Today was a tough day to motivate myself to go workout. Last night, I didn't sleep very well. My boys kept me up, my Aunt who was visiting was up moving & talking. Then my husband woke me up, and found out that the kids had a three-hour delay. So with that snafu, I was really trying to motivate myself to go to the gym. I couldn't bring the kids to the Y because their child care room was already filling up because of the school delay.
So after breakfast, I was really lagging behind. But I eventually got up and went downstairs in our basement and got on the treadmill. I hooked up the computer onto the bar in our basement, attached computer speakers, pulled up some shows online & started walking. By the time I got done, jumped in the shower, and by that time, I got the kids off to school & I went to work.
Later that afternoon, I picked up the kids from school & tooked the dogs for a walk in our subdivision. It is a really hilly subdivision, so I did another 20 minutes of walking up and down hills. It felt real good when I got the dogs home.
Overall, I am glad that I really pushed myself to work out today because I felt awesome by the end of the day. Here is my food journal entry for today:
Breakfast
Bowl of Cheerios
Coffee
Lunch
Leftover Honey Grilled Salmon
Roasted Potatoes
Mixed Vegetables
Grilled Pineapple
Water
Dinner
Crockpot Chicken Breast
Roasted Potatoes
Corn
Water (2)
Tomorrow is Upper Body and I am really looking forward for it. Talk to everyone tomorrow!!!

Congratulations on sticking to this for a month! It's very important you spend time on this and track all your food/drink every day. Everything, every day.
ReplyDeleteSo how about a progress update?? What does the scale say? Do you notice any difference in the way you feel? It sounds like you are moving a little more than you used to and paying a little better attention to what you're eating.
Do you have any short term or intermediate goals? 10 lbs/month or 20 lbs down by the next family member's birthday/anniversary/whatever or 20 pushups/day for 2 weeks and then 30, etc. or swimming one more lap every week or down an inch in some measurement every month or participating in the next 10k walk in your area, etc. I think you get the idea. Rewards or 'free' days are important because you can celebrate successes, on the scale and in your overall lifestyle. Keep going and let us know your progress!
