Momentum Lagging and then Rejuvinated

So, at the beginning of last week, I was totally gun-ho about this challenge. I worked hard and I was strict (even to leave game night with neighbors so I could make my personal goal...), and it was fun.

But I was also exhausted. Even with my added sleep (such a good idea for me!), I was still so tired by the end of the day and then definitely by the end of the week. This 30 mins 6 days a week is tough!! I usually do 2-3 days a week. So this has been pushing me and it's made me so tired. So I really enjoyed the break on Sunday.

But then Monday came. And I was not feeling it. Instead of being excited about working out, I was dreading it because of sick children and staying up all night...so I barely did it at like 8:30 last night. And all I wanted to do was eat some chocolate. Or something. It was really hard!!

I thought to myself, "This is why most New Year's Resolutions don't last. We get excited, and then we kind of burn ourselves out." I resolved I wasn't going to get burned out. So I'm still going! I just made my work out today 30 minutes or so instead of 1 1/2 hours I was doing last week. I gotta adjust, right? And thanks to the knowledge that ALL of you are trying to do it too made me that much more determined (well, a bit maybe). But it at least gave me the motivation to do it. It's like I could hear you all cheering me on. Or at least saying, "Hey, we did it. Get off the couch and get to work."

So, for what it's worth. Thanks everyone! And thanks, Angela, again, for hosting this challenge. I can't wait to see what happens to me after 4 more weeks!
