So this week has been crazy. Travis has been in the hospital since Monday and I have been running around like crazy. It has so hard to divide my time. I want to be at the hospital with him, especially since I know how boring a week in the hospital is. Problem is, he was diagnosed with RSV and we really didn't want to expose the kids to him or any of the other gross hospital germs any more than we already had. That means having grandparents and Miss Mary watch the kids while I went to DePaul. It has just been so hard and I have a new found respect for all the single parents out there!
So what did all of this mean for my workouts? I didn't do them. I was exhausted and busy and just didn't do them. I ate like crap this week as well. A lot of fast food and grabbing snacks on the go. So, I am going to start everything over. I am going to catch up on my #mayibeginyoga2015 challenge. I am going to retry the ab challenge starting June 1st and I am going to restart half marathon training on Monday. I am going to do a 30 minute yoga session every day. I am back to meal planning and healthier home cooked foods. I won't let this past week bring me to a crashing halt. I just had a misstep and am heading back on track.
My weight surprisingly stayed the same. 175
Oh and I have a favorite yoga position. Corpse pose is just fantastic!

#battleofthebelly
I've posted a thousand times about losing weight. I have problems sticking with a weight loss/work out problem. I set goals and then just give up. Not this time!! This time I paid a lot of money to run a race while I am on vacation. In fact, we planned an entire vacation around this race! So I am sticking with it!
I started a 20 week couch to half marathon training program. Interval training so I am building up my endurance in a healthy way! I am also starting to do yoga. I have pretended to do yoga in the past, done the Jillian Michaels yoga challenge, and got kicked out of a yogalates class in college. However, I am really loving the way yoga is making me feel. The relaxation (ha!) and the stretch I am getting is amazing! I am looking for a yoga class I can fit into my week. the #mayibeginyoga2015 instagram yoga challenge has been a lot of fun to do. A pose a day for the whole month!
I am also doing a #30dayabchallenge My upper body and my core are super weak. I am hoping that by toning my core muscles through yoga and ab work, not only will I have a flatter tummy, but also help with my back and hip issues. My back is a mess after scoliosis, a few car accidents, and injuries dating back to high school and now my hips are out of whack after pushing out 2 babies. I don't feel comfortable going to a chiropractor so I am hoping all of this helps.
Now, on to the part I dread: The Weight Loss Goal.
I currently weight almost as much as I did the day I had Loralei. I have let myself go over the last year and half. It was easy to use excuses. "i have a toddler and a newborn" "I'm exhausted" "I don't have time" "I don't care if I am fat, I'm happy" Well the truth is, my baby isn't a newborn anymore. She isn't even really a baby. I'm exhausted because I am not healthy. I have plenty of time and really just lacked motivation. I do care that I am fat and I'm not really happy. It's time to change all of that! I want to have energy and be healthy and happy for my kids. I don't want to get tired just chasing Kenny around the yard or get winded running up the stairs. I want to lose 25-30 pounds. That will put me in a healthy BMI and get me down to a size I am comfortable with. If I lose more, then great, but I don't want to go to the extreme. I am more concerned with how I look and feel than what the scale actually says.
Soooo...... I will be posting my weight and doing biweekly weigh-ins to keep myself accountable. If it's out there, then I will want to make sure I change it.
175.2
There it is. It's not a pretty number and I am determined to see it drop. So thanks to all of you following this journey and keeping me accountable. I really do appreciate it!
