I'm IT again!

I've been tagged again! Joy at Nuggets of Truth tagged me to answer these questions:


1. What has been the most difficult thing for you to overcome in losing weight?

The most difficult thing for me is being patient with my results, not comparing myself to others, and being too critical of myself. (That's 3 things, I know...but I really struggle with them all equally.) If I have been "good", I want the scale to move down quickly!!! I mean, who doesn't???? I just have this feeling of "I deserve to lose pounds...look how good I've been." But we all know, sometimes it just doesn't work that way...for some odd reason. I am REALLY critical of myself and I'm trying not to be...I am also trying to stop comparing myself to other women. It is pointless, right?

2. What's your favorite form of exercise, how often do you workout, and how long do your workouts take?

I really like to run/walk on the treadmill and watch my favorite movies or shows that I have recorded. I don't usually have the time to watch TV that I like so this is my ME time. I also like to do workout routines that are kinda like the old Jazzercise...you know...dance/bounce/sweat hard stuff. I usually workout for a total of an hour 3-4 times per week.

3. Do you take time to pamper yourself, and if so, how?
I try to go have a pedicure every 2 weeks b/c I stand all day long in dress shoes, but it usually turns out to be once a month due to time!!! I also have my gray hair colored every 6-8 weeks...I think this counts as pampering! :) The cost of it ....that qualifies as a pamper, I'm sure.

4. If you could change only one bad habit, what would it be and why?
If we are talking dieting...I wish I would just give up Diet Coke totally. I really don't know why I don't. I struggle with this. I know they aren't healthy...I know I should drink more water...I know I would feel better...I KNOW....what the heck is wrong with me??? I'm addicted!

In life, I wish I would stop worrying about what others think all the time...it is exhausting.
