I have been an epic failure at blogging lately... sorry! The past few weeks have been mass chaos for me. I started nannying a 1 year old boy 2 days a week (food has been a disaster), guard has started back up (add another job into the mix), and we got Gidget - which is SUPER time consuming!
Workouts have unfortunately been few and far between. I get in a walk as much as I can with my mom, but it's been tough. I decided today that I am going to be "no excuses" again, and just say I was lazy. I took every opportunity I had to get in a nap, and it didn't work because I still wound up sick. The little boy I watch sneezed on me, and the next day I woke up feeling yucky. It was that quick. Bummer! But I'm on the up-swing here from the sickness. I was supposed to work out with Brenda yesterday, and I cancelled to take a relaxing day (we will discuss my "weekend" later). I am so glad I did! I felt MUCH better this morning!
So today I am getting back into the swing. I have been wearing the bodybugg still, and making sure I am burning my calories by any means necessary, but I have also been more active in other ways besides working out, and still getting my burn. This can mean great things for the weeks to come! When I'm working out again, I will burn that many more calories, and the weight will just fall off of me.
I have discovered the life of a mom. It's unreal how I'm squeezing in my lunch and eating whatever I can find. It's awful, but true! I only get to eat when he's napping, so it's like he goes down for a nap, I clean up, find something to eat, watch like 30 minutes of TV (usually Dr. Phil - I started taping it to have something to watch), then he's awake and moving again. He's at the age to where he walks all over the place, and I have to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't eat something he's not supposed to! LOL
So my "weekend" (this is the pain of working way too many jobs) wasn't a weekend. I did get to relax part of Saturday, but I babysat the neighbor's 5 kids Saturday night. AKA, we watched Harry Potter and had a pizza party. But then, the time I should've gotten to relax, one of the little ones wouldn't go to bed. He was screaming and having a fit, so we sat downstairs and chatted until mom and dad got home.
Sunday I had a meeting for OIPA, our winter guard circuit. Now that I'm a director, I'm supposed to go to these annual meetings. Yaaaaaaay! It was fun to see everyone outside of competitions where we can't talk, plus a girl I marched Collage with was there representing another guard, and my director from Collage was there. Pretty cool to say the least! It was a full day thing since it was in Columbus, but it was still fun.
So here we go, time to really get back down to business and back into the swing of things. The real positive? I've manged to maintain my weight from the 10 pounds lost! :)
That's the best way to do it Erin- We all have times where other things become short-term priorities, but keeping your eyes on the long-term goals and maintaining your weight loss is a HUGE WIN! When you get back on the workout train, you won't have to re-lose that same weight! Nice job!
