Re-motivation

Aug 01, 2011

Ok, so I've been on vaction a couple of times, I've seen my family and I've done some traveling, but I have yet to get back to my workouts the way I should be. Some of this is in part, because of having my floors and house all ripped apart while I put down the laminate wood flooring.  Thank goodness I'm just about done.  I have a new outlook about my house and can't wait to get it all cleaned up so I can start inviting people over to see the floor.  (Oh yeah, and to get back into my nightly routine of working out!!)

I'm excited to start exercising again today. Yes, I said TODAY.  I'm planning to go home from work at a decent hour and then, I'll be skipping off to exercise!!  Not sure what I'll do yet, but i can always take a nice 30 minute walk on my treadmill and finish off with Week 1 of the Biggest Loser Boot Camp!  Or, I can use one of my other DVDs for a nice change... yeah, maybe I'll do that.  Use a new DVD to give me something new to do.

I've stated repeatedly that I want to finish this weight loss journey, and by finish, I mean, reach my goal.  So, the only way I can get there is to exercise.  Only 35 more pounds til I'm there, and I foresee a sweet pair of Manolo Blahniks in my future!!

I need that rush of "feel good" endorphins, I want to feel my muscles being stretched and worked.  While I was visiting family a few weeks ago, I got that feel good rush when I first saw many of them since the surgery.  Considering I'm down almost 100 pounds since the last time they saw me... I can only say, its quite a change, and what a great reception I got.  Everyone was so supportive and complimented me on how well I'm doing.  I feel so wonderful in that respect, however I did start to feel a little bad for my family that has weight to lose.  My sister in particular.  She just had a baby in March, and is breast feeding, but hasn't lost any of her baby weight.  I am now smaller than she is, and as happy as I am for myself, I do feel bad for my sister.  I know she struggles with her weight just like I do, and I have already offered to help any way I can. 
My new guilty pleasure is wanting everyone I love to be healthy... so I tend to pipe up and tell them all to get healthy, at least I know when to stop spouting off those opinions.

No matter what you still need to do, whether it be losing weight or just maintaining.  Remember to always exercise.  It needs to be considered a way of life.  Summer has been great, but I am starting to fall back into my lazy habits, so I MUST MUST MUST nip this problem in the bud.  And I will... just as soon as I get out of work today!!!

Have a good week everyone!!
