I'm still here

Thanks for checking in...there has been no progress but I'm still here! I'm having a Rocky marathon this weekend (bought the whole box set on half.com a couple weekends ago) to try and motivate myself. If Rocky can go the distance with Apollo Creed I know I can get up at 5 am for a nice brisk walk in the morning! I'm sure I'll be around soon. The beginning of school, fall football weekends, and other excuses have gotten in my way from being motivated. I hope you are doing better than I am!

My Stats: Week Five

Weight: 229
No loss, no gain

This isn't so bad because I have not exercised any this week, I have eaten a lot compared with my usual diet this weekend because of company in town, and I've enjoyed the feeling of being bloated and extra cranky due to the other monthly visitor girls are so fortunate to have. (sorry if it's tmi...but this is my health journal!) I actually canceled my membership to the Y this week. I didn't want to do it, but I am just too tired to go in the afternoons and I prefer to come home and visit with Maddie and Eddie before they leave for the day. Gyms have never been a favorite place of mine and so I thought I could make use of that $46/month fee for something else.

I'm going to go back to waking early in the morning (4:55 a.m.) and walking at my house (on my driveway...it's long!). Early morning is the best time for me to get in exercise, before I'm exhausted by the days demands! Also, for me anything I can do at home I am actually more likely to do. I loved the Y once I got there, but it's the getting there that was a problem.

So a new week, a new plan, a new goal!
