I have no freaking energy. I'm not sure if it's because I get 4 hours of sleep each night or that there are other issues. However, due to this lack of energy I feel that exercise is a chore...not something I want or need to do...something that I have to do and I don't like it.
I've realized that I am entirely to hard on myself. I have these ideas of being the perfect bandster. Making sure I lose the weight quick and I'm down fast and stay down. Well guess what? That ain't happening. LOL
I'm not perfect...I need to except that. I also need to except that I have 3 darn toddlers and it's OK to be tired and want to go to bed early. It's okay.
I also realized that I set myself up for failure more times than not. I believe I set the bar to high for myself. Well no more. I'm going to do what I can...and if that is less than the next person...it's okay.
Here are my goals for the week:
- Work out 3 maybe 4 days this week. Exercise days are Thursday thru Sunday. I'm too dang tired the rest of the week to do anything.
- Eat 3 full meals each day. This never happens for me. I eat lunch...sometime I eat dinner (not on a regular).
- Drink 100 oz of water everyday. Yup...I will met this goal...I have fallen short the last couple of weeks...but no more.
- Go to bed before midnight. I know...that sounds easy. Nope...not for me. I don't usually go to bed to closer to 1 a.m. Not this week. I will get some rest this week!!
- Relax. I will live in a stress free place mentally this week. I will not let outside influences determine my self-worth. I have allowed others to infiltrate my shell. No longer!! I am going back to the Dawnya who fights for what she wants. That girl...does not give a flying booger about what others think. Yup...she is coming back...strong and fierce!!
It's a new day ladies...we determine our destiny!!!

Stay strong and you're right, you ARE too hard on yourself. You are doing awesome and I adore you...oh and I wrote about you in my blog today! :)
YOU GO GIRL!!! Refocusing is a good thing and kudos for recognizing that you are being too hard on yourself. I know you're gonna kill it this week!!!
You are too hard on yourself. You have three young children and that is exercise in itself, girlfriend.
you can do it!!!
You are amazing that you are doing this all on your own right now!
This is what I like to see, I'm recommitting this week, too! We can keep each other honest! :)
And I didn't see a text, what'd it say? lol
I love the Refocus idea! I do think you're too hard on yourself. I only have 2 kids (and one isn't a toddler anymore) and I'm in bed by 9 every night, absolutely exhausted. Give yourself some credit.
You can do it! Take it one day at a time.
OMG. Is there really a perfect bandster. Tell me who she is so I can beat her up. It's called life. And we all need to recommit sometimes. Except for that perfect bitch bandster. (I don't really like her though). I like all you guys much much better.
Wow, and I thought I was sleep deprived. So sorry that you fall asleep so late. I know how rough it is.
Go get 'em Hot Mama!!! You can meet all those goals and more!!
Great goals! You can do it! None of us are perfect and like you said we can't compare ourselves to someone else, but do what is best for us.
