Welcome to my blog! Mike and I were married on July 22, 2006 in Erie, PA. Although we're not technically considered newlyweds anymore, we still feel like we are! We live in a house we rent from my MIL with our dog, a pap-a-poo mix, Louis (pronounced "Louie") who is our pride and joy. I'm finishing up school full time to get my BA in finance while working full-time in a financial aid office and Mike is currently a technician for a national aerospace corporation. While we lead fairly boring lives, I'll try to spice things up from time to time to make the blog more exciting to read :)

New school year, new routine...here I come!

Posted Wednesday, August 27, 2008 8:53 AM

I've been feeling very self-concious lately about my weight. I'm am at the heaviest I've ever been, nothing fits right, and it's very depressing. Clothes shopping has literally become a nightmare. I made the mistake of looking at old pictures yesturday from 2005 and now I feel even more depressed. I was about 10-15 lbs. lighter back then. Ahhh...the joys of being married to a man who loves junk food...

While I've really been trying hard to eat healthier over the past several months, my schedule makes it extremely difficult to work out. Even when I occasionally have the time, I'm so exhausted that the last thing I feel like doing is getting off of my big butt to do it. All of the household projects have kept me from vegging out on the couch lately when I get home from work which has been great, but starting next week I'll be back into classes and will spend the majority of the day sitting on my butt once again.

I've attempted to stick to a workout schedule in the past (see earlier blog entries) and have failed miserably; mostly because I've let other priorities get in the way when I'm in a time crunch. The only solution I can devise is that I need to start forcing myself to get up and workout in the morning. The problem is, I am NOT a morning person. I repeat, I am NOT a morning person. I have no clue how I'm going to do this, but somehow, I have to. Starting next Tuesday (since Monday is a holiday) when my classes start for the year and I'm going to have to shuffle my daily schedule around regardless, I'm going to put my plan into action. Luckily we have a home gym in our basement so it's not like I'll even have to get in my car and drive to the gym.

I am in desperate need of some motivation ladies and some good workout tunes to get me going in the morning. All suggestions are welcome!

PS. As of this morning, the hot tub is finally up to 90 degrees and the chemicals have been added. I know what my plans are for tonight! Cool

And so I say again.... SUPER jealous of your hot tub!!!!!!!  It will be awhile before we can get ours.  Think of me while your relaxing in it tonight!  These are the best nights for it too because it's when it starts to really cool down at night.

My fav "get me moving" song right now is Just Dance- Lady Gaga (I know it's cheesy, but it's catchy with a good beat).

I'm in the same boat...I've gained 15 ounds since our wedding.  Six. Months. Ago.  So, I've started getting up at 5:00 a.m. to workout.  It completely stinks when I wake up and want to turn the alarm off and go back to sleep (like I did this morning, bad example I know), but I feel so good after working out that it's totally worth it!  Good luck and enjoy the hot tub, my DH loves ours!

I could have written this exact post just increase 15 lbs to 30lbs and leave out the going back to stuff and the hot tub part.   I also made mistake of looking at old pics.  I have decided that before I get caught up doing anything once I get home from work I'll exercise then for at least 30 mins. and then do all the other stuff that has to be done.  Give that a try and take advantage of any time you can get some form of exercise in.  

Good luck.

I have the same problem.  I have started doing Exercise TV workouts 2x a week in the morning.  At first I wanted to do it every day, but who was I kidding??  I am also not a morning person.  The workouts are short 20-30 minutes and it makes me want to eat healthier during the day.
