5:00 am

I am going to do it!!  I have tried and failed many times, but I am determined!  And putting it on the blog makes it real, right?

I am going to set my clock for 5:00 am, get my booty out of bed and work out to T25.  I know this routine will give me more energy, especially with these cold, dreary months that are ahead of me.  I have known this for years, but somehow end up stopping out of laziness and thus, starting my usual spiral of events to start back up until I am ready to get on the healthy bandwagon again.

I know I am not the only one that keeps falling victim to the endless cycle of healthy vs. unhealthy times.  How can I make it different this time?  I am hoping this blog will help hold me accountable.  My kids are going to motivate me as well.  I feel like I was such a bear with the amount of stress I felt these last few months, I do not want to go back to that!

Even with knowing the benefits of exercise and how I feel when working out regularly compared to not working out, I tend to keep it up for 4-6 weeks, then fall short again.  I want to stick to it this time, I want to feel great, I want to look great as well.  I hope the motivation sticks this time!

If I keep it up, I plan on buying a new exercise program and starting up Shakeology again, but I need to prove that I am going to stick to it first.

What are some things you do that motivate you to keep working out, even if you do not want to?

Happy New Year!

I am determined to make working out a hobby.  Otherwise, it feels like something I just do not want to do!  I need to start thinking more positively for not only myself, but for my kiddos as well.  So these are my goals for 2016.  The kids are looking at me for the lead, and so I must lead and focus on our health. It can be hard when I am working so much and taking a class towards my Master’s degree this coming semester.  But I have to stop making excuses and do it anyways.  I need something to think about that is not just about work and school.  I need to be a role model for my children.  Did I mention I have to stop making excuses?

And on that note… Happy New Year to you and your family!!  Have you set a goal yet?  How are you going to hold yourself accountable?
