I could make a 1000 excuses

Its been a good week and 1/2 since I last worked out and my diet went to pot as well. I could blame it on working a TON of hours, managing school, taking care of the house and family, and having really really crappy sinuses. And that would all be valid. But really, I need to make myself a priority and take that 30 minutes a day or so, especially on the days that I do not work to workout. Eating well needs to be a lifestyle, not something I do now and then to shed a few pounds. I will be coming up on the big 4-0 in a few short months and I want to be fit, fabulous and healthy at 40. Diet is gonna be a major part of the equation. I have been skinny before, some may even argue too skinny, but never have I really been toned and fit. I need to come into the next decade of my life healthier than I have ever been. I know that working out and eating correctly makes me feel leaps and bounds better, but it is so hard to get up and get moving. I need to make working out and eating in a healthy manner such a routine that I dont even think about it, its just part of my life!! 
Well this is a new week. I weighed in today at 151, and took my measurements. Next Monday I want to be at 149, and by the end of May I want to see significant improvements on the scale and on the tape measure. I got off my booty today and walked up to the school to get my daughter after school vs driving and did a 30 minute cardio bootcamp workout. I am drenched in sweat and out of breath and LOVING THE FEELING!!! Dinner was healthy as well, grilled chicken, stuffing, carrots and applesauce. Drinking my water to stay hydrated. 
I will accomplish my goal of being fit, fabulous and healthy at 40. But y'all feel free to light a fire under my booty and give me a kick in the pants if I slack off!!!

Take that, stress!!

I worked a long day today and was stressed to the max. Ate a little chocolate that I shouldn't have. Was making excuses the whole way home as to why I didnt need to work out. I was too tired. I worked 14 hours. I have to get up and go to work for another (at least) 12 hours tomorrow. 

I came home and ate the pasta and grilled chicken my hubby made me....YUMMMY. Tooled around on the net for a few minutes. Started to feel guilty for not working out. So I did my 10 minute boot camp workout. It may not have been much, but I SOME fitness in today. I am proud of myself for that one small step today. 

April...here I come

After pretty much abandoning working out and diet in the month of March, I have no one but my self to blame for the 2 lbs that I regained. Time to get serious in April. My goals are:

• work out on my days off, doing both cardio and my arms workout
• watch my portions
• buy and take healthy snacks to work
• buy more fruits and veggies

I really want to get down about 8 lbs this month, so no more excuses, only results.
