I called to cancel my gym membership today...

... I haven't used it in 2 months. Not since I went to Texas in July, so probably closer to 3 months. Turns out I'm locked in until February. So... I'll be heading to the gym in the morning. I'll walk Eliana to school, then head to the gym for a 9am step class. We'll see how it goes. =D

Fighting...

I feel myself fighting these days. I'm tired of fighting with my weight. I'm tired of fighting with myself. I'm kind of just tired. I have started taking vitamins again, in hopes that my energy levels will return. Is it just the change of season that's getting me down? Is it the sun setting earlier? Is it the sudden start of school that has me up and doing more every day? I don't know. But I know that Leif took Eliana to school today and it is 9:40 and I haven't gotten dressed yet or really even left my room. I should probably do something about that, but I'm not sure that I want to.

Today's list includes cleaning the house so we can show it to friends who are coming over for dinner. I'd like to get some laundry and calls done, too.

Made it to the gym...

Not until 8 this morning, but I made it! 22 minutes into my cardio right now.... busy day today! Lots of calls, so hopefully I can make some of them from the treadmill at home and get more cardio in, too!

Starting my day off right!

I went to the gym this morning. 

I got up at 5am, when my alarm went off.

I got on the scale (and saw the highest number I've seen since I was pregnant with Eliana - and even then it's getting close)

I did 35 minutes of cardio.

I stretched.

I made a protein shake for breakfast (strawberries and chocolate protein powder).

I am about to get ready for the day.

Today is going to be a good day!

At the gym this morning!

I am at the gym this morning! Not the most strenuous workout, but here I am! I tried a new alarm clock app on my phone this morning and it seems to help get me out of bed and going. It allows me to type a custom message to be read overtop whatever alarm/music sound I want. Mine has energetic music and tells me that it's time to go to the gym, that I want to form good habits and become a woman of discipline. :) It was great! The only downside is that it gave me the option to do a math problem before I was allowed to turn the alarm off and the math problem was complicated enough I had to wander downstairs and find a calculator before I could turn it off! I think I will change that setting before tomorrow!

Today is a new day and I am starting it with a workout, scripture, and one of the scrolls. Now back home to finish up unpacking and setting up the craft room before my day gets underway!

I'm Here!

Busy, busy, busy... we move into the new house next Saturday!! Hooray!! DIQ is going along, mostly just making me work my business more and more! I have 6 parties on the books in the next couple weeks or so and I had a $600+ day today... not too bad right now! But it is keeping me busy, and I am working on trying to keep my priorities in line. Facebook and Blogging have definitely gone waaaaaay down.

The scale this morning put me at 144 even. Better than last week, that's for sure!

I have been making it to the gym 3-4 times a week, doing weights, cardio, and swimming. It's coming along, one day at a time!!
