Day 3 and 4

Sigh...
We have good days and we have bad days. Life happens. That is what I can conclude from Day 4. I had to work late at work. After work, I went to church with some friends to workout and play some games. At some point my cell died. Which is never good when you are a Momma. One of my babies ended up getting sick. We were at the hospital until a little after 11 p.m.

BUT....

I try to always think positive! There was a silver lining to Day 4. My t25 packet arrived!! I was bummed that I didn't get to try out it but I was glad to be with my baby while he recovered.

And recovered he did! He is acting like nothing happened yesterday! I am so so so glad! I was also so excited that I could start my new workout today.

Day 5 started out how I want my days to be for now on. I put in the video for the lower focus and enjoyed every minute of it. ( ok, actually, if you were here you would know that is so not true!) I may have been holding back some expletives. But it did feel good and I haven't been sore today. Since today is Friday I have the option to do two videos. Tonight I will put the kids to bed and do my cardio video.

I have been doing pretty good with eating healthy. I could make more of an effort to add greens. I think I will go shopping tomorrow night. Anyone have a good recipe for me? I will share my favorites soon.

Day 2 Beach Day

Here I am, again. Ready to keep pace with the goals I have set. Yesterday, was a success. I did the t25 workout and PiYo with my friend. It was fun but let's just say my arms are feeling it this morning. :)

Today we are going to the beach. I love the ocean, but somehow sitting in the sand doesn't sound like much of a workout to me. I don't have my own t25 videos yet so I will have to find something else to do. I will probably ride my bike. We'll see.

I will start adding pics again soon. I took before and after shots yesterday. They are pretty gross. I probably won't show them for awhile.

Hmm...I just thought of something. I should take a dress to the beach! What do you think?

Day 1 The Confession

It has been so long since I wrote. I didn't want to become this person. But here I am. I will catch myself before I fall to far.

I have gained 25 pounds since the fall.

Twenty Five freaking pounds.

I eat basically whatever I want and workout hardly ever.


Don't get me wrong, I did do my half marathon. I still have run in countless 5k races. But I didn't post them. I even ran my half in a sweeeet dress and dyed my hair red to look like Merida in the Disney movie Brave. But I didn't post. Why didn't I post?

Because. Because I wasn't putting my all into it. Because I knew I wasn't doing *my* best. Or even half my best. I failed myself.

So here I am at the lost and found. I found the 25 pounds I had lost and hoping I don't find any more. Today I start over. Or continue to start again. I weighed myself yesterday and took measurements. I will be healthy! I will have a blast.

And I will post about it. Every.Single.Day.

Today was my confession. I am going to a friend's house and trying out a beachbody  video. I heard it is crazy hard, but I don't want something easy. I have a fridge stocked with leafy greens. I am ready.
