It’s all up to me

I have completed 100 days of exercise since July 4th.  That was the day I got corny and declared my independence from being fat, so I declared that I would exercise 250 times within the next year.  As of right now I’m ahead of the game to reach my goal but I’m sure there will be some weeks where I don’t average my 5 workouts so these extra days will come in handy.  But for right now I shoot for working out every day b/c I enjoy it.  This morning I got up early and did my yoga/pilates DVD.  I had to do something quiet b/c everyone is still sleeping.  I’m hoping that incorporating pilates will help me to get rid of the mound of fat that’s between my belly button and lady bits.  I have been overweight for so long that I’m worried not all of the skin is going to snap back.  Oh well, I’ll worry about that problem when it’s here.

For today, my issue (as always) is going to be food.  A good friend and I are going out to breakfast while our boys are at a cooking class and then later my older son, hubby and I are going to do a few things including going out to lunch.  I rarely go out to eat and here I’m doing it 2 days in a row.  Like last weekend, I’m sure my calories are going to be higher than usual no matter what I do, but I’m going to focus on making healthy choices.  So for now, I’m going to eat a smaller than normal breakfast since it’s still over 3 hours until we meet.  At breakfast I’ll have a few eggs and some fruit and for lunch we’re going to the place we were going to go to last week so I’ll have the club sandwich w/the mayo on the side and cottage cheese.  I have to make it a good day today b/c I’m so close to the 230’s again.  When I first weighed myself this morning it was 240.0 but after my workout it said 238.0.  I’m going w/the higher number b/c I don’t typically weigh myself after my workout but I needed the motivation.

Progress toward workout goal:  100/250
