Nope, no gym or workout yesterday. I've been eating pretty well, but not moving my body. My weight dropped a lb, but I still feel the same. I got on the scale when I went to the gym on Saturday. I weigh 138 now. 3 more lbs to lose to get to pre-pregnancy weight!
But I'm having some motivation problems.
I used to be all like, "Let's do this! I'm going to work out and eat right and blah blah blah!" Yeah. Right. I only worked out two times last week. My eating, like I said, has still been pretty healthy. I barely drink any water, and this weekend I drank alcohol. (Tried that Redd's Apple Ale, which was pretty darn yummy! and I drank 4 bottles of it) I also had pizza that night we drank. 1 slice though. But that slice alone was 350 calories of pure carbs and fat. No bueno.
Bottom line? My motivation is lagging.
It's just that.. I count on the gym too much. I love the gym. It's my place to be free and not have to worry about getting a quick workout in before Caleb wakes up. It's free access to weights and machines. I just love weights. Hate cardio. When I work out at home with body weight exercises, the stability ball.. I don't feel like I'm working hard enough. Since I'm at home, I just feel like I half ass everything. I only have a pair of 12 lb dumbbells, and that's too heavy for some workouts and too light for others. If I could go to the gym 5 days a week, I totally would.. but we don't have a babysitter and we don't trust the daycare at the gym. My husband used to come home from work pretty early, enough where I have time to go to the gym, come home and still cook dinner. Lately though, he's been getting off work late, and by that time it's already time to cook dinner soon and I really don't want to drive in traffic for an hour to get to the gym, take another hour/hour and 30 min to work out, then drive back home and by that time it's already bedtime. No. Doesn't work for me. I know, no excuses.. but lately, I've been thinking of every excuse in the book to not workout at home. (Oh, I gotta update my resume. Oh, I gotta apply for jobs. Oh, I can't cuz Caleb's naps are too short. Well, they ARE pretty short though.. 30 min. isn't enough for a workout.) So yeah..
The way I see it, I have two options at this point. I can maintain where I am for a while, or I can find the motivation and keep going. I have to find that motivation.
Hopefully when we move back to Vegas, I'll be able to have some babysitters for me so I can hit the gym more often. Cannot wait!
Love,
Tiare
