And...she's off...

Yesterday was a semi-success. I say that because while I did maintain under my calories for the day my choices should have been better. I am a constant work in progress. I have started my mornings with a short prayer asking God to shine through me and give me the strength and desire to make the right choices. I went to the gym last night and did 3.31 miles @ 3.8-4.0 on a 15 incline, talk about burning calories and butt muscles.

This week is a little lot crazy so I am really praying extra for strength to maintain. Last night I went to pick up the kids from their dad's in Garland (2.5 hour round trip), tonight we have an ortho appointment in the same city, tomorrow is church, Thursday is my monthly ladies meeting, Friday I am working a wedding rehearsal and the kids are going to their dad's again (my MIL is so kindly taking them for me), Saturday I am working a wedding all day and then Sunday I will be going to pick up the kids again. Lets not forget about my day job either. I did offer to pay my mother in law to come clean my house and do my laundry, otherwise it will all still be there next week. Oh yeah and tonight I have to go to the grocery store and get my food for this week. I played in the flower beds all weekend and didn't get enough prep done on my food for this week. I ran out of food as of lunch today and this will not work!

With all of that said I want to make sure that you guys will nag check on me daily to make sure I am on track and that I get at least 4 work outs in this week.

  3. That's great that you make sure to pray every morning. Holy spirit is the most powerful force in the universe! And he gives generously to all those asking. Pretty amazing.

    1. It's all the same after 9, it doesn't actually feel much different after the first time or two. Give it a try, I know you can do it and you will burn more calories!

  6. Hey! Are you getting in your workouts and keeping to your calorie goal? Life is busy--but you need to prioritize yourself (now if only I could take my own advice...). Hope the week went well!

    1. Yes! I am obsessive about counting my calories and I workout at least 5x a week! I am taking the time to make sure I am a priority!
