Week 2, Day 3

I had intended to post on here every day just to help keep me motivated, but...OOPS! :)

Thursday went well. I stayed within my points and got my workout in. I started using my Ab Lounge during the crunches part of the exercise video. I just don't have ANY stomach muscles right now so crunches just aren't going to happen for a while. But I am VERY glad that I have the Ab Lounge. It feels like it does something and I can do it!

One concern I have is that I haven't had sore muscles AT ALL. I know that sounds weird to be concerned about that. I should be glad. But usually I get sore muscles so I worry I'm not doing something right. Or maybe it is just that I actually AM doing something right this time. I am doing a warm up and cool down with each workout which is something I have NEVER done before. I am still losing weight though so that is what matters.

Friday was GREAT! I finally found something to motivate me. I am excited to have motivation but at the same time sad because it took something external to motivate me. I should be motivated just because it is the right thing to do and it will make me healthy. But at least now I can do it full throttle! I am not going to go into my motivation right now. But it will help someone I love A LOT and that is very important to me.

I even took the stairs at the hospital (my daughters pediatrician is at the hospital so I was there for a well-check) and I was going to the fourth floor! Then I walked the length of the hospital four times (and let me tell you, it is a LONG hospital). I was very proud of myself!

Now for today...weekends are hard because the routine gets thrown off. But I am determined to stick to it AND get my workout in today. I am doing fine with eating but it is already almost 4:00 and I haven't worked out yet. But it WILL get done. It HAS to get done!
