Inconsistant =C

I really haven't worked out other than the one day earlier this week. My mom has been here and I hate having to workout while she's here because I feel like even if she can't see me, she can use echo location to make a picture of what I may be doing! I'm just kidding my mom doesn't have echo location!


I really need to get a lot of things straight if I plan on taking control of my life and turning it into what I want to it be. I really hate some things in life that surround me, and it's up to me to make the best of them and make a change. I have control over what I eat, when I workout, how hard I workout and how my family is affected by my lifestyle change. I hate people who are in denial about what they need to do health-wise, people who can't take control of habits and people who overall can't control themselves.
I sometimes feel like I am steering myself in the wrong direction when I go to take my kids to McDonald's, decide to eat a pizza instead of something healthier or most of all when I let myself find time to NOT workout. I enjoy being able to make good food that is also good for you. I enjoy being able to get a quick but effective workout in and raise my energy level and my mood just by doing something that also makes me physically stronger. So why don't we do that all the time if it makes us feel good to do all the great things on this list? That is an answer I can't find within myself. Otherwise, I would do it all the time and not worry about anything else.

I plan on being in better shape by summer time. Not because I want to be able to wear a bikini again, although that would be nice, but because it will allow me enough time to get to my goal in a healthy way. I would love to say that if I could drop all the weight in my life that I don't need in one night I would do it instantly but I know that for overall health those methods that provide those sorts of results aren't worth it. Now, if there was a magical pill that guaranteed that my health would improve and my body would function better and my weight would stay at the most healthy and appealing shape for my body, I would jump on that like a cheetah on a gazelle!!! But I know that it isn't realistic to think that way because there is no magic way to do anything like that. Only with hardwork will you reap the rewards you are after! It's the truth and anyone who believes that if you just "think" you will be thin one day will be extremely disappointed when they end their life in worse shape then when they first started believing it was all by thought!

So wish me luck in my attempt to start over on my 30 Days with Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. I really love the DVD and want to be at the point where I can get off the first section! I've tried Level 2 one day and it was so much fun but when my shin splint came back like Micahel Myers I knew that to heal it would take time and taking that much time off would mean I'd have to start over. It's discouraging but I guess that means it's a bump in my road and I have to just keep going?! Will do then.
