Not good. Not good at all. Monday I slept in, but I did work out 25 minutes while Mariska napped... but then ate a bunch of left over cake. Tuesday I didn't get up early enough to work out and had a bunch to do during the day and ate a bunch of beef and cheesecake at Enrichment! And now today I slept in too, but I walked over a mile going to Burger King for breakfast while our brakes were changed... does that count even though I had Burger King? It is so hard to work out on days I have to take Brent to work!! We have to get up, brush our teeth and such and then work out and then both be ready, plus Mariska by 7:15... so we'd have to get up at 5!! It's hard enough on days I don't take him to work to get up at 5:30, that half hour difference is a big deal!
And I have to take him to work tomorrow and Friday as well, to fulfill Young Women obligations... so this week is some what just a "bust"... plus next week we'll be in San Antonio at some point, not sure when yet... But I'm just praying for a hotel with a gym!
Although, I had a GREAT time at Enrichment last night talking with a bunch of ladies! We talked until 10 PM!! I didn't get home until 10:30. But it was great because they helped me realize the value of having nice clothes and feeling good about yourself even when you're big.
I was talking about how I feel so frumpy but I have a lot of cute clothes that I just can't fit into and they obviously went on to tell me I needed to buy new clothes. But I explained that I'm too cheap and that I don't want to because I'm really afraid of getting "comfortable being fat"... but then they helped me see that isn't what happens. That if I feel good and have nice outfits, while I'm big... that I won't be so depressed and go for the 2nd or 3rd brownie to comfort my feeling bad. I stopped and thought and simply realized that it's so true! I do eat a bunch of crap as "comfort food" and just bring myself down and its an endless cycle.
So, today while our car was being worked on, I strapped Mariska into her little stroller and we went and got breakfast and to Payless and a clothes store called Rainbow... I got 3 pairs of shoes, a pair of jeans and 3 shirts!! I'm really excited. I'm also going to go to Walmart and Target to see what they have and just get/keep the best stuff!!! But I'm so excited!! I really like some of the stuff I got (I didn't get all solids!! And 2 shoes even have bows!) Pictures will be posted as soon as it's all been tried on and I figure out what I'm keeping!!!

When you say, 'do a little waking up' - what exactly do you mean? Maybe 'it' could be considered exercise.
Classy, huh?
Oh my goodness... I need to change that sentence. I just mean, going to the bathroom, putting on our shoes and stretching!! Waking up and automatically doing weight training work outs isn't the easiest thing to do!
Yes, very classy! My goodness Amber!
Awesome, Amber! What's even more awesome is that I actually thought of the same thing when I read through that sentence! Either you need to change that sentence soon or we all need to get our heads out of the gutter!
Let's do both... it's at least nice to know I don't have as dirty of a mind as you two!!
And I don't get "it" in the morning, why would some one want to do that looking their worst?!
That'll be so nice. I agree, I think clothes help ya feel good or bad sometimes no matter what your weight. "the physical condition of the body can affect the spirit." That can mean so many things whether your heart healthy, or in the hospital sick.
Well I think ANY exercise is good. No matter what you eat, your body will thank you later on in life at least for the exercise. I just try to remember that maintenance is better than repair. (its hard to know what is baby & fat during pregnancy though).
Yeah I wanna see the shoes too. Oh & some Wal-mart clothes are okay, but they seem to fall apart really fast?!
Erika, my dearest, once you realize you CAN work out while Mariska is awake, it'll make it a lot friggin' easier and you won't have to wake up at 5!!
I want to see these clothes! The pictures of the shoes you emailed were REALLY cute! I wish I could wear "heals"...I would totally get some of those. Good job! I'm so proud you got shoes with bows.
If there's a Ross near you, you should hit it. I just went there yesterday and got two really cute dresses (the kind Stacy London would approve of) for $13 each!
You know what I found...once I lost a little weight and could by a smaller size, that motivated me to keep going and lose more. Just cuz you buy some clothes that fit you while you're "bigger" than you want to be, doesn't mean you'll get comfortable...it just means you'll feel more put together while you continue to work on yourself.
The end.
Lol, I was just thinking your blog today :) I thought, maybe I should be declaring my "start" on my diet would be good, hold me accountable!.. I sagree with the girls, feeling good about yourself helps the weightloss!.. plus there are allot of cute things out this time of year, have fun shopping!
I can work out while Mariska is awake... but it's A LOT harder! Our living room/playroom/office is way crowded!! Once we're in our house and she can play in her room I can do videos pretty easy... or go in the garage (with the door open) and use the eliptical we're going to get at some point, soon I hope!
