Today

I think spring may actually be rolling in around here, and I think the sunshine is doing me some good! On the way home from dropping my older 2 at school this morning I made a very impromptu decision to stop at a park and let the little ones play. We were there for over an hour. It was great! My 2 year old begs and cries not to go home after we leave the school in the mornings, and I think he's been feeling really cooped up. As we were playing, I kept noticing my shadow. It was huge. I just really can't believe how big I've gotten again in the last couple of months.

We came home, I fed the kids and put them down for naps. Then, I walked to my room, and put on......work out clothes! I'm not kidding!! But, before coming down to work out, I forced myself to step on the scale. 203 this morning. This is it. I have to do this now. I did 240 reps on the AB Lounge, and 20 minutes (hard and fast!) on the elliptical. Yep, I actually got ON that damn elliptical. I did it, I did it!! And honestly, it feels great! I actually do love to work out! I love how I feel afterwards, I love knowing that I'm taking care of myself; but somehow I always forget that feeling. When I'm not working out regularly, then I see working out as a pain in the ass, too much effort, time consuming, blah, blah, blah. But it's really NOT that bad when you actually just do it. Now the trick will be to keep at it. One day doesn't really count for anything if I don't keep doing it. But, TODAY I did it. TODAY I made the effort. TODAY I can feel good about myself and my choices. TODAY is a good day.
