WHO IS VAL?

Hi my name is Val Cavalheri.

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting some powerful and awesome ladies at the Modern Mom get together at San Vito’s in South Riding. One of the feedbacks that I received, once I was introduced as “the Val who is losing weight,” was that no one really knew too much about me--other than that I was losing weight publicly.

When I first started this venture, I wanted to be ‘everywoman’. Thinking that all the readers out there could better identify their own weight loss issues with someone who was more like them, whoever “they” might be. I found, during that evening, that people really wanted to know who I was. So here goes: Read More about Val

I got on a scale!

Hi,

I am overwhelmed with your support and well wishes, and here is the same right back at you!

A lot of you have emailed me with some excellent websites that I’ll pass on to you on my next blog.

I did something not so smart the day before yesterday: I got on a scale. I have been so rigid in my eating and exercising that I expected to see no less than 9-10 lbs. gone. Bye, see you later!

 
Fitness

Hello all.

Comments on comments:
Hulya, I’m no expert in this, but my first instinct in reading what you said, was that losing weight is hard work and it’s just human (easier) to do what feels comfortable. It’s the old comfort zone problem. People who have had a health scare or have an event, like a reunion coming up, tend to reverse this process so that the comfortable becomes the uncomfortable. My personal advice to you is, don’t overanalyze and beat yourself up. Commit to minor things: Can you write down and share what you ate with a friend? Would you be willing to have a cup of soup before you sit down to dinner to fill you up slightly? Something like that.

 
Getting healthy

First of all, thanks to all of your support -- new friends and old.

Janet, I’m there for you. We can do it. Let us know your progress.

With the weather being so great lately, I decided to take the bull by the horn and get some exercise in. I put on my sneakers every morning for the past three days, tuned my IPod to a book I’ve been listening to and set off. I’ve been walking .7 miles according to my pedometer. I wish I could tell you I enjoy it. I don’t. I hate it and I feel resentful that I have to do this. I wish I didn’t have to, but I have to, so I will. It probably would be easier for me to go with someone, but I’m not sure I could keep up with anyone else at this time. So I’ll continue to work on my stamina. I’m going to ask a personal trainer their thoughts about starting out with a program and get their comments to you next week. I have a question to any of you who exercise regularly—do you ever get to a point where you enjoy exercising, or is it always a chore?

 
Fit in the New Year

Hi, I’m Val Cavalheri. I’m about to start a journey that I hope you will join. I’m making a commitment to lose weight and get healthy for the upcoming year. I’m going public with this because I want to be accountable for my actions. And I need support. I know that I’m not alone; I know that a lot of you out there are struggling with some of the same issues and are looking at the New Year as the start. I would like us to start together.
