I am feeling pretty good about my progress so far. On one hand, I feel like I am making good (but slow) progress, which hopefully means the weight I’m losing will stay off. On the other hand, I’d like to be rockin’ like some of you are. This month will be a little challenging because we are going to Disneyland next week, and vacations always throw my groove off. So this week I am ramping up my exercise before we head out. Last week was super crazy for me, and I didn’t exercise as much as I would have liked, so hopefully I can make up for that this week.
At the beginning of all this, I said my “happy weight” is 125, and I’m hoping to see that this month. My goal, though, is to push past that and see if I can find a new “happy weight.” More important that the actual number, though, is that I want to feel great about the way I look, and feel confident in a swimming suit:) I can’t remember ever feeling like that. For the first time in a long time I think it might be possible. I was reading an article the other day about a mom of 5 who gets up and works out for 2 hours every day before her kids get up. She commented that for her, exercise and fitness is as important to her well being as food – it is essential. It was a good reminder to me how important exercise is, and that for me to keep it a consistent part of my life I need to schedule it in each day. Most days, that means early mornings. I love when I am done with my workout before the kids are up. It feels like I have so much more time and can accomplish a lot more.
So……November goals: push past 125, exercise in the early morning most days (unless I have an alternate plan), and start doing strength training again
