Time to hit the gym.

Why is it that getting back into the routine of working out is so dang hard? Once I get into the rythm I LOVE it. I look forward to my next workout and enjoy trying to push myself to new goals. I loved training for long distance running and want to get back to doing that. These days I am so tired that attempting to get up at 5 am to hit the gym seems crazy. Yet I know once I suck it up and do it I will be loving it and full of energy! So I did pack my workout bag and I am just going to go right after work.

There is a bridesmaid dress that I need to look good in and I have just over a month to make that happen. I think I will struggle with my weight and self image for life, this is just a part of me I guess but I know I will be happier when I stay active and take care of myself. That being said the low carb diet is too extreme for me to stick with. I just have to eat what we have in our home and simply learn to limit and do good portions... So Weight Watchers here we go. I swear this is the only common sense plan that you can follow for life and not lose your mind doing it. You can eat what you want when you want. You just have to stick to your daily allowance... I think of it as a budget.

Anyway, I am going to get back in to my running groove and start lifting weights for the upper body. I really want to look pretty for Erin's wedding. Both of my boys are being ring bearers in the service too and will be wearing little tuxedos... I cannot imagine a more precious sight and really want to look nice to take pictures of us all. Erin has been a wonderful friend and I surely don't want to be captured forever in her wedding album as large. Ugg. Oh well. It could be worse!
