Weight loss blog – Saturday May 1, 2010 (Entry #12)

Today I did Slim & Thin AND Sculpt & Burn together. Did a lot of stuff around the house today and didn't really want to work out. Needed to get the lawn mowed and Zachary wanted to do it for me. Lawn mower wouldn't start so I got all mad and need a new part. Definitely don't feel like working out when I'm in a bad mood, which I should because it releases endorphins. These are the kinds of obstacles and trials that get in MY way from exercising. We, as women, NEED to STOP letting our emotions take over of what's important, and THAT is our HEALTH!! SOOOO, I DID work out. I didn't start until after 7pm, but so what. I did both dvd's and a little over an hour later, it was still light outside and all was well with the world. Zachary went and borrowed his friend's parents lawnmower, so the lawn got mowed and I got my workout in. It really doesn't have to stop just because things aren't going my way. If I let stupid things like this keep me from doing what I need to do then I'll never get this weight off, life happens, BIG DEAL, you look at the problem, deal with it, and get your workout in. Even if we couldn't borrow the lawn mower, is it really THAT big of deal that I have to stop doing what's important, nothing could have been done about it at that point anyways right?? These are the things I am going to overcome through this year. I am tired of letting STUPID things get in my "emotional" way and shutting down.

Going to April's, and YES!!! I worked out!!!! :) Did the 32 minute Sculpt & Burn, boy the squats killed my legs today!! Could have easily said, "Oh I should let my legs rest, I'll just work out on Saturday." NO MORE EXCUSES PEOPLE!!!! Feel GREAT and proud of myself for not caving in. We also had a very healthy dinner, turkey burgers, broccoli slaw, and salad!! Was delicious!! And we had a wonderful time with the kids! Looking forward to tomorrow.

Tonight instead of doing the Slim & Trim I did the Sculpt & Burn. Lots of squats on this one!! Great for the booty!! LOL I also walk/jogged to CVS and back again. FEEL great!! Tomorrow I have plans with my best friend, April to stay the night at her house. Finding balance is difficult as those of you that have read this could tell. I WILL workout before I go to her house. I made up a calendar of my workout schedule and every time I don't work out I give myself a :( NO MORE sad faces. I DON'T like seeing those.

Wednesday nights are church with the youth. And since I'm a youth leader I like to be there. :) Did NOT work out tonight either. I am going to sit down and make a calendar for the rest of the year and have all of this written on paper as well. With goals so I can actually see how much I'm missing to help me visualize what NEEDS to be done and the time allowed to get it done.

Well had planned on doing 2 dvd's tonight. The first dvd is Slim and Thin, the 2nd one is Sculpt & Burn. Had a youth leaders meeting over at church and did not get my workout in. Could have at done one of them, each are 30 minutes. NEED to find balance and NEED to realize that I CAN still do something. It's better than not doing any of it.

Was able to do the whole dvd again, pretty easy today, tomorrow I will kick it up a notch. Last year I marked off how far it was for me to walk/jog to CVS and back. It is 3.2 miles, I will do my 30 minute dvd, which ends up being 2 miles, and CVS.
