Okay so here we are…week 2 of my get fit me. Well progress has been slow. And I absolutely hate that I only have myself to blame. So before I confess my results I will first explain my million excuses of why I am where I am! 🙂 Like anyone battling with weight loss will do! So firstly I started this diet the week going into Presidents Day Weekend. Now I can handle a 3 Day weekend. BUT I had planned a fun girls weekend with my sister in law and best friend coming in from out of town. We had a blast, but it was a diet disaster!!! I’m talking alcohol, pizza delivery, appetizer nights, and just fun girly stuff! All of which is not good for you diet stuff, I mean when you are up all night enjoying yourselves who wants to get up and workout?! Certainly not me! So week one ended with a 1 pound weight gain and last Tuesday I weighed in at 177.8 pounds. Lesson here, don’t start a weight loss plan the week you are planning some girl time!! Also, I only gained one pound with all the bad food and drinking…so make sure you dance enough to work off the one pound you will gain during the girls weekend!! 🙂
Week 2…I have no excuse. I could come up with a few like the baby was off schedule and I had my period and I went grocery shopping hungry and it was Daytona weekend, and its been a little chilly outside. But really I was lazy, lacking motivation, and making sure I had a million ‘other’ things to do that were more important than working out. Also surrendering to my sweet tooth that was telling me that I really needed the chocolate and ice cream…and my brain was fogged by fat from a lack of working out so I failed to come up with healthy alternatives. 🙂 So end of week 2 and I am now at 77.2 pounds. Grr. I can only be angry at myself. Lesson learned this week: You can keep telling yourself you will do it tomorrow, but tomorrow then becomes today. So no more planning for tomorrow. I will work out TODAY and simply improve it tomorrow!!
So today I attempted to wake up at 6:30…but last night my daughter Vanessa decided not to go to bed until after 11! 6:30 came WAY to early and I will NOT throw in the towel but instead use her afternoon naptime to sneak in a workout rather than complete a chore I can do with her strapped into her carrier. 🙂 I am trying to start getting up at 5:30am to work out since that is when she is still sleeping and when I used to workout in my single years and had a lot of success. Its just a tough routine to get back into. I also took advantage of a Groupon recently for a 4 week bootcamp that will start in April and I have to be at class at 530 in the morning so better get on it now cause if I am late then I am forced into 20 push ups!!! And I am not confident I can do 1 push up right now!! 🙂 I will keep you posted, sorry it took me two weeks to write another post, it will not happen again! 🙂
