Day 14

Well, this week didn't go as well as I had hoped. Things were crazy in the evenings and I didn't get to the gym as often as I would have liked. But, I'm not giving up. I went today & I promise this week will be better. I could tell I was losing ground during my workout. Things were harder than they should've been. I made it through the workout, but I can't say it was a great workout. I also weight 229.0 lbs. But, this week I won't have any excuses to miss the gym. My evenings are free & I won't let work interfere with my personal goals. Anyway, that's about all I have to say about that. I am really looking forward to our trip to Wyoming. I pray the weather is nice.

Day 13

Its a good thing I keep this blog, otherwise I won't be able to keep track of what day I'm on. So, today was better at work. I had to do alot of mental preparation (mind relaxation & self-talk techniques) to get through the day. I have seriously been freaking out about work stuff, and I'm trying to calm down about it. I think this also helps me get to the gym. I was able to get a treadmill, even though it was really busy. Exercising went really well. I upped my speed like I talked about before, even though it was a little harder. I think I'll need to give myself a couple of days at this speed to get used to it. I still weigh 229.7 lbs. I think teaching an extra class is good for one thing. When I only have 20 min. to eat lunch, I definately eat less. So, I need to work out on either Tues or Wed and again on Friday & Saturday. If I can exercise at least 3 days this week, I will be happy. I'm also excited that Megan, my sister, has decided to run the 5k race with me. It will be more fun to have people there. I guess we will need to register soon & make it official!
