Back in the groove

I've avoided the scale lately knowing I haven't been eating as well as I should. Finally, two days ago I decided to check it out, and my goodness. I set up the DVD player that night and worked out in the morning. I realized for a week straight I had said, "I'll just workout when Mark gets home." Mark gets home. We eat. We watch tv. We do not workout. I slowly gain more weight. 

Now I make sure to workout in the morning. If I start off my day working out, I don't have to worry about forgetting or being too exhausted to workout. I realized too that I have WAY more energy when I workout in the morning. I feel great, I am less hungry. 

I try to inspire others to be healthy and workout, and luckily I have friends who post about their struggles and personal thoughts about working out that keep me going as well. Sometimes I get so excited when someone's story comes at the right time, I go overboard and share way too much haha. It's nice to know I'm not the only person who struggles with weight - even after losing 20-30 pounds. I just get excited. 

I know I look and feel much better, but I have high standards for myself and know I haven't been doing all I can. If you think your story doesn't matter, you are wrong. You never know who needs your story!
