The exercise catch-22

I have never been one for regular exercise. I did go through a workout kick in high school, and as a result, I looked pretty darn good then. However, being married and not having to impress anyone (although that is a horrible attitude to have in a marriage) has resulted in my gaining upwards of 100 pounds of extra weight. Yikes!!

The problem with being this heavy is that I never have the energy to get up and work out. But when I do get up and drag myself to the treadmill, I always feel a lot better afterward. It's definitely a catch-22.

I also started weight watchers again after about 6 years. I'll admit I've done some fad diets in the past, but I figure the least I can do is give it the old college try and see where it gets me. The low-carb diet was just too much for me. I think if I were to try that again, I'd have to go meatless because I was eating so much meat that it just backlogged my system and I had some big digestive problems.

I have an appointment with my doctor (who also happens to be my father-in-law's doctor) on April 7th, so pray that the physical results aren't too dire. I'm going to do my best until then to live as healthily as possible. It's not easy. My husband does not eat healthy or exercise, so there's really no motivation from that source, but he is still encouraging when I need him to be, even if he's not doing it with me.

I'm determined to turn my health around for good, and I could use all the support and encouragement I can get, so please leave comments for me- I'd really appreciate it!
