Another shopping day. Almost done (1 person left). I can't believe how fast this year flew by. Crazy fast.
Have I mentioned that I hate shopping? I really do. The only plus is all of the unconscious exercise (walking, lifting, pushing). Definitely better than sitting on the couch, although after a long day it's nice. Even during a lazy day it's nice. Oh who am I kidding. I heart my couch. Dare I confess that it's because it gives my hubby static electricity and he shocks himself every.single.time he gets up lolol. Even the monkey boy notices, because it's one of the make believe games he plays. He pretends to shock himself when he gets up to go in the kitchen lolol.
Anyway I walked exactly 2.5 miles (5292 steps) and then went Christmas shopping w/ the hubby and monkey boy. It amazes me how much he is understanding. He sees toys in our cart and I tell him they are for his friends and cousins, and he understands. HE UNDERSTANDS. That just blows my mind.
Still no 30 day shred. I remember to do it like right before bed. I feel like I might be boycotting it in some way (I feel a tantrum coming on...I don't wanna do it! I don't wanna! I don't wanna! no. No. NO! I just don't want to do it!), but am SO proud of Erin for doing it. She's almost done! Like practically done pretty much. Today is day 27 if I am counting correctly. I really can't believe how fast the time flew by. You go girl! Go give that girl a high five. She's awesome for sticking to it and getting her entire family envolved. (sorry Erin! I will still finish my 30 days if it kills me though. It might take me a few months but I'll do them!)
Work in the am. *sigh*
I can do this. I am a star.

You have 2 weeks left of your New Year's resolution - and it's probably time to consider if what you are doing now is what you had in mind when you made this resolution. What do you do each day that is /different/ because you decided to change your life by making sure you fit in exercise? If you wake up every morning and think that, I bet you'll go put on 30 Day Shred or get on the treadmill or do some pushups. Maybe you could write little reminders to do the Shred or something else on post its and stick them up.
Oh, Ellie wrote some powerful stuff up there. Having said that, you are my hero for having stuck to your resolution as far as you have! Two weeks is time enough to get back on track and the effort you put in now will guarantee that you don't end the year in a funk. I think it is time to recommit yourself, even if that means you have a crazy hectic two weeks. You are the one who reaps the rewards; we're just the cheering section! Remember, it was you who inspired me! (P.S. Day 28 is done...only two more days! Woo Hoo!)
