Yesterday went awesome! I ate well all day, and I did Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Level 2! My butt is sore today, woo hoo! So, I weighed myself this morning for the first time in a month, 196.6. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be, only up 2 pounds from my last weigh in. Not great, mind you, but I thought it was going to be a lot worse! I went grocery shopping last night, got lots of fruit! Yum! Lots of yogurt too, Yum again! I am a little worried. Wal Mart makes a generic Slim Fast of the original formula, which I love. It only has 2 grams of fat, as opposed to the Ultra's 5 grams. If they stop making it, I will have to switch to the Ultra, which means adding 3 grams of fat per shake than what I have been doing. Not cool! I am hoping they were just out of it for the week, and it will be back next time I look, but that is never my luck! Everything I love gets discontinued!
I have to say, even after just one day of being back on the healthy track, I feel soooo much better! I was putting so much junk into my body that I was feeling like junk. So self destructive! I am glad that I am taking control and putting good stuff into my body, and working my body to make it stronger! I am refocusing myself, and recommitting to a better lifestyle for my family!

Time for action!
After last week's stomach bug running rampant through our house, I am hoping for a better week! And part of that better week involves me getting back on track! I know, I know, I have said it all before. But, I have become soft and squishy again. Yuck! I miss my muscle tone, and I want it back! I miss my work outs with Jillian and Jackie. I miss the sense of accomplishment that I feel when I am done. I miss the muscle soreness. I miss the feeling of strength when I eat something healthy instead of junk. I want it back!
I have had a stressful couple of weeks, to say the least. When I am stressed, I eat horribly, and have a tendency to lay around . The exhaustion I have felt is made 100 times worse when I do this. I am going to be tired either way, I might as well do my work outs and feel better, than lay in a pool of my own misery. Again, my biggest problem with my work outs is when to do them. I would like to do them in the morning, so I can shower, do my hair and makeup, and be ready for the rest of my day. I hate showering in the afternoon! I have to get a TV to put in Perry's room, so I can take his in the basement and work out down there. I am working on it. Until then, I can't use it as an excuse, and I just have to suck it up and deal with afternoon work outs.
On the subject of being stressed out, I have really begun to see my friends in a new light, in good ways and bad. There are people who have been my friend for a long time, and I am so happy that I have had their support and strength to rely on. In the same token, there are also people who have shown me what good, loyal friends they are, and I feel closer to them because of it, and I am so glad they are now in my life. I also have to say I am disappointed that friends that I thought would be there and are not. Part of what I have been feeling sad about is the realization that people I thought were good friends are no longer, and I miss them and their friendship. It is sad to know this, but I am also happy to know I have met people in the last few years that have become good friends, that I can talk to and feel comforted by. I kind of feel like I am starting a new phase of my life, learning more about who I am, who I want to become, and how the people around me effect that. I look forward to seeing how I turn out!

All talk, no action.
Wow, I was so inspired when I wrote my last post! For about 5 minutes, it seems. I Have worked out once in the last month. My muscle tone is gone. My belly is gooshy. I am exhausted and feel crappy all the time. Here we go again: time to make a change. There have been some things going on in my life that have been causing me an immense amount of stress, and I am a hard core emotional eater. The stress that is eating me up is causing me to eat everything up. I hate it, I hate that I do it, but I really just don't even know I am doing it sometimes. Perry has been sick this week, so things have been very thrown off. He is going back to school tomorrow, so I hope to get a work out in, and get back on track. So, once again, here we go!
