I'm glad this week is over! I really didn't realize how much I rely on my exercise to help with my weight loss. In fact, I ended up gaining .4 this week and I'm quite sure it is due to lack of exercise. Luckily the gym opens tomorrow and I can get back in the swing of things.
I don't know what happened though. I used to be highly motivated to exercise on my own. I own more Richard Simmons, Tae Bo, Biggest Loser, Booty Sculpt, Walk Away The Pounds exercise videos than I care to count! And I used to do them... religiously! Now, not so much. When I did them before, it was pre-children. It wasn't a big deal to get up early in the morning to work out because no one had woken me up the night before. And, once I got started, I didn't have to stop every three minutes to settle an argument, get someone a drink of water, or anything else in the long list of things that moms have to do. It was much easier to carve out that time for myself.
Now, the gym is kind of like a reward for me. I enjoy my time there because that's exactly what it is... MY time. There are no kids allowed. I can do my workout without interruptions. I get to focus on myself. I don't have to worry about tripping over a child, or a dog, or a toy. I can't wait to get back.
