So....I did it! 5:15am is my new wake up time. Monday, I got up...all my stuff was ready...I had to tip toe out the door (which I hate by the way! Allen says I am being crazy)...went outside to get in my car and got a little scared (ya im scared of the dark, especially in south sac!)...and went off the the gym.
The instructor was totally shocked to see me, since I went 6 days a week for 3 months straight and then all the sudden stopped. Did the class, got to see my gym buddy, who was also insanely happy to see me!
Getting ready at the gym wasn't so bad. I was expecting it to be so much worse. I grab all my shampoo, conditioner, body wash, yada yada. Walked in the shower and they have body wash and shampoo in pumps on the wall! awesome! Minus the people who are just really too confident about their bodies, it was good.
Went back Tuesday, same thing. I felt great. This morning I woke up and realized I was missing some few essential items that I need, so I took a day off, but I'll be back at it again tomorrow.
I took all my measurements last night, since before when I was going so often I didn't and I was disappointed because I was looking on weight only. Bad idea. So we will see how this pans out...I can't wait to be skinny!! ♥
Allen recently got a bike and we bought him this super cute jacket today...isn't he cute? :)
I was trying to take a picture without him knowing...hehe...he saw me in the rear view mirror!
Be careful!!!!!!So I've been saying to myself for the past 2 weeks that I need to start going to the gym again...I want to start posting more often...I want to eat better...I want to be more organized...yada yada yada. I haven't done anything about it.
My big hold up is the gym. For 3 months straight I was going to the gym 6 daysa week at 5:30 every morning to take a cycling class that started at 6am. The gym was about 10 min from my house. As most of you know, I then was having trouble with my neighbor so I started not going to the gym in the morning because my neighbor would be outside at that time, and I just didn't feel safe. Well, of course, very soon after that I moved to South Sacramento.
Ever since then, I have been totally out of my workout routine, eating horrible (but oh so good Thai food!!), and just being lazy about everything I do. I want to keep going to the gym (as does my gym buddy who is so mad at me) but it is just so far away (about a 1/2 hour) and I can't contemplate trying to get ready at the gym when I am so used to getting ready in the comfort of my own home.
Monday, I am going to do it though...try it out. I have been asking a lot of people about it, and some are like "getting ready at the gym is so easy...everything will be fine" and some "1/2 hour to get to the gym at 6am? you are crazy!"
I was going to start this week, but of course they decided that they wanted to fire the HUGE hearted lady that worked with me and hire someone else that I had to train. Can I just say training is the most exhausting thing ever!! I couldn't imagine trying to do everything this week when I needed to catch up on my own work that I couldn't do because I was teaching someone else how to do their work. Enough blabber, THIS week!!! I am determined!!
I still have a lot of pictures to add but here are some and I will add later...
Almost my entire family was together to visit my Grandma & Grandpa. Unfortunately my grandpa did not look this way when we got to see him, and he passed away on August 29th. We are so fortunate to have such a smart Grandpa that did so much and influenced so many lives. While we were there, we got to get lots of great pictures!
The cutest nieces and nephews I could ask for...missing Rowan.
