Well it has been a very busy and tiring weekend, my sister came down with her hubby and brought my Mom for the weekend. Mom had never been here before, her health hasn't been the best in the past so my sister figured while she was feeling good it was a good time to come down, and no notice to me. I had a feeling she would be down so I was sort of prepared. We had many games of domino's and enjoyed a lovely ham dinner on Saturday afternoon. I was sad to see them leave as all I could think of was it was probably my Mother's first and last time to visit, she was so tired out as I don't have a lazy boy chair for her to sleep in.
I had meant to get to the gym on Friday but was put off by comments like its a holiday, I said I know it is but its also Friday and I go to the gym 5 days a week, si I said I will go after lunch then, The next comment was that I was addicted to the gym, like others. I felt defeated, I am far from addicted to the gym, I am trying so hard to increase my strength and lose the weight that has found me after beating cancer, why is it that others feel the need to sabotage instead of being supportive. Being over weight is hard enough on my self esteem let alone being brought into others negativity. The ones who will make comments on your blog and they have never even read it. We had a conversation about using cream and I said I often put a splash of cream in my tea instead of milk as it has less sugar content in it. The next thing I know I am being asked if I want some orange juice, I said just a very small amount, I was then reminded that it has sugar in it. OMG who knows better than I what is in food, one of my goals is to utilize my Nutrition Management course to try to help others, I know it won't be today or tomorrow, but I will get there. http://voices.yahoo.com/how-keep-others-sabotaging-weight-loss-7300456.html  
So today I tried to make up a bit of time from last Friday and did 30 minutes on an incline of 3 and then did another 45 minutes on an incline of 4, hopefully it doesn't rain today and I can get out for a walk. I also took a before pic of me today, hopefully I will see a big change by summer.
