pushing thru..

i haven't been feeling so hot the last few days... i really just wanted to go home and get back into bed this morning!
but i didn't. i went to the gym whining to myself the whole time. i'm certainly glad i did it. but it wasn't easy!

today i just focused on Cardio because i've been kinda slacking on that.  i definitely enjoy the weight training much better.  so i did 30 mins. on the bike and 25 on the treadmill. 
oddly enough when i signed into the system to enter in what i'd done i got a message from one of the trainers saying that she's checked on my progress and was very proud of the work i've been doing BUT i need to do some more cardio. =) it made me chuckle.

i'm still on track with my eating... i'm down 2 more pounds today. for a total of 13.
hooray!

that's all for now!

Confessions of a slacker....

sooo.... some of you have probably been wondering where i went.... some of you probably just assumed that i fell off the wagon.... some of you probably didn't notice that i was gone. but i'm here, i'm stupid busy, and i am at least hanging onto the bumper of the wagon... =)

it has been a while since i've written so i have a lot to catch up on....
i went out of town right after my last post. and so i slacked off while i was gone. i will admit it. i didn't go the the gym while we were gone. i did manage to control my eating BUT i drank a lot of soda. (this is always my downfall) so the good news for me is that i still lost that week... only one pound but still a loss and i really thought i would gain.
this last week has also been a struggle. i haven't been feeling well, which really makes it difficult to get to the gym. and let me tell you, i can feel it. it's a catch 22 isn't it? i don't feel good so i'm not going to the gym, and now i feel like crap because i didn't make it to the gym! lame.
and i obviously haven't been doing my lessons either so i'm slacking all around. but i'm, telling you about it so that means that i'll make it in today b/c i'd be too embarrassed to have to write something like this again.

so i will ask this of you, anyone who happens to be reading this:
say a prayer for me today.
say a prayer for me tomorrow.
and go ahead and say one the next day too...
really anytime you think about it....

i need help to make it thru this. i know i can't do it by myself. if left to my own devices i will fail again and again. i am on my knees asking God to help me thru this.... really asking God to carry me thru this. but i need your help too.

thank you!
love
