Great....Life Gets in the Way Again

Great....Life Gets in the Way of working out again. A friend and I are starting P90X Classic Version today and I vowed that I  would wake up at 5 am to be sure that I get my workouts in everyday. Well Day 1 and already I am off schedule so at 5 am instead of sweating and doing P90X I was caring for my sick little girl.

So why am I telling you this???? Because life does get in the way of keeping any schedule but it is up to you to fit it in. Instead of saying "I will do it tomorrow" which turns into the next day, which turns into the next....then the next thing you know it is almost the weekend and for some reason you can not start a diet on a Saturday so you think that I will start fresh again on Monday. So do not wait until after the holidays or after the next party....START TODAY!!! Because the longer you wait the more weight you can gain and the harder it will be to get moving.

So yes.....Life did get in the way but I will get my workout in!!! I will not let myself nor my friend down. We are starting P90X Classic Version today NO MATTER WHAT OBSTICAL TRIES TO STOP ME.
POSITIVE THOUGHTS=POSITIVE RESULTS

Why is it so hard to get back on track???

You workout 6 days a week for months then get sick, or vacation, or something in life throws you off track so you think to yourself "No problem I will get back on track next week or tomorrow..." but then that day comes and it is so hard to get back on track and get refocused....but why???? Why is it so hard??? You know when you workout that you feel great, you have more energy, you are toned up and just feel good; so what is it that stops you from pushing forward???

I guess I ask because I want this question answered so I can get back on track. I still get in about 3-4 workouts a week but that is not good enough and I want to get back on track to 6 days a week. Let's be honest...you work so hard to get your results so you slack off a little and the next thing you notice is that you are gaining weight....WHAT?!?!? I worked so hard to get the weight off why does it come back on so easy!!!

There just are not enough hours in the day to get in everything that needs to get done so for me I need to make additional time to get in my workouts...aka get uo before the kids. I want to/need to wake up at 5 am but I shut the alarm clock off everyday and rollover and fall back to sleep...I hate that I keep doing it and every few days I resolve that tomorrow will be the day that I start my "Routine" again then I hit snooze and my plan fails again.

So if there is a magic button to press to get me to refocus please send it to me. But, in the meantime I am still drinking my Shakeology everyday and I will try again tomorrow. A friend told me that it takes 21 days to make something into a routine...21 days!?!?! I can not ever get 5 days in a row nevermind 21!!!

So tomorrow is another day to shoot for 5am but I will get a workout in today (with Benjamin playing around me which equals a half of workout) and I commit to making healthy food choices and accepting me for the person I am today minus the abs:)
