Day 43

Hello everyone!! Day before my weigh in and I can honestly say that this week...I'm not nervous!! I will be happy with whatever happens, because this week was really hard! And is still going to be. I will be working this weekend, with my first day off being Tuesday. But it is all worth it to have a job at all! I mean full time WAS what I wanted after all! So no matter what, I will not let tomorrow scare me away!

These last few days have not been easy. ESPECIALLY with no working out. So Hayden and I had been discussing different schedules that we could possibly switch around and try to make it so I miss the smallest amount of family time possible. So we finally came up with a solution. With what I am spending on gas at the Fort Gordon gym every day, it would actually be cheaper for me to go to the Anytime Fitness a little over half a mile from the house. And because they are open all the time, I am able to go for an hour once everyone is in bed and won't miss out on ANY family time, which is really important to me since we only get a couple hours a night together. So that was the solution we came up with! And a mighty good one I think!

Now I know that it will be really hard to get used to all of this. I mean I wake up around 6-7 everyday and am home from work around 7-8:30 every night. Have dinner and tuck Alayna in for bed. Head to the gym for an hour or so and then head home, shower, and back in bed to sleep and do it all over again  in the morning!! I think once I settle into a routine, it won't be as scary to do that everyday as it feels now.

So I did decide to go to the gym last night (since I could go right away, why waste any time??). The equipment is really nice and there were only 2 other people there so I didn't feel so many eyes on me! It was really nice to be there without so many people there. There is a nice room where you can do more aerobic like activities. They provide kettle bells and small weights and stability balls and yoga mats and just anything you can think of, they have it! And the good thing about going late at night is that no one is there and you can do what is comfortable for you! Now last night I didn't do very well because I was tired after running around all day. And I have been off for 4 days so I knew I was going to be a little bit behind the curve, but I just need to get back in the swing of things! All-in-all I think it was the best decision I could have made for what I needed most. SO....today I will be starting day 4 at work and hopefully can keep the energy level up! See you all tomorrow for weigh in!!
