WE CAN DO IT!!!!!

I just read your blog, and your comment to mine... and my feeling now is WE CAN DO IT! We need to stay motivated and (I know this sounds corny but) keep our eyes on the prize! (The prize being healthy bodies that we can't get enough of).

I was feeling so great last week when I was working out everyday and eating great. I was in such a good mood all day, I had energy, and I got a lot done. I was more organized and everything was pretty much just the way I like it. Then all this rain happened (it's literally been raining since last Friday) and I found it really appealing to not do anything. Not log my food, not work out, not clean my room, not make my bed, not spend much time getting ready in the morning... I want to attribute this to being exhausted but I just don't think thats true. I want to say the weather is keeping me inside but thats not true either. This is the first (and I'm sure it won't be the last) obstacle I NEED to overcome to achieve my goals.

I think a solution to this plan is to make plans. Before I go to bed the night before I need to make my workout plan for the next day. What will I be doing throughout the day, set an alarm to remind me to not be lazy and do what I planned, and then DO IT!!!!!! I have found when I made plans the  night before I was more likely to carry them out than if I was figuring things out as the day went on.

With that being said, here is my plan for tomorrow: There are no classes at the gym that I feel like taking...  and it's raining outside (I HATE running on the treadmill). I am setting my alarm for 6:30 am. I need to be home and in the shower by 7:30 so that gives me an hour to get in 4 miles. I ran in the rain last week and I can do it again! Going to work last week I saw someone doing it and it made me feel like I was making excuses for myself... so rain, please take it easy on me tomorrow morning!!!!!!! Wish me luck (I think I will need it!)

Coming tomorrow: update on my workout AND a food diary entry :) Goodnight!
