Yippppeeee! I did it twice in a row!
elliptical trainer for 30 minutes
Yoga 20 minutes

I'm weaning myself off the scale habit. This is because I always gain weight when I begin to exercise which makes me want to stop. Therefor, since I know exercise will help me lose weight in the long run, the scale is hibernating for a while. How long does it take to form a new habit? This elliptical trainer is still not a bit fun for me. I will do it anyway!!!
Hasta manana Rawmigas!!!

    My thoughts are....if I did it yesterday...I can do it today!!! You can do it girl!!! Good idea about the scale!!! I am going to do that as well!

    I had the exact same reaction - gained weight when I started exercise. I definitely believe it's a fat-to-muscle "rearrangement" going on. Complex stuff...but knowing it's still RIGHT to do is key and not relying on the stupid scale. Awesome!

    Oh, and as time goes on I am finding that I go stretches of working out and eating great and ~nothing~ seems to happen. 1-2 weeks....and I start getting really frustrated. Then one morning BAM shifts happen and for the next few days I'll drop a pound a day. I know it's different for everyone, but if you don't see results....don't give up. Could be you "cycle" like I do.

    Thank you for the encouragement! I need it. Exercise is not my thing, not yet anyway! My weight loss has been erratic already. I am trying to just let go and trust. If I eat raw and exercise, the weight just has to come off at some point.
