I realized today that I never posted about my weight last week. Interesting that it just slipped my mind, which makes me realize that maybe it's not all that important to me...when it should be. And will be, tomorrow at 10:30.
Last week I weighed the same as the week before and this week I lost 1.2 pounds from last week, which still makes me two pounds up from the lowest from the challenge, which means I'm not doing all that well.
But you know, I did go on vacation for eleven days back in June (where I gained nine pounds.) Isn't that a good enough excuse?
No?
Move on, you say?
Alright, I will. I AM GOING TO THE GYM TOMORROW! Guess how I know? Because at my gym, you have to schedule in advance if you want to come in with your kids, so you schedule it, but don't you dare cancel because then you're a jerk who made some retired woman come in on her day off just because your two kids set them over their legal child limit, so if you schedule it, you best find yourself at the gym when you said you would be there.
I called today and I'll be there at 10:30. Pray for me.
I'm actually pretty motivated right now. My sister, Amy, called me today and she was all like "I joined Weight Watchers yesterday, and went food shopping for healthy good stuff and I ran yesterday and pushed myself really hard." I was all like "OH YEAH, BIG SHOT? WELL, I DRANK PEPTO BISMOL THROUGH A STRAW AND HAD TWO VENTI CARAMEL FRAPPUCINOS AND THE MOST EXERCISE I DID WAS MOVING MY SPRINKLER AND BRUSHING MY TEETH!!" I reacted that way because I was totally jealous (and very proud of her!) and now I'm going to be just like her and eat right and exercise and EVERYTHING!
Starting at 10:30 tomorrow.
I'll be sure to not work my fingers and forearm muscles to hard, I'd hate to be too sore to blog.
Excellent way to keep yourself motivated. Jealousy can work wonders if managed correctly, right? LOL

Good luck today. Once you get back into it, you'll be committed to working out again and it will feel really good!

Good for you! Sisters are good motivation, aren´t they? I´m having a contest with mine, who is coming down in December, to see who will be more fit. I think she´ll win because she is single, younger and hasn´t had two kids in the past two years. :S

Excellent motivation. I started walking Monday and ended up with killer headache. Come to find out I have amega nasty sinus infection. I'm going to go back to walking tomorrow I hope. Just got antibiotics last night.
You keep it!!!

Wow! I can't believe I motivated YOU! Now that is quite a turn around for us! That motivates me even MORE! Except my feet hurt oh-so-bad from my new shoes. Oh well, work through the pain, right? Lots of bandaids!
