Looking for Commitment

As summer nears and I recover from child birth, my mind weighs with what I should be doing…but can’t quite find the motivation. Last year at this time, I was preparing for the CASA 8K and my Saturday mornings were spent on the road. Now, I spend my Saturday mornings sleeping in and most days are spent guzzling and engorging sugar and caffeine.

I will say nothing touching, funny, or even very interesting. This is my attempt to put it out there. I gained a lot of weight with Ms. Anna. I’ve lost thirty and have around twenty more pounds to go. I want to be healthy…I just can’t find the motivation.

I need to be held accountable. I need to be pushed. I need a deadline. Who is willing to help me? Whether you are or not…

I will make a commitment today…no more sodas or sweet tea and no more sweets…until I get control! That is hard to say for me because honestly, I don’t want to do it.

I am in the same boat :( But do I really have to give up the occasional small chocolate encouragement/sanity saver? Jonah has actually helped me a lot to cut out the junk food, since anytime I eat anything with flavor, cheese, milk, or spice or drink anything with caffeine or fizz he spits up continually on me and cries perpetually. (Colick and acid reflux aren't a good mix). Maybe we could run together on Saturdays? Just feed and then leave. That's how I've been able to get the occasional workout in. Daddy's need some bonding time anyway ;)

I had a hard time losing the weight with my last one. Green tea! It really seemed to help.

I did really well with P90X for awhile and then got busy. Let's figure out how we can hold each other accountable or maybe work a workout a week in together...
