But there IS more to life than fitness. And life is complicated sometimes. I know part of it is that I am teetering on the verge of depression right now. I'm just not happy with the situation most of which I cannot change. I have lost much of my
social support (my mother, my kids, my exercize class friends, my work friends, etc). My MCCC friends & C5 are what I have left for social support and, perhaps I could spend a little less time on C5 but I NEED what is left of my social support system. The therapist in me knows I have to take care of both my physical health & my emotional/psychological health. I did exercize this morning during some of the time I might have otherwise been surfing C5 & have been doing that more lately. MCCC activities also push me to stay active. I detailed Ruby while I was at the cruise-in last evening. That was exercize. It takes a lot of physical activity to do a serious job of hand washing & detailing these huge cars! That IS exercize. And I am very OCD about it, everything, wheels, wheel wells, engine bay, trunk, undercarrage, cleaner wax, wax, glass sealer, detailer............the whole nine yards. Without the events I would not do all that.
You guys keep pushing & I will keep working on getting myself into a new routine!

I didn't address this post....
You own it? You can only be truly accountable when you decide to change. Make a plan? Execute? Horseshit....make the correct choices with food and put them in your mouth, drink water.....go to the gym, sign up, and go train with free weights. There's your plan...now execute it.
You act like you are the only one that has battles...Over 2 years ago the woman I thought I'd be with forever decided she wanted to do her own thing. Devestated....many a days a stared at a bottle of valium and thought how easy it would be....take the whole bottle and don't wake up. Know what business I am in? The diamond and jewelry business. How do you think I handled that? Dealing with people "in love" on a daily basis while my life is turned upside down. Son lost his baseball scholarship because he injured his arm. 3 months later Tracie (my ex) was diagnosed with breast cancer. She beat it. 9 months ago it returned in her lungs....stage IV. EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN ISSUES....STOP EMPOWERING THEM TO BE THE EXCUSE WHY YOU DON'T MAKE THE CHANGES TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
Yeah you are the only one in the world who is OCD about cleaning their camaro. Did you read my detail thread? Along the lines, if you think washing, waxing, detailing a car is "exercise" you need to redefine your definition of "exercise".
You will never get the best benefits from "outside support" until you make the choice to support yourself.
