At It Again.

So, my plan for Disney didn't pan out.  Why?!?  Because I am lazy.  Easy enough answer.  I have done this before, I have lost 40 pounds!  Why can I not seem to get myself back on track?!?  I am working on that.  So, I began again today.  My weight was 241.8.  Not horrible, considering I was in Disney World for a week.  Horrible because I gained back all the weight I lost, for sure.  A friend of mine recently started blogging about her weight loss journey, and something she said really hit home for me.  Break up with your excuses.  Brilliant!  Seriously brilliant!  I can make excuses for my excuses.  It's terrible.  Excuse #1 that I broke up with today:  I can't work out in the basement because it is too cold.  Problem solved, I worked out in the living room!  I realized that the basement is part of my problem.  I don't really like working out down there.  I prefer to work out in the living room, where it is clean, and bright, and doesn't smell funny!  So, I brought up my weights and all my DVD's.  I am back in the living room! 

I have also decided to break things up into one week challenges.  This week, I have a few to get started with.  Challenge #1 Work out at least 5 times this week.  Challenge #2 Wear jeans more days than I wear sweat pants.  Challenge #3 Get my food back on track.

#1 is pretty self explanatory.  My husband inspired me this weekend.  He signed up for  5K in April, and has started doing Couch to 5K.  He ran twice this weekend.  It is freezing cold and snowy.  And he went out twice to train!  Wow!  His dedication really made me see how many excuses I have been making.  Time to get over it and get working out!

#2may seem silly, but if I am living in sweats, I look like crap all the time.  And when I look like crap and don't care that I do, it will just keep getting worse.  I need to get showered and dressed in real clothes every day.  That will help me stay on track.  I think I need to get some "too small" clothes to work into.  Motivation!

#3 may be the hardest of them all.  I have been eating anything and everything, except what I should be eating, lately.  All crap.  I buy myself fruit and veggies and don't eat it because I am eating bad, and I don't want to waste good food on bad days.  I know, that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard, too.  I did some pinning on Pinterest, and have some nice recipe's to try out this week!  More to come on that, because Pinterest is never ending!

So, here I go again.  Hopefully I don't screw it up again.  Keep your fingers crossed for me!
