Well, overall I've been doing OK this week. I've rocked it during the day but my evenings are still tough. I try to eat right but end up eating a lot more than I planned to. However, I have really upped my workout times. I started doing the Zumba for Wii in the mornings. It is hard - especially since I have no real sense of rhythm and I end up cracking myself up because I know I look ridiculous, but it is a lot of fun too! I have been getting up early and doing a 20 minute routine. I really can't wait until I start getting some of the moves down! I also walked during my lunch time 3 times this week and I worked out at the gym this morning. I know my weightloss won't be as big as I would like because of the volume of food I have been consuming in the evening (and today hasn't been the healthiest of days but it was a nice lazy day to spend with my boys) but I feel better about myself.
I finally decided (thank you to Mellissa for the well timed kick in the ass!) that I'm tired of all this self-pity and beating myself up. Yes it's true, if I had stuck to the program and increased my excersize months ago I would be much much closer to my goal weight now. BUT - it's also true that if I hadn't been doing what I've been doing so far I could have gained a lot of weight too. So even though I've been working on losing the same few pounds over and over and least I haven't gained anything extra. Now, however - it's time to move on. It's time to put myself and my health at the top of my priority list. I've been trying to take care of everyone else and satisfy everyone else's needs that I have let myself slip away. It's time to reclaim my life.
