I'm a new Mom working to lose the baby weight. My goal was to be back in pre-baby shape by my son's first birthday September 7. That may not happen. Since February, I've started trying to get back in shape and have hit a few road blocks (yeah, any lame excuse I could come up with!), but I'm back on the road again and doing great! It's July 20th today and it's week 4, I have gotten up off my butt

I'm a new Mom working to lose the baby weight. My goal was to be back in pre-baby shape by my son's first birthday September 7. That may not happen. Since February, I've started trying to get back in shape and have hit a few road blocks (yeah, any lame excuse I could come up with!), but I'm back on the road again and doing great! It's July 20th today and it's week 4, I have gotten up off my butt and pushed play for a month! I did miss a few days though! :/ I've lost inches, I've lost weight, my clothes are more comfortable and I feel good!
So, even though my original goal may not be realized because I slacked off, I'm still doing great and I will have reached my goal by December.

I've had to do a lot of digging to discover why I was sabatoging myself. It's funny how one part of you says, 'Yes! I'm ready to kick butt and lose weight!' while your unconsicous mind totally disagrees and trips you up every dang time!!! I've had to admit to myself that I didn't really want to lose weight. I didn't want to do any sort of work at all. I just wanted what I wanted right then and there and when I didn't get what I wanted fast enough, I quit. Sheesh, I could've just gotted lypo-suction or something. But that wasn't what I truly wanted. I've had to douse my fears, my insecurities, my feelings of failure, low self-worth and I had to figure out what I really wanted, who I really was.

I've learned that all parts of me have to be in sync for my goals to be reached. I've got to have the great diet, I've got to have my whole body, mind and soul dedicated to living my life the way I truly want to live:
I want to be strong, I want to be healthy, I want to be active, I want to believe and trust in myself. I want to KNOW that I can do it.

UPDATE: Today is September 9th, 2009. I got sick mid July and took a break, and never got back on my horse. So here I am again, I'm just gonna keep on keepin' on. It's day 3 of P90X Classic. I've got a new workout schedule, 3pm M-F and roughly 9am Sa-Su, my son is with his sitter and my husband is at work, so no interruptions. I've moved my workout space to a room that only I use, so visitors can't interrupt my flow. My only issue is food, I can't seem to eat enough. Well, I guess that'll be a work in progress.
