Wednesday - Week 3, Day 5

I started this blog out by posting each day how the workouts were going and making a point to "check in."  I decided posting daily was kind of obnoxious, but I think it was keeping me more accountable so I may need to try that again.  I got a pretty late start running errands today and ended up waiting until after the kids were home from school to work out, but I did it!  It felt good, but it was hard.  I did the ab ripper portion, too, and that one actually went pretty well.

I can (as always,) feel the extra pound or two that creeps back whenever I get off course, and it usually makes me feel sluggish.  But also motivated!  I paid for the late night a bit today, too.  I'm thankful that I found the energy to get through it and I'm trying to move ahead and stay positive.  The problem with taking 3, 4, and this time 5 days off is that getting back in feels a bit like starting over each time.  I can certainly feel a difference with the stopping & starting from how it should be.  I don't know why I would continuously put myself through that.  The workouts are enjoyable and easier when your body is prepared.  That is how the program is designed, and I know it works.

Tomorrow will be the last workout for week 3, although I am probably at least 2 full weeks behind from where I should be.  After skipping days I just resume where I left off so that I'm still getting each workout in, in the correct order.  Honestly if I could get a good 5 days in a row each week and say the hell with it on weekends I would probably be happy at this point.  I know I shouldn't make that deal with myself but it's Tuesday, and my goal for right now is going to be THREE MORE DAYS. 

However, I just found something a little inspiring that sort of contradicts that mini goal :) 

(I wasn't talking about QUITTING, though!)

Keep moving!
