Blog Prompts from SparkPeople

Since I have a hard time finding things to write about (or unsure how to write about it), I figured I would use SparkPeople’s “Blog Prompts” to help me along. I started to lose weight in January this year and lost interest pretty fast as it started as a new year’s resolution. Since then, I’ve joined SparkPeople (Blueyedsurfer for those who would like to join me) and have made a bit more progress in my quest. At the very least, I am more aware of what I am doing (or not doing) and what goes into my body. This year I’ve lost 10lbs. Though it’s not much, at least I can say I’m not gaining. You’ll see why I haven’t lost more in just a minute.

How do you find ways to fit exercise into your busy schedule?

To be honest, I usually don’t fit it in. If I do muster up the energy to push play on my DVD player, I end up feeling proud enough of my accomplishment that it lasts through the week. Today was one of those days, though I’m planning to continue my workouts and work through this plateau. The only way I can manage to fit it in is if I can get up before Shaun does. Doing my exercises first thing in the morning is probably the easiest way of doing it (although it feels like the hardest at the time) and if I talk myself into putting it off till baby boy takes a nap, I usually don’t feel like doing it then. Thus, the day is wasted. It’s a good thing I’ve got Yoda in my head saying, “Do or do not. There is no try.” Hopefully, he’ll be back in my head first thing tomorrow morning.
