No excuses

Tomorrow is April 1st. It’s a brand new month. The month my life changed. Tomorrow is the first day I’m not giving up. My mother-in-law and I keep saying we are going to walk everyday. Well our weather has been kinda funky so we did that all of one day before we just quit. Well ya know we both have treadmills. There is nothing keeping us from walking everyday except our lazy selves. Well I resolve today that I am no longer gonna let me get in my way. I am a stay at home mom with nothing important to do. In the 8 hours that I am here by myself why can’t I walk a couple miles on the treadmill. I can…I’m just lazy and choose not to. Those days are over my friend. This girl is done bein a slacker! I want to be thin again. I want my husband to look at me like he did the first time we met. I want him to want me like he did when we first met. I want to be proud of myself and be able to show off my new body in summer. I’m going to try and make myself a routine. I’m going to get up with hubby and start my day. Pilates, and a walk on the treadmill. I’m excited for the new me. I can’t wait to see the results! Wish me luck and motivation!!!

Back in the game

Ok so I’ve been a real slacker this year already. Infact I’ve gained about 6 lbs.UGGGHHH. BUT!!!! This week has been really rough on my family and it’s made me appreciate things I have a little more. We all take for granted the things we have that would seem extravagant to others. I’ve learned to appreciate my living conditions, my lifestyle, and just my life in general. My mother-in-law and I have started walking every evening, and we’re trying to watch what we eat. We’ve decided to write it all down in a notebook and see where we can shave some unneccessary calories. Also we are only going to weigh ourselves every other week. We want to measure our success slowly so we don’t get off track. We’re going to take measurements also. We’ve decide our workout will be walking every other day and then Pilates on the off days. Hopefully we will see some great results and learn a healthier lifestyle.
