Finally able to get back into the groove of working out after missing most of last week. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal missing one day, but it's easy after missing one day to go "Oh, I'll make it up tomorrow." Then it turns into that every day. I don't know about anyone else, but I feel like at this point in my life, it's either do or die (in a sense of course lol). By become lethargic like that, I'm only setting myself up for failure. So even though I woke up later than I wanted to this morning, I still found time after my oldest left for school. One of the funniest things I have found since starting this is watching my kids try to keep up with me when they decide to watch Mommy exercise. My two year old likes to try and hand me the weights and after 20 minutes of watching me, decided it would be a good idea to try and do the sit ups with me. My six year old will actually try to do the whole workout with me, and he's pretty darn good at it.
I'm trying not to get discouraged, but it is a little difficult when I'm trying to get my endurance up and feeling better and I'm slower than I was last Sunday. I could feel it. But I'm sure that it's just one of "those" days :) I am seeing the results already, which does make me feel better. They are just small little changes, but they are changes. Little victories right now are going to equal a big victory later on.
I've started changing my eating habits a little at a time so that when I start this challenge on October 3rd, my body doesn't go through some horrible withdrawls. I'ts been tough, and I feel so bad for my husband and kids, but I know in the end it will be worth it :)
I start the 24 day Challenge on Wednesday. The closer it gets to that day, the more nervous I get about sticking to it. There are certain foods that I'm going to desperately miss when I start this, especially the Sunday night dinners my family does. But at the same time, I'm ready to make this change and start being better about it. I'm looking forward to seeing the changes this is going to bring.
