Accountability

Wow, I have to say I am really surprised at how many viewers I have! I had 68 views on my post the other day. That really motivated me to know that there are that many folks out there who are possibly in the same boat as me, or even just interested in my tiny itty bitty corner of the internets!

So, I originally came to make a post about my pedometer, so with that in mind here goes!

I recently moved my treadmill into my bedroom since my family kind of took over my work out room.

To celebrate the occasion I purchased a pedometer. I bought the Sync Elite activity tracker.



This lil guy actually tracks my steps indoors. Something alot of the more expensive ones can't do (found this out through researching). I do most of my working out indoors, at least til I drop some weight and don't feel like I'm dying in the hot Arizona sun while working out!

So as I sit here looking at my treadmill while I'm syncing my pedometer to my phone through an app that keeps track of my activity (Isn't that so cool!?), and I realize I need to hit that treadmill! I didn't quite hit my 10,000 steps yesterday!

BTW folks.. please feel free to speak up! I see you out there :)... Please share your experiences with the dieting world and your knowledge! I don't bite and I am always looking for more ways to get motivated.

Deranged Genes

My deranged genes... and no.. I don't mean jeans :)

How does one go about losing weight when their genetic make-up leans toward fat. I've been a healthy sized girl my whole life. Pleasantly curved in all the right places, not obese. Until I got sick. I have so many factors now counting against me, it is seriously like an uphill battle even trying to raise my energy level. Let alone actually losing weight. I have so many strikes against me. I have hashimoto thyroiditis, I have gluten intolerance, I have chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia.

How do I end up winning at life with those against me? I've turned to prayer, yes I am pretty sure God has better things to do than worry about my weight. I have tried all the over the counter flavor on the moment bottles. I have even *gasp* tried working out. As my fibro has gotten worse over the years though my ability to work out has waned to such a degree that it is work just laying in bed at times.

So, speakup! Anyone with these issues have any common sense luck? I'm all for hearing stories of success. I could use some happyness, even if it is by hearing someone elses happy and successful weight loss story!
