Excellent way to keep your mind off the boring routine!
 Get yourself an stationary bike and set it in front of an latge TV and plug in an CD of traveling "Hawaii" by bike. maybe you can think your going down the road with everyone else.

Diana - I've got the same after Christmas feeling! I have never done a weight watchers diet though. In Feb when I finish all the work I am just going to cut out all the snacks! When I had Joe I put on a load of weight and I got bigger and bigger in my 30's. Then I found out I had the wheat allergy as well as my ongoing underactive thyroid and I then lost 5 stone. I am always fighting my weight - it is an ongoing battle! You always look gorgeous on your pictures so don't lose too much when you do the diet!!!

I know how you feel Stephanie. I gained a lot of weight with Elsie because they had me on some medicine that makes you gain weight. Then I developed Hypothyroidism too. And am still on the meds that make you gain weight. It is a losing battle. After losing the 25 lbs when I first joined POE at least I have been able to keep that off. I wish I had somebody to walk with. Makes it a lot more fun.

Thanks Steph. A wheat allergy? Isn't there a medical condition where wheat is a huge culprit?

I also have an underactive thyroid and I'm on the drugs that lower the metabolism. It means working harder to lose weight, and I don't want to put in that much effort, so I've been sitting at the same weight for a few years.

I like to walk, but I like to walk on my own. My husband walks every morning of his days off too. It's great exercise.

Hi Sue!  Walking is the all around best exercise.  It's just difficult to get out there during the winter months.  Just last week a work mate of mine (who runs everyday) hit an black ice patch and went down. She broke her tail bone and fractured her spine!

Ouch, Diana.  Hope she's OK.  That's the problem here too.  Except our bad season to be outside walking is summer - too hot.  Every year I get into a good routine throughout the winter and spring, then summer comes along, and it's even too hot in the morning to go walking.

Shirley, we used to have a stationary bike, but I prefer my real bike.  We have a treadmill in front of the TV, for walking in summer when it's too hot to go outside, but the walk you get on the treadmill just isn't the same as a real walk.  I must say that I do get a pretty decent workout dusting the exercise equipment.  Laughing
