Hiatus

We are less than a week out from our trip to the NW. I have not accomplished my fitness goals but I am not completely unhappy with my food and exercise journaling and do plan to continue that.

Thing is, the rest of this week is going to be pretty hectic, I finished up my final last night (a complete piece of crap) but I still have Christmas cards and gifts to deal with before we fly so I am going to take a break from trying to log everything until we get back from our trip.

Once I am back, I will start back in, with a fresh slate...and hopefully more motivation than I have shown thus far. I will be back in class but not until late January so I will have to some time to get things going on the right track.

So, I guess I will write more later, much later. Hasta luego.

Fitness Update

I am getting desperate...the time is clicking by and I am not any closer to reaching my goal of fitterness by Christmas than I was 2 months ago when I started this.

I am just not motivated at all to exercise...I am considering a "Survivor" diet...ever notice how skinny those people get in about 9 days of being on that show???

I think that I am in a place where while I am not happy with my body, it is not grossing me out enough to do anything about it...of course this is also because I am avoiding mirrors when naked.

I will not give up though because even if I don't meet my Christmas goals, overall fitness is not something I am willing to toss....I want to be happy with my body, feel good about myself and be healthier. In other words I want to be a hotty again...haha. I don't think that is too much to ask, regardless of my age.
