Day 7: motivation is slowing down: gotta stay strong!

Let me start by saying that today was my hardest day to get motivated. I am on a newborn sleep schedule and doing a "please for the love of God sleep in your crib" boot camp. And it is working but I am on a different schedule than the entire world it seems. So I woke up today for good at 1:00. I am taking care of the baby, cleaning, getting ready, running errands, picking up Riley, hanging out with my husband, eating dinner, cleaning up after dinner, getting girls ready for bath--etc you know the routine Mommies. If you arent a mommy you probaby have the school routine, boyfriend routine, or whatever it is that keeps you so busy that you would rather pout about working out for 30 minutes than actually getting up to work out. And did I mention my allergies are making me feel terrible!?
....anyway it was 9:15 pm and I made myself do a workout! It wasnt much but it hurt really bad and now I feel better. :) So I am pushing you to workout even when you are tired and it is late and you dont want to. You cannot get results if you don't get off the couch. Even if you arent lazy, just being busy doesnt mean you are getting what your body needs.  No excuses. We are in this together. :)

Diet

Comments

• I do not want to go back to work but can't wait to get into the gym again. (I have a gym at my work and will work out after work)
• I need to work out longer. This workout only took 15 minutes and although it hurt, I feel like I could push myself harder. I need to plan to fit my workout in my schedule better. I felt rushed since it was so late.
• Feeling great about the responses to my blog on facebook. It is the greatest gift to motivate others. Thanks guys!
