Week 9 Weigh in

Today I am feeling a bit discouraged. I am tyring to get back to the hard work I was doing, but it is not feeling like it did before. With sick kids, and appointments and me being sick, and all the stress I am feeling a bit run down!! I have got to get my life back. The bottom line is that it is my choice to keep working hard or just give in. I haven't been able to go to my class for 3 weeks, and I think that is keeping me down. I need that moral support of my friends to keep me motivated. Because I am having some sort of allergy/sinus/throat thingy going on, I exercised for 1/2 hour this morning, and I will do some more later. I really want to get our treadmill fixed, but it seems that there are just so many other things taking priority. So I guess I will have to take control myself and get things done. I need to make myself the priority.

My weight-252
Attitude- Stinks, but I'm trying to feel better.
Exercise back on track today!

Week 8 New Perspective

I am one of those people who gets tired of things the same old way all the time. I change my furniture araound every 6 months or so. I cut my hair short then grow it out, then cut it again. So what is my issue with my current routine?

I know I need routine to keep myself in check, but I get bored and discouraged with the same results. I think it was Mark Twain who defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results. That's me! I am eating the same junk or worse some days, and hoping the scale will show different results just because I'm exercising. So I think I need to change things up a bit.

I am now going to move my weigh in day to Monday. I think that will keep me more responsible on the weekends. I am going to revise my food journal to a simpler one. We have already implemented a family meal calendar, so that will continue as planned. I may need to check out some other workout options. I like most of my dvds, I may just need to spice it up a bit to something more entertaining. What exactly? I don't know yet. I think I'll check the library for ideas.

Week 8 Hmmph!

All right time to get myself in gear! I need to reset. I have missed a couple of days this week as far as exercise, and I really need to get back to my routine. I am human and I make mistakes. I am committing to writing each day to help me stay on track. No guilt just moving forward from today. I have been letting myself off to easy with the excuses. No more self sabotage. I will do better. I did lose one pound I think. Hard to tell with the up and down a pound I've been doing. My body is smaller, but the scale is not helping me. So maybe I just won't concentrate on that the next few weeks and see what happens. Body measurements next week...
