I NEED a trip to the gym!

Well, instead of sitting around eating junk all day, I really need to be hitting the gym. That seems an impossible request lately and I am lucky I still have my shower to do crazy calves in. :) I did 1/2 of a crazy calf workout and I felt nothing the next day. So much for being a slacker. I really gotta get more motivated to change my eating and workout habits. Of course, then I gotta find someone to watch my baby girl for me so I can actually go workout. Maybe come October I'll be able to get back into the swing of things. Unless anyone wants to come watch her today.........

Oh no, Poptarts...

Why did I let myself eat that Poptart for breakfast. I guess because I just couldn't see throwing away two perfectly good brown sugar & cinnamon Poptarts that my hubby left sitting on the counter when my daughter did not eat them last night. (wow, that was a long sentence!) Good news is, I only ate one! Of course, I did eat a couple of pieces of chocolate a few minutes ago so I don't know why I am fretting over the Poptart. Well, I'm off to pizza for lunch???? LOL

Sore calves!

I love those crazy calves!!! They get my legs every time. I've been in a little pain today walking around, but nothing unbearable. You know the saying, "no pain, no gain!" It's true.

I had a second workout last night. Miraculously enough, my old workout partner texted me yesterday wanting to workout. So, we met up and did legs last night. We were supposed to do shoulders today, but it is not looking too good for that. I haven't heard from him yet and it is almost 7:00. No big deal since I did shoulders yesterday. I would do them again though if it meant getting to workout with someone.

I did a little cardio this morning. My Ipod was dead when I started to head out for my walk, so I I cancelled my original walking plans and opted for walking around a little patio at the hospital and up 6 flights of stairs twice. Then I walked the halls until I saw the Dr. getting ready to head in our room. Overall, it was about 30 minutes or so. It was better than nothing and I'm happy I did it.

Now if I can just stay away from the sugar cookies calling my name. I've already eaten about half of one. The other half is staring me down. I will probably cave. Man, where is my willpower?? Must be the fact that my hubby said my butt was looking good today shutting it down. All those cookies I've been eating sure haven't hurt it. Wish I could say the same for my legs....

It's been a while

I haven't really been hitting the gym too much over the past few months. I figured it would be that way though. Now I am lucky if I get to go to the gym once or twice a week. This morning I had a decent shoulder workout. Nothing too special because I didn't have much time. I also added in a few biceps and one chest exercise since I am on a workout budget. :) Then I did my shower version of "crazy calves" just a few minutes ago.

It feels good to go to the gym and I hope I am able to start going more, but it all depends. I think my workout partner who bailed on me 6 months ago is going to start back. I won't hold my breath though. If I did that, I'd already be dead. :)

Cardio is definitely lacking too. I am lucky to do it once every other week. Yikes!

The back of my legs are really hating me right now, but my lips sure are loving the cookies. I think I may be on my way back towards some sort of control in the eating department. But, only if occasional cookie splurges are allowed. I just can't eat them EVERY DAY like I have been for the past month or two. Oh the pleasure I can get from butter, flour and chocolate!!!
