It’s all up to me

I took yesterday off from exercise (except for hauling 18 cases of ceramic tile to the basement, that was tough)…not because I really wanted to but w/the excitement of Santa and then traveling to see family I didn’t make the time.  Plus, my hubby wasn’t feeling well and we were worried about Kyle being exposed to more people so he kept him at home while I took my older son to my grandma’s.  Secretly I think my hubby is overwhelmed by my loud, large family (I’m starting to realize how loud we really are) but it was nice of himto take care of the baby while I went.  It just doesn’t feel like Christmas if I don’t visit my grandma’s house on Christmas Day.

Anyway, the strange thing is that after taking 1 day off I really don’t feel like working out.  I am going to force myself to get one in, though, or I could go for days and days being a slug.  And with the way I have been eating lately that would NOT be a good thing.  Our nurse is coming an hour or so late this morning b/c we had some ice overnight but as soon as she arrives I’m hitting the basement.  I was going to go to the gym but b/c of the ice I’m going to workout here.  I’ll update after my workout to hold myself accountable.

I worked out earlier today and it felt good.  Even though I’m getting a bit “fluffier” with this holiday eating I know the muscles underneath are still strong.  When I reach the point that I’m ready to jump in with both feet I know I’ll lose the extra pounds.  This means that it will take me longer to reach my goal but I will reach the goal.

Progress toward workout goal:  138/250
