Exercise IS a four letter word!

In my vocabulary anyway...

So as you all know, because I've stuffed it down your throats, I'm doing the Weight Watchers thing to loose weight.  To date I'm down 22.8lbs!  Yeah me!  But there is a component to this process I've avoided like the plague!  Exercise! Hate it! Guess I'm lazy at heart!

I have a busy life, mostly spent attending to my teens.  I also work full time and only have Saturday and Sunday to do my things, which usually ends up being their things so when would I exercise anyway?  OK maybe I could squeeze something in after work between rushing home to make dinner then rushing back out to get to the variously required events my kids are involved in, ya, maybe I could do something (said with rolling eyes) but I don't.  Partly the time constraints, partly the crappy weather, partly I HATE exercise (did I say that already?)  I think you get the point.

I have a theory.  Wanna hear it?  No? Too bad, gonna tell ya anyway! 

I need my weight loss to be the result of my changing my eating habits and not as a result of exercising along with this change.  I did that the last time and when I stopped as I know I will again I gained it all back.  If I can loose weight in spite of not exercising then it shouldn't matter once I do start if I should choose to stop again.  My weight loss is not going to be a result of exercise.  Exercise will be complimentary to my maintenance instead.  That and I'm in terrible shape so it's going to HURT and I don't like pain, of any kind!

So for now I'll keep telling myself, for me, I'm doing this the right way and when I'm ready to get back to the "crunch" I will.  The day is coming as soon as the temperature outside is a little better than freaking freezing and the damn rain stops, I'll get at it.  But for now, I'm going to continue to eat rabbit food (LOL) and count my points.  Love counting points! It's awesome!!!
