Day 8

I succesfully started my workout routine. It was not much of one but I have to start somewhere. Yesterday I ran for twenty minutes. The weather was nice and I actually enjoyed it.

I have encountered one problem. I can't work out until 8 because I have to cook dinner and spend time with my family. When I go and work out at 8 oclock I come back home and I am full of energy. I can not be full of energy at 8 pm because I need to be asleepy by 10 pm.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fit working out into my schedule? please do not suggest for me to run at 5 AM because I am not a morning person.

I am starting to see small results,n and that makes me happy.

The Slim Fast drinks are kind of driving me crazy because while I sit here I want to munch on something but this will pass.

I am loving the motivation from my family and friends.

GOAL SETTING

DAY 7

I have set many goals for myself in life and I would say 8 out of 10 times I have achieved them. I am very happy with my life but I am always trying to find new ways to improve the quality of it.

For the next 90 days I will be blogging about something I am constantly thinking about but never really talk about...... WEIGHT LOSS.

In my life I have focused on a number of things My Family, My friendships, and my career and when it comes to these things my life is at an absolute high point, but my health has defintly taken a backseat to all of these things.

Weight is something I have battled since I was a little girl but luckily for a big part of my life I was able to keep most of it off.

When I began my career I started to sit on my laptop for hours on end and the pounds started to multiply.

The same thing happened after I had my daughter I just quit being active.

Since my pre- pregnancy body I have gained 50 pounds and I vow to lose this weight.

This problem has gotten bigger than I can handle. It is not about wearing my skinnny keans ( which I hope to wear again) but it is about running with my daughter. The purpose in having kids young is so that you can keep up with them and I can not.

Last week I began the dieting portion. I stopped drinking sodas, and switched to crystal light. I assumb this is why I dropped 8 pounds instantly....

I will continue on the diet and this week I will start exercising daily.

The evenings and weekends are the toughest as I enjoy a nice glass of wine and even that has to be cut out.....

Please Join me and watch me as I reach this goal. I will be blogging about this and any helpful tips you have for me will be appreciated.
