It’s time to work it!

I am really tired and out of sorts today. Had a major fight with my husb (blah, blah, blah) so had trouble sleeping.

After going to sleep late, I woke up at 4:30am with my lower back hurting again…always the same spot. Carrying my lovely HUGE baby killed my already bad back and I still have pain and sciatica to this day. I think all the ab and core exercises are aggrivating it but I am hoping to get over the hump to where my abs are strong enough to HELP with my back probs.

4:30am (while watching Good Day Sacramento…who the fuck is normally up to watch news that early, come on!) serving of yoplait light yogurt and tortilla chips that I did not count and made the mistake of eating out of the bag vs. in a bowl.

able to get some more sleep 5:30- 8:30. Thankfully my first appt was not until 11:30 in Lincoln today!

I went on a 30 min jog/walk while kiddo was in preschool

Then went to Bunco. Had fun (but was more tired then I expected) drank 3 alcoholic drinks, had yummy butternut squash soup, 2 small grilled cheeses (one on rye) & salad

Then the downfall continues…

7pm: 1 large slice of Chicago Fire deep dish pepperoni pizza, 6 baby carrots, 3 celery sticks w/ ranch

***so yes I have been slipping. I need to get my rear in gear! I think I gave myself too much leeway when I realized I had lost 6lbs in 2 weeks. I’m sure I’ve gain most, if not all of it back. I am so mad at myself. I keep falling into the trap of fatigue, stress and the fact that my family eat very differently then what I am hoping to do. It’s hard to effect change when you are not the one doing the shopping or cooking. It’s a work in progress. Working out is another issue. When to find the time? There always seems to be something else that needs to be done so I feel guilty taking the time away to go to the gym or go for a walk. Another work in progress.

Off to bootcamp…
