I'm a yo-yo
Posted: Sun Apr 08, 2012 2:16 am
My wife and I have been yo-yo's for years. I have lost and gained the same 60+ lbs 4 separate times in the last 12 years. I'm currently doing modified Body for Life workout (started Feb 1), which has been the way I've been able to lose weight in the past. I have lost some weight in the last couple of months - almost 25 lbs - and I can run and lift more than I could before I started.
With that said, I was so fortunate to stumble upon the shovelglove. I am thankful for my good fortune. I have spent the last few days reading everything, and today I made a kick ass shovelglove of my own. I am starting this on Monday, with excitement and enthusiasm mixed with a bit of anxiety as I've practiced some of the moves today and I am not convinced I can go 14 minutes.
I am very inspired by the "My Progress so far" by SlothLike. I very much identify with having a hardwired need for quantifiable, measurable progress - which is not something I will ever shake, I'm afraid. In any case, I am grateful and thankful to this great idea and I appreciate all of the great and inspiring posts.
BTW - my friends think I'm crazy. They do not get it, even after a detailed description of why I am doing this.
