the flu is so not good for exercising!

so I got the flu Thursday night and was in bed all day Friday with it. Let’s just say i was barely mobile all weekend let alone ready to move around at a fast crazy pace for exercising!

anyways, i’m only feeling a bit yucky today, so i’m going to take it slow and do my short fitness video. I don’t have to worry about calories so much since i’m still not eating alot.

Best part is I had a flu shot again this year. That was a waste!

Wish me luck, gotta get my nose back to the grindstone….with tomorrow being exactly 5 months before my wedding date, I can’t afford to slack off any longer. I know that 10-15lbs isn’t a huge amount of weight loss to accomplish, but when it’s all you have to lose it seems like it’s harder! to me anyway.

Thanks for listening!

I curse the holidays and all their tasty treats!

so I fell off the wagon, again. ouch. it hurt, and was dirty, but i’m back up in the saddle again. I HAVE to be…i’m getting married in a little over 5 months. I don’t want to be feeling the way I do right now on my wedding day. Curse the holidays and all the tasty foods they present to me! I am totally disgusted with myself - I would eat stuff and not even be hungry!!! We’ve decided that next year, we are only having Christmas Eve at our house again, and will have breakfast with his family Christmas Day. Other than that we are staying home. We were exhausted and totally over ate because we had to go somewhere every day. Next year will be much easier to not over do it if we are eating at home - more control for me. Anyone else have this issue around the holidays? Where you eat just because it’s what you’re expected to do? yikes.

So i’m starting my exercise regimen up again today and kicking it into high gear. Monday, Wednesday, & Saturday to start, and then next week i’ll work in some shorter spurts on Tuesday and Thursday. Will give myself Friday and Sunday as my rest days, unless I miss a regular day because something comes up, then those will be make up days. I’m also writing down what videos i need to do on the calendar - I feel it will make me more accountable if it’s written down, staring me in the face taunting me if I don’t do it.  

The good news on top of getting motivated again is that my Fiance is feeling the holiday eating bloat, so I know he won’t be complaining too much about my healthier cooking. His jeans are getting rather snug lately and he hates it. Sadly he can drop off weight just by taking in a few deep breaths - 0k, not that easy, but WAY easier than I can.

ok, thanks for listening!
