Come hell or high water

I'm tired of not working out. I don't care what excuses I come up with, what excuses my husband comes up with for why I can't, it's HAPPENING!!! I held on tight through a transatlantic move for cripes sake! There is NO reason I shouldn't have been able to hold on moving across town to my real house. I'm so mad at myself but I know that it isn't going to do any good whatsoever. So I'm letting it go.

In my flylady program I learned that it takes 27 days to make a habit. So that's what I'm doing. 27 days to get off my butt and do the right thing. I dont think it would be smart to jump headfirst into a heavy weight program again, and sadly I can't afford to train with Cathy Savage anymore so here's my new plan. When I moved in, I subscribed to my favorite fitness magazines. In it are a wealth of workout plans and diets, including the info that I learned over this last year.

I'm going to do the bodyweight workout listed in this months M&F hers three days a week. Three of my off days will include cardio and yoga, pilates or an abs day to strength flexiblity and core as well. Sundays are off entirely.

Diet wise I can do well during the day. The evening meal I can't afford to eat differently from the fam but smaller portions and switching out whole grains for simple carbs can do a lot of good. Switch water for diet sodas ((damn that cherry coke zero!! brought that soda addiction right back)) and get to bed at a normal time.


The kids are back in school and I have to be up really early for them so I might as well use that time to better myself and wake myself up better anyway. I need to unpack the office/gym and set up my equipment too so that's def. on the plan. Long story short, I'm not giving up on myself anymore. And if I have to spend all my computer time on the rally room, or on bodybuilding.com reminding myself why I am doing what I'm doing, then that's just fine with me!!
