Okay, I don’t even know what day I’m on anymore! I fell off the wagon and it rode off without me!!
With having the winter break, and working for a school district, I was off for 2 weeks; you would have thought I would have spent more time at the gym. Wrong!! I was running around a lot, the kids were sick and we went away to visit our good friends. I took my stuff with in hopes of running, but it didn’t happen. So I was definitely going to do it when I got home but the baby got a virus and had a fever of 102+ for 3 days and only wanted me. So me going anywhere wasn’t going to happen. And before I knew it break was over and a week and a half passed and I did squat! (Well I didn’t even do that! hehehe)
So where am I today??
I actually did not put on any weight on my hiatus!!!! Which I was extremely shocked when I stepped on the scale this Monday. My measurements haven’t changed either. Then I think what would have happened if I was working out. Oh well, can’t think of that, at least I didn’t gain!
Second, I have been at the gym every day this week so far. I think I do much better in a structured scheduled day than I do on days where I’m just hanging out and ‘I will get there when I get there’. My schedule is drop kids off at daycare, go to work, go to the gym, pick kids up from daycare, go home. And as long as I stick to that, I think I’ll be okay. And I won’t have another two weeks off until next winter break so by then I should be more disciplined!!!
My next big issue I need to tackle is diet, and that is a HUGE issue!! But I’m not losing nearly as much as I thought I would with how much I am/was going to the gym. It’s been about 2 months and I’ve only lost 4 pounds and that has a major illness included that helped greatly with that loss. So I know I need to work on that I just don’t know what, how, when . . . .
So please send all the encouragement you can cause I need all the help I can get!!!!!

Hey you!
You’re out there NOW… and on the right track NOW… don’t bemoan the past. You can only do what you can… TODAY. So, just for today, choose to eat right. Just for today, get a workout in… regardless of how long or hard. Soon you will see… you’ll be seeing the pounds fly off…
I KNOW you can do this. And remember, you’re a brave one to put this out here for the public to see.
Hey if you need a couple chuckles about making excuses… read my book (ok I know shameless plug) but really… some cute stuff that might keep things in perspective and see what others have done to get through excuses and barriers.
I would like to see more frequent reporting on here! People are reading… and following you. If nothing else, think of putting in just a line or two on your workout and diet… heck… if that doesn’t intimidate you into really working to report some good actions, I don’t know what will!

Thank you for checking in! I did see your posts on your book, and I definitely could relate to some of the excuses you had posted.
I’m slowly getting back on the wagon and hoping that I get my act together for the new year. I would like to do a couple races this year, but I’m still up in the air about that.

Just sending some encouragement.
Then I have to empty my bedroom and tear down the rest of my bedroom ceiling.
