40 Days
I have 40 days until we move to Jacksonville, North Carolina. 40 days to really meet at least one goal in my weight loss battle.
I am going to focus on eating right and having a treat once a week.
My breakfasts will be oatmeal and protein powder. I choose this because of the protein content and because I LOVE it. Also, the fiber is awesome.
Lunch will be a green salad with balsamic dressing, adding some sort of bean to my salad will increase protein and fiber levels.
Snack will be piece of fruit, whatever we pick up from Trader Joe's
Dinner will be a salad and 4 0z of some sort of protein.
Sweet snack for my crazy sweet cravings will be either sugar-free jello, or a 60 cal pudding snack.
Exercise-running. I need to be preparing for the run on August 7th! I still want to do the 5K but I don't want to be horribly slow, so I need to get out everyday and walk, jog, or run.
Also, YMCA time- going swimming, lifting weights, spin class, etc. I need to use the time I have to utilize the things available to me. When I move to J-ville I will no longer have childcare available to me to go workout. So I need to start loving running and quick because it is going to be my only consistent option for a while.
Blogging everyday for the 40 days.
Weighing in everyday for the next 40 days to keep me on track. Today's weight 215, yep I went up. POOP

Paralyzed
That is how I feel right now, Paralyzed. There is alot of change currently happening and will until around October and it makes me feel completely PARALYZED.
I haven't kept to my goals, I haven't been here to update my blog or my family blog. Today I was asking myself why I feel so unmotivated to do anything because I have the same amount of time. I feel like it is because I am not very flexible. If things don't go how I see them or as planned out, then I completely stop. Now sometimes I am able to roll with the punches but it just depends on the circumstances. I need to roll with it.
Here it is the middle of JULY and I am not any closer to my JUNE goal of getting out of the 200's. I haven't been able to get back on track since I went off at vacation. Now I am feeling extremely depressed about it. I don't like being this large. I don't feel comfortable in my own skin. I don't like how clothes fit me. I don't like being asked if I am pregnant (even with a 4 month old in my arms, someone still asked me this question). I try not to let it bother me, but it does and it hurts.
I love to workout, but I don't. And of course I have excuses, but all that doesn't make me feel better. Honestly sometimes I feel so drained and tired that by the time I get the kids to bed, I don't want to plan or think about what I should be doing or need to do. I just want to sit and reset. I know that life doesn't get any easier and kids only get more needy and involved, so I need to learn how to deal with it and get going, otherwise this feeling of paralysis will only get worse.
I am feeling overwhelmed also. There is so much I want to improve on and I can always be better. Better me, wife, mom, leader, teacher, etc always room for improvement.

Work Outs day 2 & 3
Yesterday I did an hour spin class, holy moly my legs felt that for sure, especially after the squats from the previous day.
Today was workout B of NROLW
Deadlifts bar+10#/12, 15#/12, 15#/12
superset
dumbbell shoulder press 10/12, 15/12, 20/12
wide grip lat pulldown 50/12, 55/12, 60/12
superset
lunges 10/12, 15/12, 15/12
swiss ball crunches 10, 10, 10
After my workout my whole body was shaking. I pushed myself hard today. Playing with the kids today was hard because my muscles were so fatigued.
I am making sure to take a protein recovery drink after lifting days. I have found a really yummy mixture that I look forward to.
Tomorrow I will take off and just do something active with the family and Sunday will be a recovery day with walking with the family.

Unmotivated
I have every tool possible to achieve success with my weight, except the one you Have to Have, SELF CONTROL.
I continue to self sabotage and now I have lost my motivation to go downstairs and do my workout. I know that the program works and that all I have to do is do it. I know what I should be eating and not eating, yet all I do is eat what I shouldn't. I have goals, but I don't do the things to meet them. What is causing me to be like this?
Waking up early to workout is not happening! No matter what I plan or anything, I am just to tired in the morning to get up any earlier.
I know that if I just focus on my diet then I don't have to worry so much about my workouts. As easy as that sounds, it's not.
This is my constant battle, I hope one day I can find some sort of balance and happiness, but for now it is still my battle.
