Reasons to quite

Reasons to quite. To phone it in. To say I can't.

I have many of them and was trying to use one today. I was sick, didn't really feel good, or want to run. But you know what, I did run. I went down stairs and got my training in, and it made all the difference to my day.

There is always going to be a reason why it is too hard to do anything. Just do it, just try and do it.

Thanks Nike!

Saying No

Today I've been thinking about what has been holding me back for the past....how ever long...in weight loss and maintaining that weigh loss.

One of the answers is saying No.

As a mom and wife I want to be able to do everything. Clean the house, cook awesome meals, play with the kids, be a helper at school, be a good lover, ect.

But really what I need to do is do the best I can with what I have and really think before I do things. It's OK if I say No.

No I won't scrub the floor today because I need 5 minutes to myself.

No I don't want a cookie, because I really want to be healthy.

Just No to many things and yes to me.

Yes to what will make me happy and healthy.

So really I guess it just figuring out what I need, and that's what I'm trying to do. And it is much easier said then done.

160's in 160

OK so my last post was in 2009 and here we are in 2011.....yeah lets start over.

A little of what's been going on. Sense the last post I got down to 173 and was a loose fitting size 14, that was in May of 2010.

Today I am a little over 190 and a not so loose fitting size 16 again.

I hate roller co0asters, the rides and now the weight loss as well.

And here we are.

Tomorrow I am starting something I am calling the 160's in 160. I want to be at least 169( more would be awesome) in 160 days, that would put the end of this at July 23.

Tomorrow I will weigh in and take starting pictures, which I will post and keep this updated as often as possible, I'm going to try and check in every day.

Why now you may ask, why now am I starting again. The easy answer, I don't like what I see when I look at me. I don't like how my cloths fit, or how I wonder if people are looking at me thinking my cloths are too small. Really, I want to do this for ME. Yep just for me. To feel better and look better.

And tomorrow we will start, I'm sure I will have off days, hard days, and some really good days. It will be an interesting journey.

Day 3

Today I worked out in the middle of the day. It worked well for me, other than the fact that I had to shower again, but it was still a good time, much better than night time.

I woke up late which is why I didn't go this morning. But hopefully tomorrow morning will be better.

3 days down, way more to go.

Day 2

I wasn't able to work out this morning because Ryan had to meet with Skyler early. I did work out, 1/2 hour on the bike, when I got home from work at 9:00. My heart wasn't in it. I like monring work outs. But I did it and made it the whole 1/2 hour. I watched the clock hoping it would move faster, but stayed on the whole time.

Day 2
