All bets are off...

I was doing so well, up to 5 days a week of workouts...even had a few weeks of 6 days. I lost 15lbs - allbeit assisted by sickness that severely suppressed by appetite. I can fit a pair of pants I haven't worn in years...I had finally overcome the hump! And then I got sleepy.

That is when I slowly discovered that when I'm sleepy my willpower is diminished, my drive begins lacking and my cravings increase to random nonsense.

Who knew the second of 4 weekends of travel and a little sleep depreviation would kill so much of my progress.

I could cry but as Janaan's dad would say "crying isn't going to fix anything" so instead I let CeCe talk me into the gym. I upped my base workout to 3miles and I'm gonna try to dust the cookie crumbs off and get back on the bandwagon.

I'm gonna keep betting on me!
Lose Toddler or Bust!!!!!

One workout at a time

In my perfect world, I workout hard for 30mins and lose 5lbs. My thighs are slender, my core is tight but still soft, my arms are strong and my butt can bounce quarters... and then reality sets in.

I have committed to 2 miles or 20mins on the treadmill but after two weeks I got bored. So now I'm doing my own version of a circuit with the cardio and hoping for the best.

On the days when its the hardest to change and go to the gym...I stop focusing on the things I don't like about me and start focusing on the me I envision cause while I'm cute now...I envision and all types of awesomedly figured me with cute clothes, more shoes and a handbag and watch collection that would make MK jealous.

That was until I got sick (like forreal fever, medicine, home from work sick) on Sunday. Now here we are at Wednesday and I'm still opting out. Not because I'm not focused but because in the last 5 days I've lost 15lbs...and not on purpose. I'm afraid that if I burn off the 5-700 calories that have been able to keep with me today that I will end up sexy...in a hospital gown.

So one workout at a time when healthy... but I'm definitely working out tomorrow!
