Today, I feel like I am back. The day hasn't started great. Iz was up a lot last night (ear infection? teeting? tummy issues?), we overslept and an accident on the beltway had me sitting in traffic half an hour before i gave up and came back home. But I am engaged again. Ready to exercise. Ready to spend time thinking about my diet and focus on the number of servings of grains, fruits, vegs, etc. Two weeks of sickness and "scrounge" eating followed by a weekend of company and overindulgence has motivated me to get back on track. I realize - I have a race to run! Time is wasting. By our vacation in mid-July, I need to be at a good starting level of fitness so that when we return from vacation I can jump on a training program and begin preparing for Disney. I am so proud of what I have done so far - got my diet under control, started exercising, and in the process lost 27 lbs, all huge accomplishments. but I am not yet satisfied. I want to do so much more. This is my year to get healthy before pregnancy #2, I don't want to peeter out 1/3 of the way through.
I knew that April would be a trying month. It has many birthdays and I normally start struggling around the 12 week mark anyway.
You guys are great motivation. Hope you are having a good day and a good start to a new month.
