day 167 (day 6 / week 24)

Last night was a difficult one. The Monkey Boy never went down for a nap yesterday, so he decided he wanted to go to sleep at 7:30pm. There was no waking him, to keep him up a bit longer. We tried tickling him and playing with his feet, even moving him, and he just stayed asleep.

He woke up 4 times throughout the night. The first time, as we were heading to the sack, and he went back down. Then an hour later he fell out of the bed (it's only a foot off the ground, if that), then at 2:30 and again at 4:30. Then my hubby decided that today (of all days) he would actually wake me up early, like I usually want lol. I don't think I actually budged until 6:30 and I feel pretty crappy right now. I can't wait until our son does better with his bed. He did great the night before!

I have a busy morning ahead of me. I wanted to do the 30 Day Shred, but by the time I got into my exercise room, it was pretty late. I did Turbo Jam's 20 minute workout instead, with my sculpting gloves. I said to myself as I was starting the DVD that I would come back this afternoon when we get home and do The Shred, and that I would update my labels when I do it. I know darn well that if I wait to do that, it will never get done! I am the queen of procrastination! On top of that, I will justify it by saying "I did my exercise for the day so it's all good."

I am going to enter that label now, so I feel obligated to do it. If I don't do it, it will be cheating to me, in a strange sort of way. It's funny how a simple little thing like that can get my butt moving lol. God blessed me with that insight about myself, to make changes where I need to. So please notice, at the bottom, I scheduled myself to do the 30 Day shred, level 3, as well, making that a "twice a day" thing, as well. Knowing that you guys know I am going to come back and do it, will force me to do it. lol.

Do what you gotta do to make today count! This is your only shot!

I can do this. I am a star.

I just started following your blog, you are so motivating! Keep up your great work, I've been trying to get myself to try a 100 day exercise/healthy eating goal.

thank you Jennica! If I can do this, so can you! baby steps is the key, and just taking it one day at a time (no more!).

have you looked into sparkpeople? They really helped me with my healthy eating part. they have mini goals that you go on and get points for everyday which turned it into a game for me *lol*.

Good luck! I know you can do it!

Wow, so I just registered for sparkpeople...I love it already. I've been using fitday.com to log my meals because I didn't think there was any other online food journal that let me add custom food. Thank you for the suggestion, this should really help to motivate me.
