I know when my routine gets interrupted, I have so much trouble getting back to it. This week has been tough for me for many reasons, and I lost my motivation quickly and my routine was gone. I need to get back on track! I have been sick but I have been feeling better! I had a small dental procedure done which resulted in swelling, bruising, and a tender jaw that really affected my eating. My jaw is sore but getting better and I hope to get back on my diet. Had a few other small things happen such as our camper at a campground was broken into this week. Well, enough venting - now I need to find my motivation again and get back on track.
Today is a new day! My goals for today 1) track my food today 2)get in 10,000 steps 3)Spend time with my son.

Starting on Friday, I developed a cold. I just want to feel better soon. When I am sick, I stop tracking my calories, etc... and it takes me a while to get back to where I was. I especially lose my motivation to workout, and this takes me a long time to built that momentum up again. The plan is give myself today to relax and jump back on my routine on Monday.

Well, I just cannot seem to catch up on my sleep. I have not gotten 8 hours of sleep since last week. I am averaging 61/2 to 7 hours. I really need 8 hours and I am really feeling the affect. Plus, I have been drinking more caffeine which I am trying to limit. I have not felt up to my usually evening workout. I have to say, that I have been walking over my lunch break everyday. I am proud I am at least getting that in for some exercise. I am going to try leave work early today, so I can get a jump start on my evening stuff including my workout. I am making a crockpot dinner, so it will be ready to go. I am going to do all I can do to be in bed by 9:30pm. It is all about planning ahead of time.

I am ready for today! I have to work 12 hours today, which is hard for me to manage everything with that many working hours with an hour commute each way. So, I tried to prepare a head of time. Last night, I got in a great workout, I got everything ready for my son to go to school (including his clothes, lunch, and homework all together), I prepared my lunch and lots of good snacks to get me through the day, I packed my sneakers to walk over my lunch, I spent time with my son playing t-ball and reading yesterday afternoon since I will not see him today. I am proud of my time managment skills last night and this morning. Off to a great start this week!

Seeing those numbers on the scale this week, have been very motivating. I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. Twelve years ago, my mom lost her battle with cancer. I was 23 at the time and had a very rough time. My mom, along with many of her family members battled major weight challenges. She always wanted me to be healthy and in control of my weight. At one point, she made me promise that I would try my best to never go over a certain weight because she knew what a slippery slope it can be. I have not been able to keep that promise, but seeing that I am four pounds from my promise to my mom is a good feeling. I have more to get to a healthy BMI, but will be so excited when these four pounds are gone.
