Times are Changing - Weight Loss Moves

Times are changing and so must I. My son is almost finished with his first year in school (Kindergarten) and my daughter is on her way in to pre-school. I'm going to be on my own for the first part of the day and will no longer have an excuse for my weight gain. I really shouldn't have an excuse now, but I can't avoid the fact that caring for a child at home does bring with it challenges such as exhaustion at the end of the day, entertaining foods that should not be eaten by a 36 year old without penalty and even the constant demanding housemaking workload. All of those things have certainly contributed to my feeling unmotivated to work out.

Yes, I know that working out is a stress reliever and that it's healthy for me, but tell my body that when all I want to do is sleep or just sit there and ignore everything I should be doing. Most days I dream of just laying down uninterrupted. Alas, it's still just a dream. Although, I must admit that lately, every now and then, my husband does allow me a little "me" time on the weekends.

I guess I have to gear up for the next step to parenting, that of taking the kids to their events, supporting them when they need homework help and the like. I'm glad I'm not in the acne treatments phase. I don't know what I'm going to do when they start going through puberty. Oh my goodness. I'll be in my 40s and they'll probably be taller than me. I'll just have to keep repeating to myself, "You're not alone. You're not alone." LOL!

Anyway, so this weekend was a bust for weight loss. I was PMSing big time and wanted to eat everything in site. On the other hand, it's all down hill from today forward. The monthly came and I'm no longer ravenous. I have to find a way to control those urges during that week before my friend hits. Oh well, on to more research on how to control urges to eat everything in site.

If you have any input, please divulge.
