Ok so let me say again how sweet it is to be part of this group. I can't wait until my life at work calms down a bit and I can be a bit more active in all the group has to offer. I am excited to go home later and look at the finalist videos! How wonderful for them. So my weekly recap. This week was good food wise. As I stated in my last post it is shocking what happens when I actually follow weight watchers....I loose weight. Its when I play games and refuse to track that bad things and the scale happen. This week at my home weight in I lost 1.5 pounds which for me is a really good loss and I will take it. It was a huge success to track every day last week.
My challenge and goals for the upcoming week are around fitness. I just can't seem to get my butt in gear to work out at night after the kids are in bed or take them to gym. A lot of this has been the time of year. For those who don't know me I am a high school teachers. At the end of the semester the grading gets crazy as do my students. I teach mainly seniors some in graduation requirement classes which means its make it or break it time. Now is when kids stay after, now is when they turn in work, now is when their parents call me talk about their progress. It makes it hard to carve out that time and it also leads to a lot of mindless eating. So my goal for the week is this...get my water in which I have made some progress in I am drinking a cup of tea at my desk now instead of coffee and try and get in three workouts before my next Monday post. How are all the Mamavation sisters doing their journey? How are my regular reading doing?
1.5 lbs is great!! I hear ya on the time to exercise. I've found that working out after dropping one kid at the bus and before the other gets up works best for me. I REALLY wish I had a gym, but I am not ready to pay that kind of money when I can do it at home. I hope you find something that works for you!
Good luck with your goals! Busy schedules certainly don't help. Congrats on your loss so far :)
Great job on the loss so far. Being busy is hard, but just try to make goals for yourself one at a time!
I weighed in for the first time this year since I couldn't go last week and my normal meeting date was Jan. 1st and it was closed. At least I have a starting point! Can't wait to see you this week!
I used to do tae bo and happened to see that the new series was for 24 bucks on groupon so I ordered maybe that way I can sneak in a half hour work out when the kids are asleep
No they don't buy I can't keep using it as an excuse for lack of effort :-)
That is a great idea I sometimes get over zealous and make tons of goals and get discouraged when I don't meet them
Good for you for getting back at it-i wish I could say it gets easier the more times I do it
