Day 45

I just got off of the elliptical for 43 minutes (a full episode on netflix).I'm so tired but proud of myself for doing this on a work day. My motivation was knowing tomorrow is a holiday so I don't have to take the kids to school and can sleep in if my body let's me.

Off to bed.

One day at a time. one choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 27

Well the end of the month is quickly approaching and that means that I'll be doing my measurements and weight check again. I got on the scale tonight just to peek, and it said I've lost 1 lb. I've been 27 days consistent with doing some kind of exercise,  but I don't think it's enough. I know I need to get myself in gear. I know I could move more during the day and I definitely know that I'm not eating the way I had planned 27 days ago. I don't know what is gonna take to wake up and snap out of this funk.

Kind of a funny,  but relevant side note. Sometime at the end of the school year last year (may/June 2015) I had decided that I was tired of feeling frumpy (l ALWAYS wore jeans and a tshirt and flip flops or tennis shoes) and do I decided to do a social experiment and completely changed my style. Now all I wear is dresses. I dress like a 1950's housewife and I love it. People in my circle were a little confused and took bets to see how long it would be before I wore pants again,  but now I bet they would be confused if I did wear pants again. I was very unnoticed before...a big frumpy 30 something and literally the first day I put on a dress, total strangers made eye contact with me and smiling. Maybe it was a new sense of confidence? IDK. Regardless, now I find myself using my dresses as a crutch. When I wore pants, it was SO easy to just get up abs exercise,  whenever I wanted. Now it feels totally funky to get on the elliptical with my dress on. It really is a pain in the butt to get dressed just to exercise after I've gotten ready for the day. ..anyway, excuses. I have so many and need to stop.

The dresses are so small and such a pain.maybe I'll just have to exercise in them just to get over it. What's the big deal? Lol i hope i don't get tangled up haha. Tomorrow. I'll try it tomorrow afternoon. Turbo jam or something. Lol

Sorry for that rant.

Tonight I got on the elliptical and did 30 mins b4 bed.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 26

Tonight I felt like I had to drag myself upstairs to get on the elliptical. I sucked it up and did it, although I had to put netflix on and cover the minutes up so that I couldn't see how long I had been going for. I did 30 mins.

IDK why, but sometimes seeing how long I've been exercising for is self defeating bc I somehow will justify doing less time. I guess that's just one of those choices...

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 18

Today I got up "early" (actually 2 hours after my alarm went off...ha!), turned on Netflix and did 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer while I watched Pretty Little Liars. I think sleeping longer than normal helped me to feel better, and I've been feeling great all day. I haven't been on point with my diet, like I want to be, but I guess I just need to take it one day at a time.

Have a good night :)

One day at a time. One choice at a time.
