Getting Back To It

UGHHH!! Ever felt like that? I do - alot. So these past two weeks, the ones I committed to logging a bunch of miles, not so good. Did I eat the Halloween candy? Yes, but not as much as I have in the past. I have felt so unmotivated, no change in physical appearance and sick kids. Which means lots of interrupted sleep and one tired mamma during the day. I know - if I just exercise it would change my whole outlook. I'd feel better...motivated...AWAKE!!

Well - I'm not stuck in the muck -I'm getting back to it! I started again today and I'm gonna keep moving! My ultimate goal is 70+lbs, my mini goal is just to get my "fluffy" clothes to fit nice. I want to enjoy the holidays feeling good about myself - and yeah that 20 year reunion is still coming up! YIKES!!

Though appearance wise I haven't seen a difference - stamina wise I have. Which tells me I'm making my heart healthy. And that's what I stress to my kids when I'm working out - it's getting healthy - not skinny. I want them to have a good view of themselves. A healthy one.

So although I feel UGHHH - I'm moving forward. Because if you're not moving forward you're moving backward and I don't like it there!

Still at it

Ok, so I'm the worst blogger in the world. It hasn't stopped me from exercising. In September when I first started out, I logged 3 miles a week. In October, I started with 5 miles a week then ended logging in 8 miles. Except for the week leading up to Halloween, only logged 3 miles that week - not too good, but I'm back on track. Gonna set a goal of 8 the first 2 weeks and then bump it up to 10 the rest of the month.

My kids are on board, they let me have my time, it's not as difficult as the beginning. My 2 yr old says "Essercise a momma?" Yep, baby you can exercise w/momma.

I'm glad I started when I did. We're coming into the holiday season and my thinking is: If I can keep this up during the holidays - then the rest of the year should be a piece of cake! Pun intended!

Truth time: Have I lost any weight? Not sure, I don't have a scale. Do my clothes fit different? Not really. Am I discouraged? A little, but slow and steady wins the race. I'm making life style changes, I just need to make a few more. (Like not eating all the Halloween candy!) Do I wish I could lose all 70 lbs before my 20 year reunion next month? YEAH! But I know that's not possible. I am where I am and I'm making steps to be in a different place physically and mentally. So here's to the next month logging in miles!
