Where's that wagon?!

Hi, Ladies! I'm checking in and ready to get back on the wagon after being off for a few weeks. I've been watching what I eat somewhat, but the exercise just hasn't been happening now for about two months. Hard to say where I went wrong. It started with a vacation in August and went downhill from there. I also got discouraged because I thought getting in better shape would help me get pregnant, but it hasn't. I know there are TONS of other benefits to working out and eating healthy. That's why I'm getting back on the wagon and trying to focus on those things instead of getting pregnant. I have been doing a yoga dvd for relaxation, which I love, but the foward bends are wreaking havoc on my lower back which I'm not happy about. So.... I need to get myself back to the gym. If I can get there twice this week, that'll be something. I keep telling myself I did really well from March til August and I can do it again. Perhaps if I focus on the big picture of having a healthy lifestyle instead of counting every calorie, that will help me be more successful in the long run. I'm 5'4 and weigh about 130. I'd love to lose a few pounds, but to me it's more important to work on exercising regularly at this point. Hopefully a benefit of that will be getting toner, but I CAN'T let myself get obsessed with the tape measure and counting inches. That's why I say I'm going to try to focus more on the big picture. Wish me luck.

Good see you back Debbie! Seems like that wagon is swerving around for many of us these days, but you really sound like you have a plan in place. Making a plan that focuses on the benefits to healthy living is a great way to hop on the wagon.


Looking forward to seeing your around again ~IG

Happy Halloween!
