Making the time to exercise is getting easier!

I am now planning my days with exercise in them, instead of throwing it into my day at the last moment.  I feel so much better when I work out, and I am happy that I am once again enjoying it and making it an important part of my day!  I did Day 2 Week 1 of C25K!  It was good!  I enjoy feeling my legs work, and my lungs working, and my body sweating.  I am hoping to run a real 5K one of these days.  Yesterday's 6 Week 6 Pack work out made me very sore today, and in all the right places!  My weight was the same as yesterday, which is a little disappointing, but better than being higher! 

Lately, I have really been enjoying cooking and baking.  I made a healthy banana bread yesterday, that uses apple sauce and honey and no butter, sugar or oil.  It was good, but a little dry.  I am hoping to try more recipes like this, and be able to make baking a healthier option!

Big step!

The last 2 mornings, I have worked out in the morning.  I usually don't, because Joce is up and around and doesn't usually let me have that much time to myself.  Yesterday, she worked out with me, and today she played in the basement while I was working out down there!  This could be huge!  I prefer to work out in the morning, it gives me a boost for the day.  It makes me more conscious of what I eat, because I don't want to undo my good work. If I wait until the afternoon to work out, I am much more likely to come up with an excuse as to why I don't "need" to do my work out.  Already, I am feeling better!  I forgot that putting good things into my body makes my body feel good!  That exercise makes me feel better!  Why do I let myself forget that?  I am hoping to be more consistent.  To keep moving in the right direction.  To quit quitting!

My weight is 205.4.  Down a bit from yesterday, but still up from when I started.  I am trying to be better!  Today I did level 1 of Jillian Michaels 6 Week 6 Pack.  I love that work out!  I already feel like I look better.  My muscles are getting a bit more defined, and they feel great!  I am hoping the weather cooperates so I can go to the track tomorrow.  I am feeling very positive about being able to stay focused!

Getting back into the groove!

Yesterday, I did Day 1 Week 1 of C25K!!  I am hoping to do it on the days that Joce is in school, so that will be on Monday, Thursday and Saturday.  I am really hoping to do a real 5K race this summer!  Eric says he wants to do one too.  Maybe we could enter one together!  That would be something!  Today I did Level 2 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred!  It felt good!  I think my next purchase is going to be her Ripped in 30 DVD.  My eating has been much better lately, too.  Yes, I am still baking and such, which I am finding out I love to do, but I am making a conscious effort to be healthier when I am eating.  And trying not to go overboard when I do have dessert!   I am also trying to not let one slip up ruin the whole day.  If I do have something not so healthy, usually I say screw it to the whole day, and binge.  I am trying to be very aware that I do that, and not let it kill my whole day.  One day at a time, and I will do this!

I weighed in today at 206.6.  My first goal is 194, which is the lowest weight I have recahed.  I need to get back to it, and stay on the program!
