So I am having a hard time getting back into working out. I keep saying to myself that I will do it tomorrow and I never end up doing it. I haven't worked out once since I got back from my mother’s for Christmas. I did workout at her place once the four days that we were there but that was it. I am starting to eat better again and to watch my calories again. I haven't been doing that either. I started that back up yesterday, I am hoping to get a workout in tonight but we will have to see. I will be getting home late the rest of this week. I know that that is not an excuse. I have 3 months to lose the weight that I need to lose for the wedding and with this attitude I will never do it. I know I have said in the past that tomorrow is another day and that you should never give up, however that does not mean that you should keep putting it off till tomorrow ( like I am doing right now lol). If you keep putting it off till tomorrow then tomorrow will never come and you will never reach your goal. The tomorrow is a new day is for if you are working on it and you happen to have one bad day. This is motivation to not give up just because you have had one bad day. But what I have been doing does not apply to that. I am putting it off and if I keep doing it, not only will I not lose any more weight, I will gain back all that I lost. There are no easy fixes if you want your results to last. Fad diets and such only lose the weight; they don't teach you how to keep it off. Working out and watching what you eat is the only way to do it and to have it last. I am not saying that you have to change everything that you eat, but you do have to work it in. I am allowed 1400 calories a day; if I want to eat candy or a pop I look at the calories in it and add that to my daily intake. I keep a little notebook with my all the time and I write down everything that I eat. It’s not as hard as it sounds. You just have to watch your portion sizes and the calories in those portion sizes. So to lose 1 lb. a week we need to burn 3500 calories, that is 500 calories a day. Its little things that add up, like having one less pop a day (or cutting pop out altogether), parking at the back of the parking lot and walking a little bit further, working out for an extra 5 minutes, taking the stairs, etc. They all add up, and you need to keep with it. You can't just do it for a week and give up if you don't see results right away. It is something that you need to keep at and not give up on. Keep trying it will happen. I also promise that I will keep trying and that I am going to start working out again. I will do it tonight!!

Tomorrow Never Comes...
