17 months from the day I brought my daughter into the world I am still not where I thought I would be. After running, Zumba, going to all natural foods, and cutting out sugar I am still 15 pounds away from my pre pregnancy weight.
In high school I was in every sport I could manage. I was working out as much as possible, as hard as possible. I also had a coach telling me how to work out and what to do to get into shape.
Now I haven’t been as consistent as I would like. But life kind of gets in the way. Staying up all night with Elizabeth, going to school, working, and squeezing in time with the hubby often push aside any desire to hit the gym. Now there are hours in the day where I could drag my self there but the few precious moments I have of quiet are all too tempting.
I interviewed the Marketing manager for the Wellness Center at my school, he told me that one major factor in working out is motivation. Motivation to get yourself to a gym at 5 am. I always feel amazing the rest of the day after I have worked out, but its reminding myself of this as my alarm clock is buzzing.
It is time to get my butt in gear. I have purposefully cut out times in my day where I will be baby/school/hubby free so that I HAVE to go work out. Also I have the motivation of showing my daughter a healthy example. I will track my progress, as well as log the hours and routines I will be doing. I will also log what I ate that day.
Prayers needed!!! : )
