I’ve been dragging my feet this week. I am very tired and my kids have been sick so I have been up nights with them, and my lack of sleep is definitely showing itself when I go to the gym. I push myself hard and each time I go I try to go a little further, or burn a few morn calories. I think I need to stop this for awhile because I cant always do more.

Im thinking of doing a spin class. Im very nervous because I dont think I will be able to keep up with everyone else, but I am reading abook right now called Never say Diet and in it she talks about not being afraid being the biggest in the gym, or the slowest or whatever … bottom line is you are there and you are doing good for your body…at your own pace. So, I was thinking of going tomorrow morning, but after this morning I think my body needs a couple of days of rest so I might try that class instead of the aqua fit on Monday morning.

I have not weighed in, but I have had to put a way a crapload of clothes from my closet. That’s good and bad. I am feeling better about myself, like I am being the best I can be and that makes me feel like I am accomplishing something.

Im going out to dinner tonight with DH. Have already decided to eat what I would have eaten before, Im fine with that. I need that to keep this real.
