It definitely has been a while since my last post! Since I last wrote allot of different things have happened. My husband found a great job, and was offered a position in Colorado. So you guessed it, we packed up and moved almost 2000 miles from Vermont to Aurora Colorado. We drove 53 hours in 3 days. It was a long trip, but we all made it here in one piece and we are loving it here!
However..... for some reason every time I move I stop taking care of my self the right way. Why, I do not know. But it happens. So I have lived her in Colorado for 7 months now and I haven't worked out more than 3-4 times. My healthy eating.... down the drain. The end result: I have gained back 30 lbs, my IBS is WAY WAY out of control, and I am having problems with my joints again.
Before you start thinking "well that is too bad". STOP! It is not to bad... it is absolutely RIDICULOUS! I am sitting her writing this, and I am pissed! I worked really really hard to take of the weight, and to start loving my body for its flaws and strengths. But now when I look in the mirror I am felling the same about my self that I did when I first started my weight loss journey in March of 2010. NOT COOL.
Well I am done with feeling that way again. I am ready to START OVER! I went to the store and I picked up a bunch of healthy and quick options for myself, because with my hectic work schedule EVERYTHING needs to be convenient. Now my big challenge is going to be setting my workouts and keeping to them.
The problem I face with fitting my workouts in my schedule is that 4-5 days a week my day looks like this:
5 am: Wake up
6 am: Leave to take hubby to work
7 am: get back home
7:30 am: wake kids up and get them ready and most days my self as well
8:30 am: have kids to school
8:30-10:30 leave for work
from that point in my day I am at work ALL DAY, until 9 pm most nights
9:30-10:00 pm get home from work.
Now I have no excuses on my days off, as I know that I could MAKE the time for my work outs. I would go work out in the mornings in the garage but it has been way too cold for that. So it has been challenging... Well challenge accepted...
My goal is to work out on everyday off and then 2-3 of my workdays. I am going to restart Focus T25. And my goal is to drop 20 lbs by mid June. And then another 20 by the end of August.
Tonight I am going to take my starting measurements and also my updated before pics, which I will share and update every two weeks. I am also going to use this blog more often to keep my self accountable, and to show others that we are all busy, we all work, have families, and obligations. But if you take the time to care about your health, you will find the time to dedicate that care and physically do something about it.
So here is to a NEW JOURNEY!
