I'm writing this at about 10:15pm, after a long day of busy schedules and hectic appointments. I did, however manage to get in a workout with my hubby, while my kids ran around and played under our feet. It was long and hard and I haven't sweat that much in awhile. First I ran about 15mins, which sucked. But I felt really good after I finished. Then we went into the garage to lift some weights and more. I am really tired but it feels really good. I realized today that I am really weak (weight wise), and I have a long way to go before I can even come close to my goal. I'd much rather have sat on the couch or have taken a nap when my kids did but I really want to loose weight. I remember when I was younger, that working out used to be a nice quiet, relaxing time, now not so much. I'd like to get back to that. Today's workout was really hard and hopefully they will get easier as I get back into shape. I did the following:
Warm up ran for 20 mins
Lifted Weights 20mins
Alternated between weighted swings and pushups
It seems a little harder these days to loose weight and working out seems to take more out of me. Keeping up with the kids all day and doing other things like going to school don't really help.
Now sitting here sipping my red wine, I'm feeling pretty good about all the pain I felt today. So I'm going to bed and I will do more tomorrow. You have to start somewhere, even if it hurts. I'm sure that most days I will run with the kids in the stroller, but that's what I'm gonna do to get back in shape and feel good about myself. Till then...
