Last night I did not shred :(
I missed it too, turns out I guess I like the workout.
I was solo parenting and after getting home (6:00) getting the monkey fed (6:30) bathed (7:00) and to sleep (8:00) I was DONE for the day. After 14 hours of hustle I just don't have it in me to workout.
My plan has been to shred while hubs is giving the monkey a bath, but that is not going to work out so well if I am solo for the night. I would love to say that I will get up earlier on those days and shred in the AM, but I already get up at 6:00am.
Clearly I need to think about this.
Thankfully I do not solo parent often, so maybe it won't be the biggest problem....
Today, Weight Watchers meeting!

Please Shrink Me
I am a woman, a mom, a wife, a professional, a daughter, a sister (x2) a friend, a colleague and I am fat! I am tired of being fat. I sometimes tell myself that I am not fat, just pleasantly plump.....Rubenesque. But that is simply not true and it is time to acknowledge that I am obese. It happened so slowly that I am not ever sure how it happened. I was a fine size 10 when I started grad school in 1997. Then grad school got very very hard and depressing and I ate and ate and ate.
At my wedding in 2004 I was a size 14-16, but happy! During the miscarriage years 2004 and 2005 I would lose 10 pounds after each miscarriage due to loss of interest in food and manic exercise. Then I would feel sorry for myself and gain 15 pounds back until I got pregnant again. That cycle went around three times and I ended it at a size 18 (where I still am today).
When I got pregnant with my now daughter in 2006 I basically stopped moving. I was so afraid of losing the pregnancy that I was a LUMP.
Thankfully I only gained 35 pounds with the pregnancy, but when you start at 200 that is 35 too many!
The past two years since having my daughter I have moved to a different state, started a new job, and nursed my husband's psyche through a year of unemployment. Needless to say, I did not take care of myself much.
So here I am. Ready to finally lose the weight. I think I can do this if I hold myself accountable. I want to get pregnant again and I never want to see the scale go over 200 lbs again.
My goal: lose 25 pounds
My plan: weight watchers and the 30 day shred program
