Spring Resolution

I've gained back about 25 of the 50 lbs I'd lost. I'M SO NOT OK WITH THIS! Yes part of this is due to an antibiotic/steroid mixture that I was put on last year. But going back to my not so healthy eating habits and straying from the changes I'd made helped. I also had stopped working out.

So basically, I'm copying a radio commercial I keep hearing over and over again. I'm making a Spring Resolution! LOL. I've started working out again. I'm starting slow by working my arms with 4 lb hand weights, my abs with my stability ball, and my legs with basic exercises and my Leg Magic machine. I ordered the Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds Express dvd today and I'm adding that to my regimen as soon as it gets here. I'll be doing that complete with hand weights and ankle weights as I did before.

As far as my eating habits I'm making small changes to get back on track. I'm on a crazy schedule with the job that I have. I most often am not in bed until after 4 in the morning. I then get up at 7 to take Grayson to school, then am back in bed before 8. I get up again at 2 to pick him up from school and 2-3 days out of the week I am at work by 4 after that. If I'm not working I am up until after 4 again. Busy either cleaning, doing laundry, reading, playing with Grayson, etc. Like I stated above I am making better use of my time by exercising.

This schedule makes it hard to eat right all the time and the drive thru is very inviting. I've stocked my fridge with chicken breasts, ground turkey and lots of yummy frozen vegetables. I've got a fully stocked spice cabinet, and lots of wheat pasta and brown rice. Wheat bread if my only option so that's helping. One problem for me is getting my metabolism going once I'm up in the morning because I'm not really a breakfast eater. I never have been. I have a friend that sells Metabolife and I have some of the cookies and cream shakes so I'm working those in. I plan to go to GNC very soon to get some of the vita packs to help with cravings so that my body is getting what it needs.

Oh. And water water water! I'm going to make myself start drinking the water again. I had been on a schedule where I was eating well and drinking my water Monday through Friday, and having free weekends. This was working out very well for me coupled with my exercise routine. My weights and toning exercises 5 days a week and cardio at least 3-4. It was to the point that I would get a 20 oz coke and it would take me days to drink it. I want to get there again.

Obviously I know what works for me. I just need to make myself accountable. I need to make myself do it. At least for the next couple weeks so I can see some results, which will make me keep going. I can do this. I've done it before. Not everything has been undone. Hopefully I will have some before pics to post soon. Maybe that will make me a little more accountable. We'll see!

Well, 3 days of working out down and 2 to go this week. Let's see if I keep it up! No scratch that! I will keep it up! Check back with me!
