Time to get crackin'!!

Life has been crazy around here. I quit making "ME" a priority again. It's amazing how quickly that happens and how easily I just make it "ok".

And honestly, I didn't have it in me to deal with me when i was dealing so much with my son and his health. He's ok now that we're getting down to the root of his problems (turns out he has a milk protein allergy) and luckily, he's a TOTALLY different little guy these last few days. Makes things easier and we're both sleeping better now. :) Last week I did get the all clear from my Dr on my health and he said I am to commence working out full speed (he was glad to hear about my modified workouts) as I feel fit. YEAH!!

But for almost 2 weeks there, I quit working out. My husband quit taking kid duty for me so i could work out in the evenings and I quit food journaling. no matter what... it's all Excuses excuses. And although I've given myself a mental "don't beat yourself up about it pep talk" I also recognize that it's time to make me a priority now that things are better. no one else can do that for me, but me. I know life happens just as it has been happening... but I'm going to actively work on making sure that even though sh*t happens... i can't let it take over my health or I won't have a life to deal with.

SO!!
I'm happy to say the middle of last week I pulled my britches up and kicked myself in the as*. I started food journaling again and although I hadn't started exercising until today i talked with my husband about what i need from him to make things easier for me to not have those excuses to get in the way. Since today is the start of my week for weighing in he's agreed that we'll set the plan in motion. I need to be better about getting my day started and despite being tired not sit in my room with my son for 2 hours talking myself into getting going. i just need to get going. Which i DID. I got in a 24min workout this morning on the Wii and this evening I'll do a 20 minute exercise ball workout before he leaves for work. I've got my food journal for the week ready to go and I'm READY!! I'm ready to look at my todo list and know that before I go to bed, I need to cross off my workouts as a MUST do instead of telling myself I'll do it tomorrow.

Despite my lack of effort i have managed to lose 1.3lbs the last 2 weeks. I really am not sure how, but I know that this won't keep happening so1 way or another I will make myself a priority and that's all there is to it.

Always,
Jules
