Back on the bandwagon . . .

Again! This time I'm determined to do at least the 30 days and see how I do. I have had the 30 day shred video for a while now but as most of you know we had an apartment fire and that kind of threw a monkey wrench into my whole diet and exercise program. We were staying with family and I was in charge of dealing with everything to do with the insurance and finding a new place to live and all that and I am a stress eater. Lately I've been feeling really crappy about how I've gained back a bit of weight and when I started to unpack clothes from the move and nothing fit I really had a hard time. I didn't think that 5 or 6 lbs made THAT big of a difference but it really did. So I'm starting over except this time I'm sticking with it. I plan to do the 30 day shred for the full 30 days (today being day 2). We also aquired a Kinect yesterday and I really want to try the Zumba Fitness game because it looks fun and challenging at the same time. I've heard the Dance Central game is really fun and a good workout too so I'm gonna use those to try a few new things, all the while doing the 30 day shred. I think my biggest challenge as of late is getting a good night's rest so that I have the right amount of energy to get moving in the morning. Corinne isn't exactly the greatest sleeper, she wakes at least two times a night to nurse, then Gavin is really sick right now with a cold of some sorts and was up a couple times last night. The stresses of being a mom *sighs*

I was talking about all this with a few friends yesterday about how hard it is some days to even get a shower, let alone get the motivation to get up early, do a workout and shower before the kids wake up. So instead I got myself up when Corinne woke up, threw on my workout gear so that I can't back out, fed her, got Rowan up (because he was awake and Gavin is still out because of  his cold), fed him and now I'm about to do my workout and have some breakfast. I'm sure I won't be as motivated as I am today every day but I can at least try and that's what matters. I need to stop putting me on the backburner because an unhappy mom means an unhappy family. Wish me luck! Back on the bandwagon for good hopefully!
