Life - 1 Fitness - 0!

Life scores one! 

Well lets see this week I think I'm gonna have to let life win out! It has been such a crazy week that I haven't gotten home until close to 9pm almost every night!  

Is this an excuse?

Well yes...and no! 

Yes, because well frankly after working all day coming home fixing dinner (which by the way I didn't have time to eat myself - I rock as a wife!) and then leaving again I just didn't feel like working out! 

No, because my alarm IS set for 5:45am every morning in hopes that I would get out of bed head down to the gym (which is conveniently located in my basement no less) and get my lazy butt on the treadmill...As you can tell by the title of this blog - that didn't happen.

How sad is it that the alarm goes off and I wake up (for the most part) and yet I still don't walk the thirty steps into my basement?  I am so lucky to basically have a fully equipped gym in my basement and I don't use it? WHY??? Well the answer to that my friends is easy - and it's why I am so "fluffy" - I am LAZY! 

So my dear blog readers - This is where I need help from all of you - help me get motivated and stay motivated!  I definitely need to change my outlook from the above picture to this:

On a positive note - I did make it to my hour long Yoga class on Wednesday night - because one - I had a dear friends waiting for me and I have stood her up a few times now and two - because I stood up said friend a few times the instructor called me out on it in class!  

So my fellow followers - What do you do to stay motivated?  Or in my case get started???

Help me tie up this little match of Life and Fitness!

Remember Me....

Well well well, it looks like it's been several months since I last wrote on my blog. Opps!  Sorry about that!  So due to me being inconsistent with my blogging..let me catch you up on a few things....

Since I last wrote I did run in my second (this year) third (overall) 5k in September. 

Right after I crossed the finish line

My cousin was awesome enough to run in the Oktoberfest Bier Run with me..While I really hoped I would have done better - I didn't but I am happy that I at least completed it!

Coming to the finish line

My cousin did great!  I was really hoping to keep pace with her but alas the fact that I had not been training really showed!  It's amazing how training really does help! Now we are halfway through October and all the goals I have set for myself have been non existent.  We have several trips planned in the coming months and I really wanted to drop a few LB's before them...Those trips have now come up faster than I expected them to =(  So that brings me to the here and now!  So I am back to blogging and tracking everything in hopes that this will help keep me accountable.  I am going to post some stats on my blog to also help me with my progress...So yes, I am going to do the unthinkable...Probably because I don't think anyone is actually reading this blog...I am going to post my weight out there for the whole interwebs to see!  GASP!!!  This can lead to one of two things - I am completely embarrassed cause everyone knows my weight OR I will do something to change it so I can redeem myself.  I haven't taken measurements so we will leave those off for now.  Soooo here goes nothing -
Starting weight - 145lbs *hangs my head in shame*

Plans for tonight -
Cook the family a healthy meal (NO FAST FOOD)
Spend some quality time with my friend - The Treadmill
Drink lots of water

Feel free to post your current weight (although you can do it anonymously) and lets take this journey together - shall we?
