Sweat or no sweat , spring is coming .
If you've fallen off the bandwagon getting the goal for excersise a permanent life style change happenin , no sweat , spring is coming . It's a second chance at making the New Years resolution happen permanently . Who says New Years has to start Jan 1 lol .
For me it started yesterday that I decided enough is enough and like smoking I am just taking one day at a time and doing it . . I'm not looking at the future as much as I am looking forward to today . It's all I got and it's all the work that is required for today to get the job done.
Weigh scales are not required . Just persistence ,perseverance commitment and patience and gratitude " Lets do this in a healthy way" is my motto .
Like quitting smoking I had a relapse . Like smoking I let circumstances , triggers and the things that I had no control over take control . It's a negative response . I m taking my power back and turning negative into positive . I have to do it for me, just like I had to quit smoking for me .
I'm starting at the basics , back to just achieving small goals of time instead of fearing that forever word and facing the denial head on . I won't be or looking for excuses not to excersise, or blaming my circumstances on those circumstances or others . My quit is dependant on my attitude being positive .
No slips from this day forward ," I'm not going that way " another valuable slogan I will use to excersise . Not doing leads to not doing and not doing again and that leads to relapse . My new comfortable will be "doing what I think I can't do "and the goal is just to " go to bed a winner " .
Sweat or no sweat , I'm in it to win it . Let joy follow as each day passes . I can do it , you can do it , we can do it .
☀️One day at a time ☀️
Please join in if you want to , I'm open to that . We can inspire each other with quit slogans and memes , little successes and big successes , success stories and more positivity to make it happen ! No negative comments allowed even if you couldn't do it today . Negative never produces good results . " Make a commitment to excersize as I have today and use the quit slogans you are using to quit smoking or add ones specifically for excersising .Share what you use . We are not maybe body builders or triathletes just Ex smokers who want a better lifestyle moving forward . Who knows maybe some of you are body builders and triathletes present or Ex and if not I always say it's never too late 🙂 .
Please check with your doctor . Let them know what you are doing . It's always good to have them on board . They know your medical history .

SNS ( sweat , no sweat ) day 2
Have a good day moving forward everyone .
The "moving the best I can" concept seems best for me! I will seek out the different exercise groups you mentioned. All I know is I have to get off my butt, lol 😊
I think you would really like that group .. you fit in well there . It's the only group I know of in the excersise section that indingrl would have recommended to you . See you there .
Go to excersise and fitness .. you will see that on the top section of the main page then to go to Get moving part 3 .
The other way is there is three lines top left , it will bring up the groups . I honestly don't know of any active ones other than the excersise one , and pets. I tried to reactivate one or two closed and open groups but my guess is it's hard for newcomers to find them and then when no one there for whatever reasons , then It's not welcoming .
New rules and changes , and for me I know computer illiteracy can be a frustration , but I wish a couple were accessible and people there .
Good luck . If you can't get to it , I'm sure others will come along and direct you there'd. I'm not good with explanatory words .
Stay safe stay quit . You are doing an awesome job and so positive . I do hope you post here once in a while with your positivity and do what you can too .
As predicted a reply , and quick too lol , but to find it in your own , I hope the directions I gave you worked .
@Maki No Sweat. I may have read it incorrectly but a question was asked several times Sorry my answer has created a problem. If you wish me to refrain from comments on your blogs I will comply. I thought your blog was rather interesting, even gave it a like if I recall correctly. No shade keeping it real and honest. Blessings to you. It is all good. Have great day. No sweat
Your answer didn't create a problem , it was more info . I also could have posted a direct link but chose not to because I know for myself learning to do things and get around a new site can be frustrating , but like quitting smoking if we try , we usually find out we can .
To me that's something positive to be successful and that success encourages us to try new things we never thought possible .
It takes a village not one person .
Thanks for your compliment . When no one responds it's hard to know if it's helping others or just myself . If it's not then I. Won't waste my time just read for myself and keep in my own library at home .
I don't post everything in the get moving group so that it reaches others as well outside that group . Not everyone is comfortable posting with the elders either .
The new site for me as a senior computer illiterate newcomer would have been impossible but a wise man told me when I started to be curious , try , look around , we are here to help . It was that that kept me here and the desire to help others quit smoking and when I succeeded at doing something it helped my quit and so I learned and continue to try and do one step at a time .
Im right now trying to focus on positivity and excersise and will keep posting .
I thank you both for your input for my connection issue, my friends!
I did use Jackie's direct link to make a short cut for me.
BUT I will be using your instructions later today, Maki, as a learning exercise. I chose to put that off for now as I am cooking a dinner to take over to my friend Connie's house to help out while she is adjusting to the death of her son.
I will check back in this evening to report on my anticipated success 😍
