a bump in the road, not the end of the road
I have fallen off the workout bandwagon :( I am honestly not even surprised, becasue this is my noraml M.O. The newness has worn off a bit and I am not as motivated as I once was. Since my son got his first set of immunizations (2 months) this week, I have not have the energy (or the desire) to workout. He was cranky, lost his appetite and very lethargic. He was not his usually smiley self. I have been vigilantly taking care of him, making sure he didn't get a fever and ate enough and spent many hours comforting him while he screamed incenstantly. He kept me up all night, causing me to want to sleep during the day and therefore I haven't worked much on my business ideas or my weight goals. I have however, done great with my eating habits. I resisted the temptation several times to eat sweets, junk food, and soda so I have at least one achievement to be proud of this week. I also set up a dinner date with a friend to bounce some business ideas around, so the week was mildly productive. I'ts the weekend now and I have a few things to do Saturday, so I won't be able to go to the gym, but Sunday starts a new week and renewed commitment! What's important to me this time, is getting back up when I fall. In the past, missing a day or two has caused me to outright quit. This time, I want those missed workouts to just be bumps in the road, not the end of the road. I promised myself, my husband and my son that I would make lifestyle changes and I taking it one day at a time...

Good read. This is motivation for me to keep celebrating the small victories too, because even the small things like drinking more water and cutting out junk food are sometimes hard for me. But at least I'm on the right track and so are you :-) Thanks for sharing!
