Weekend Wrapup

So it's two days past the weekend but I figure better late than never.

What can I say about week 2? I jumped some hurdles- eating well, getting up almost every day, making up missed workouts...did I mention getting up almost every day?? I complain about that factor alot but it's the worst part of this whole thing. It's even worse than going without junk food! I know, that's pretty bad!

As it is, I hate being obligated to get up, drag myself to the shower, lather, rinse, repeat, put on makeup, goop products in my hair, blowdry, fix, primp, get the Lil Man ready....So many times I stand there going through the motions and think, 'why am doing this? Is it really necessary? One of these days I'm just going to roll out of bed and walk in to work. Let's stop this charade!' So when I have to get up extra early, work my butt off and THEN go through all of that, I really dread it. Don't get me wrong, I feel better when I'm finished. But GEEZ I hate waking up early.

So why don't I work out at night? you ask. I feel guilty enough as it is being away from Lil Man for 9 hours a day. I can't bring myself to spend another precious hour away from him in the evenings. Working out before work is my only option. Plus, I get an hour to myself that way.

I'm coming to terms with the fact that this is what it takes to get in shape. Notice I said in shape, not "get skinny". After I finished my workout on Saturday - Plyo - I felt great and fit. Exhausted completely, but fit. I said to Big Mo, "I want people to look at me and say, 'Man! She must lift weights!' instead of, 'Man, that girl is skinny!'" A wise person recently told me that I'm more than just a number and I have really taken that to heart. There's so much more that qualifies a person than the number on the scale. That's why I have made a strict No Scales Policy. My only guage of improvement will be how I feel about myself when this is over.



**BTW, took Friday completely off. I was so exhausted. I worked out both Saturday and Sunday to make up for it. So my "perfect attendance" record is still in tact!
