Well, snow over the weekend hampered some of our plans, and rearranged this week a little bit, but we'll manage. It seems like I keep telling myself I need to workout in the evenings, then every night something comes up and I don't do a workout. Tonight is my son's blue and gold banquet for scouts, if they have it, so my hubby is taking him and they are eating there, so I'm determined to get home and get a workout done. Tomorrow my son has wrestling practice and I work late so dinner as soon as I get home means either a late workout or try to get up in the a.m., which won't happen. I really need to get my lazy bum off the couch in the evening and do a workout. There is no reason I can't get a workout in at 7 p.m. I'm not going to the gym, I'm working out at home, so I just need to make myself do it. I really would love to get up in the a.m., but with the combo of pills I'm taking, there is no way I can get up any earlier. I am going to start trying to take my pills earlier in the evening though and see if I could get up. We shall see.

Eating wise, I really want to do better, but I'm having a hard time. I just need to slap my hands when I reach for junk. I'm going to try to eat more fruits and veggies during the day and I'm drinking a glass of tea before bed in hopes that I won't be so tempted to snack right before bed. I got a bread machine for Christmas and I've been using it a lot and finally made my first batch of 7 grain bread, which was delicious and my hubby and son loved it. I'm hoping the lower calorie and more grainy bread will be better for me and will leave me full longer. I'm going to try this year to do more from scratch cooking and learn some new techniques and find some tasty, healthy options. I'm ultimately going to try for better quality foods.

I hope everyone had a great weekend and your Monday is off to a great start!

Once you get a routine, exercising won't be hard. It's like brushing your teeth, if you do it everyday it becomes a habit.

The hard part is just starting! Last night, I wanted to just lay on the couch and watch Chopped while my daughter played, but one look at my new SYNC watch and the low step count because I spent most of the day in the car traveling, made me get my butt off the couch, convince my daughter to play upstairs and run on the elliptical for 45 minutes, while watching Chopped. I didn't miss my TV and I still got a workout and I slept so much better. You can do this!
