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!
