Laden with Thoughts

I’ve been putting in a lot of effort these last few weeks to live a healthier lifestyle.  While it’s true that I spend much of my time chasing children around, I haven’t had a regular workout routine in years.  Like… nine years.  That’s too many years.  Oy.

SO!  Last week I joined Curves and have worked out three times this week (with a planned fourth workout tomorrow morning).  I’ve also joined WW online to keep track of the food I’m eating.  Mostly what I need is accountability when it comes to my horrible snacking/grazing habits… I love me some cheesy salty goodness.  (Om nom nom nom nom.)  It’s quite humbling when my computer forces me to tell it what I actually ate for lunch… I can feel it judging me.  No, really.

But it’s worth it!  Today I had my first positive and significant step forward: I lost a pound since last week!  It’s progress, and I feel more motivated than ever to keep up this hard work.  In addition, I’ve felt happier and more energetic on the days when I’ve visited the gym first thing in the morning.

Yay.  I need this.  It’s time to be happy and fit!  Or… at least happy.  The fit part will hopefully follow.  ;)
