I was afraid to step on the scale yesterday, but I know the key for me is to keep doing it. I was at the point where I was terrified to hop on the scale because I knew I was overweight - I just kept gaining and gaining until a couple of months ago I stepped on the scale to realize I weighed more than my husband! I know people say it isn't healthy to weigh yourself everyday, but this is something I need to do for now to keep myself from getting out of control. It also motivates me to make the most out of every workout.
I made it to the gym last night thanks to the encouragement of Malea and Jason. My legs were killing me and I just wanted to go home after work, but I went to the gym and jogged until I couldn't (which wasn't very far) and then I walked for 40 minutes.
My mom has joined me on fat secret and I am so thankful to have another accountability partner!

I'm so proud of you girly! I felt the same way today that you felt yesterday at the gym. It amazes me that you can do a work out like 200 times and it still challenges your body! Hahah ... I thought this workout would become easy and tonight was such a strain on me. I'm thinking that maybe my body is in need of some rest! I certainly haven't been getting the rest I need ... hmmmm food for thought ... not real food of course! ahahaha

One of the best things I have done for myself is to carve out time for 8 hours of rest. I may not be sleeping for 8 hours, but I'm winding down and on my way to bed. I have to get to bed by 10:30 to have 8 hours. Preparation has been key for me...and the fact that my only children have 4 legs. Saturday is like a work day for me - I cook 5 meals (so lunch and dinner is taken care of M-F), wash and iron all clothes for the week (I hang them up in order, so I don't have to think about what to wear during the week), and I stack my gym clothes and towels so I just have to pull one from the stack each night to have my gym bag ready to go in the morning. It doesn't make for the best Saturday, but it gives me time to relax at home with Jason every night. My only chore during the week is to pack breakfast and dinner for Max and Buster.
