It's been awhile...

I stopped posting.  I started to feel discontent with blogging.  Then I realized...I started this blog for ME!!!!!  This is my blog and my thoughts.  I can stop reading other blogs today if I want (I don't by the way).  I need to write for me.  So here goes.

My weight was up from my lowest...but it is back down.  The last month has not consisted of enough exercise and lots of crap eating.  During the last weeks of January and the early weeks of February my job is in training mode.  During that time I'm required to work positions that are not my own...this means shift work...shift work for me means milkshakes, chips, onion rings...etc.  A WHOLE LOT OF CRAP!!!

So this week I'm back to normal...at least I thought.  Until I realized I agreed to faciliate a 3 day training course in Austin.  Ugh...nowhere to store food....or warm up food.  The place that has the trainign won't allow you to bring outside food into the facility as they have their own restaurant.  Frustrating!!  I can control breakfast, dinner and snacks...lunch is up in the air. 

This weekend I get to meet up with some Texas BOOBS!!  I'm super excited.

I've done 2 Bodypump classes.  It's okay...I'm not sure what the big deal is...but I will keep going back.  Now I need to find another way to get in cardio.  I'm not longer going to my Go-Go Cardio class because I just can't afford it right now.  I pay $25 a month for the gym...paying an addition $15 per class or a $110 for two months just to attend Go-Go Cardio is soooo not in my nonexistent budget right now.  I miss it though.

It is starting to get warm here in Austin...I can start running again....I hope.  LOL

So what have you lovelies been up to?

BTW...I'm reading your post...not commenting much...but I'm reading.

As the other gals have said, this blog is for you and what you need to reflect on each day. We're here to lend comment to what you have said, but the content is all you baby cakes!! Keep up the great work.

I get the frustration of being out of your environment but just control the food you can control and make sure you're getting plenty of lean proteins during those times. When you cannot control the food, just make the best possible choice from what is offered. *hearts*

Been waiting to hear from you! So glad you're back. :) Make good choices babe and you'll be fine. ((hugs))

Do you like Zumba? It's a dance inspired aerobic workout. It features latin and other world music. Tons of fun! But classes can range from 3 to 10 dollars depending on the location and instructor. Many will let you just drop in....whenever you want...No commitment. You find a location on zumba.com.

I missed you around here! Glad you are back. Maybe you can plan on doing a protein drink for lunch with some fruit? This will give you a good boost of protein in the middle of the day.

I know for me when life is hectic I can slack on the blogging but in the end that means I'm neglecting myself.

I'm happy you decided to do it for yourself today.

It really does help with accountability.

I miss your blogging! You SO inspired me with your exercise and juggling that with work and your kids. Sometimes we need to scale back our blog reading to only those who we care about and leave the rest alone and if this means I lose some followers in the process...so be it. :)

Manda said...

We all have our office moments when things get busy. But like someone above said... the blogging brings us back to OURSELF again. That really hits me because I need it to stay accountable.

Your right with the weather getting warmer here. 80 degrees today! What the? Lol. I am going to go walking and help my daughter with practicing her softball skills now that she's signed up for that. Yay! I like it when its this kind of warm, it just scares me that it will be 110 come May until October. Haha...

Have fun with the other Boobs! I know you all will. :)

I always love reading your blog because I feel like I identify with so much of what you write. I have a journalistic approach to my blog as well and find it's a great place to just vent off some feelings. I hope my words reach someone the way your words reach me. Keep at it lady.
