Getting up early has been very difficult this week. I either stay up too late the night before or Georgia is waking up when my alarm goes off. It is annoying because I really want to get into the challenge and do the exercises. But I am not stressing about it.
I am focusing on my diet because that is what has worked for me to lose 20lbs. I was barely exercising before and the weight was coming off. This week to make up for the Christmas/New Year's binges I have not had a cheat day.
As the weekend got closer I was a little worried about if I could do it. I find the weekends the hardest to eat well because there is no routine and we usually end up at Wal-Mart or the mall or someone's house. Saturday I did amazing! We did end up at Wal-Mart and the plan was to have lunch at McDonald's. I just left Mike with the girls and I went and did the shopping. I am glad that I made a plan because it is too hard to sit and watch people eat and not take their french fries! Then Mike and I went to a movie at the mall where there are many of my favorite things. I didn't even have a bit of Mike's popcorn!
Today may be hard again but I know I can do it!
Next week I hope to get more exercise in, I am going to go to jazzercise at least twice next week. Bodyrock....only if it works next week, is an insane week for me with meetings etc...so I am taking the blame and feelings of failure away because it is all about my diet.
It's excellent to hear from you, Melynda! Great job with the exercising this year and I wish you the very best in keeping it up each morning. I know that is something I am working on, too, and it's going to be a challenge as long as I am dealing with little people before dawn ;)
ReplyDeleteKeep focusing on sticking to your guns and be healthy!
I managed to resist McD's the other day too when Matt had it... but I don't know if I could resist McD's and Movie Popcorn in the same day! You rock!
