So as I sit here reflecting, I felt I should start this blog to maybe help myself and maybe others who have reached 90 days with something in their life.
Here is my story:
The beginning of May I had my niece's first holy communion. A family friend (innocently) asked me if I was expecting. Previous to this, I have "dieted" I have tried multiple work out routines, and like in the past, it lasted 2 weeks or maybe a month and then something would "happen" and i would stop.
Back on topic. SO, I was fine with it and she felt awful. I was fine all day! Once our two kids were in bed....I sat down....and started sobbing. THIS was the motivation I needed. I haven't been pregnant in 2 years, and after having two children and knowing that we were done with pregnancies I decided it was time for ME.
I was going to be 31 and still haven't made time for ME! It was my turn! All I needed was a small amount of time for ME!
That night i started some research and asked a friend of mine for some advice. Her words of wisdom were "Couch to 5k". BAM! Like that I was hooked.
It is now August and 3 times a week I run 3.1miles. I am just now trying to put some Jillian Michaels 30 day shred in there twice a week. That has been a little bit harder to keep up with, but I am trying.
The past few weeks I have been struggling. Talking myself out of running, and then guilting myself back into it. It is hard because I don't have a jogging stroller or any way to bring my kids, so I HAVE to wait until someone can be with them or until my husband gets home and the kids go to bed.
So after all of my babbling, I guess I don't know why I wrote this. Maybe to vent. Maybe so people push me. Maybe so that if I know people see me struggling they will motivate me more. WHO KNOWS!
All I know is that I am really trying to keep it up and just feel BLAH today. Thanks for reading....if you have read this whole blabbering nonsense. And good luck to you all!
