Feeling excited
As girlygirlsebas put it, I think I have found my mojo again. I’m at a point where I’m excited to be working toward my goal and I think breaking it down into smaller accomplishments gives me something to work toward. Even though my weight is higher than it would have been if I had stayed on plan, it’s still lower than it was before Christmas when I started this journey. And I’m in smaller clothes so I need to look at the big picture.
This week is going to be very busy but I will be able to workout every day but Wednesday. Tonight I have to scoot out of school immediately so I can get in a workout b/c I have a haircut at 4. Tomorrow we have school all day and then conferences until 8:30 so it’s not going to happen, but Thursday we don’t have to be in until 9:15 so I will be able to workout in the am, which is good b/c we are at school until 8:30 pm with conferences. Friday we’re off so I will be able to workout then, too. Saturday could be a toughie b/c we have my older son’s b-day party but I’ll worry about my plan for that when the day draws near.
My goal for today is to create a workout schedule for each week. Starting next week our school day is being extended by 30 minutes to make up some snow days (a brilliant idea!!!) so I will only have exactly 1 hour to get changed, workout and be back in the car to pick up the kids. I can’t waste 5 minutes trying to figure out what I’m going to do. I think after this week, too, that our lives won’t be as chaotic with appts./events in the afternoon so there should be nothing distracting me from working out 5 days/week.
With my food I have decided to let fruits/yogurt back in but I’m still going to watch it. I will probably have a yogurt right when I get home for energy for the workout and then have a piece of fruit after supper. That way if it does trigger a carb-craving I won’t have to fight it all day.
I’m glad you’re going to be able to get your workouts in this week. It DOES sound like you have your mojo back!
