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!
