Wow, I can't believe it is already January 11th and only 5 months until Run Amuck! The holidays were crazy as I am sure everyone's were. My mom is still in the hospital - 45 days and counting. We are hoping she is able to be moved to a rehab facility in the next week and start getting her strength built up again, but only time will tell. She has another chemo scheduled for tomorrow and her new Lazy Boy recliner is supposed to come to the house Thursday.
As for me, I have not been very faithful at getting to the gym. I went last week & did all of the workouts, but the last few weeks have been a struggle and am a few weeks behind (which my trainer knows). He is putting the rest of the workouts on hold until I catch up, which is good because otherwise I would be skipping them & that wouldn't do me any good! I hoped to get there this weekend, but there doesn't seem to be enough time after my stampin' meeting, grocery shopping for my dad, cutting mom's hair super short, then heading over to their house to pack away the Christmas decorations. I know they are all excuses, but I didn't have the energy after all of that. Tonight, I have a neighborhood meeting to go to, but the good news is I am eating some yogurt & granola for dinner instead of Doritos! Since September I have lost about 14 pounds and my workouts have gotten easier. So something must be working! Now that I realize the run is only 5 months away, I need to get into a routine where I can make it to the gym with no excuses at least 3 times a week. What do you do to get back into a routine? I need ideas!
Hoping your new year is treating you well!
Cheers,
Melissa
I'm trying to make exercising a routine, too. I didn't join a gym because I knew I wouldn't leave the house in the winter to go. So I have a personal trainer come to the house once a month to give me my month's workout. She checks up with me by email. Just knowing that I have to see her at the end of the month is keeping me in check. I don't want her to increase my weights and have my flabby arms shaking. She'll KNOW I fibbed about the workouts! Keep going Melissa- you're doing great. Little changes make for big impact.
