I am so ready for some normalcy and to be back in control of how I spend my evenings. I am also ready to get back to the gym this week. Weight loss is progressing nicely but I miss the gym. I miss sweating and kicking ass. I miss feeling like a bad ass when I walk out of there. I did not make it to the gym at all last week. Not once. Between running around to get everything done for the baby shower and taking my kid from place to place I am exhausted. I had a huge webinar last Wednesday where I talked to people for over an hour. I spent Tuesday night working on that. Thursday night I worked late since I took a half day on Friday. The personal trainer called one hour before I supposed to meet her to cancel on me. WHY ARE PERSONAL TRAINERS ALWAYS CANCELING? This has been the problem with any trainer I've ever had. Now to get back on track:

I knew this week would be rough. I even made the decision to go to the gym after yoga tonight but when I called the hubby, he told me he had been called into work so I had to come home. Oh well, I'm content with what I can do so I'll be busting it out this week. I swear come July 4th weekend, I am doing NOTHING.

Accomplishments!


I didn't create a list of goals this week because I've been thinking that just for one week I was going to focus on what I can do instead of what I can't. Here's what I've been accomplishing lately:

1) I can easily do 60 minutes on the Precor Elliptical
2) I can easily do 45 minutes on the regular Elliptical
3) I can work out 4 days a week and get mad when my time has to be spent elsewhere
4) I can do the Cybex Arc Trainer for 30 minutes
5) I can eat less than 1750 calories per day for many consecutive days
6) I can remember to take my meds at night
7) My child notices when I am not going to the gym
8) My hubby doesn't have to ask if I'm going, because he knows that I am
9) I find myself bouncing around on my tiptoes which was something I could not do a few months ago
10) I get high fives from the guy behind the front desk at the gym
11) People are finally starting to notice
12) I can brag and mean it
13) I can fit into clothes that I bought last year in the hopes that I would fit in them
14) I can stand in poses in yoga that I've never been able to do
15) I have thrown away pants that just aren't right for me anymore


Oh yeah! I finally lost enough to get my Girl's beach weekend!!!

I am tired and I am mad that I have not worked out at all this month. I have rested though. So since I just took a week off, I'm going to have to be careful this week and take it slow.

I logged 1064 minutes at the gym last month. That's almost 18 hours for those of you that don't want to do the math. Totally going to bust through that this month.
