You can do it!

This is what I tell myself so that I get through my exercise time every few days. It all begins with talking myself into wanting to go. I go back and forth for about 15 minutes thinking up all sorts of excuses. Then I remember that none of my clothes fit and it would be a HUGE waste to have to get rid of them just because I was too lazy to exercise. So, I get on my workout gear and head out the door.

First I have to push past the pain. Then comes the fatigue. Finally, if I can make myself go long enough I get to that point where exercise feel pretty good. When I am back at home I feel so good about going and wished I had another 30 minutes to do more. However, mommy duty calls and I feel lucky that I even had the opportunity to go.

I do get frustrated because the results are slow in coming. It seems like after Sarah was born I got back to my old size a little faster. Of course I could be remembering things a little differently than they really happened. Either way it's going to take alot of working out and eating less to get the job done.

I wish I could look at myself through the eyes of my daughter. She says I'm pretty and truly believes it. When I look in the mirror I see all that I think needs improvement. I think I need a different mirror:)
