Challenges

In October, I started going to the gym; I was doing well; then life happened, I lost my babysitter so I couldn't go anymore. I miss it because I'm actually a better mom after I spend 45 minutes working off the annoyances of the day prior to going home to be a mom and a student both. I'm entering my last semester of Grad School. By last semester, I mean last decent into hell. I eventually shifted from not working out to working at at home for now until I find a babysitter; I'm still coughing out S35 a month to a gym I never see but maybe my wallet will motivate me to find a sitter. 

For the next 2 weeks, I'm finishing up a 21 day challenge. I did it last year but I stopped it when the challenge stopped. This year I actually started it back in December. In October I swapped my favorite starbucks for a Skinny. In November I kissed rice and bread good bye; in December, I kissed chocolate good bye (that was hell) and now I've kissed all the other crap goodbye. I'm living on greens and protein. I did it for years and I'm finally starting to feel like me again. I'm not as cranky or tired. I'm sleeping better. 

I'm about to start working out twice a day until I start seeing some results. I've lost over 5 inches in a week but it's not where I want to loose it. its not fair, problem areas should leave 1st. :)
