doing the same things, and I’ve only lost 5 1/2 pounds in just over a week while my hubby has lost 13 pounds. Where’s the fairness in that? LOL! Have fun on your walk today .

      Hurrah! Congratulations on the weight loss Cindy! I was trying something new too… visualizing when I’m actually full and not going beyond that point. It worked for a day or two. And you are right about the guys having it easier. No doubt about it. But tell me your secret to the 5 1/2 lbs!

        Thanks Dor . There is an app which you can get on iPhones or Android phones called Lose It, and it calculates how many calories you should have in a day based on your height and weight and how much you want to lose. Then you just scan the barcodes on food or just search for the type of food, and it logs everything you eat in a day. It’s awesome!! I think you can even just get it on your computer. It makes it a lot easier when you keep track of what you are eating and kind of scary too . The hardest part is trying not to eat before bedtime because that’s the worst time to eat of course, but it’s so much easier when everyone in the house is doing this at the same time. We are encouraging each other .

        I don’t have an iPhone or an Android… the are smart phones and too smart for me. But I love the way it monitors you. Big Brother is right there in your pocket!
