I'm soooooo regretting NOT signing up for the color run! It looks like everyone had so much fun! And so many of my friends did it! I swear every other post on Facebook was about the Color Run.
UUGHHHH I'm SOOO LAME!!!
So today I went to Costco and had lunch... also had a reality check. I think I consumed 25145682 calories today. Half of which were consumed at Costco. I know I have said "I need to get back on track" like the last 4 posts, but really I do, and I am. I went grocery shopping, and have HEALTHY food in my house again, and all the junk is pretty much gone. My trainer wants me to count calories, which totally intimidates the hell out of me, but I know I need to do it. I need to lose weight by this summer. I want to get to my pre-pregnancy weight by June. That’s 30 pounds. I know I can do it because I have done it before. My amazing husband has been so supportive. I keep making comments such as, "I want to be skinny." "I wish I wasn’t so fat." etc, etc... He finally said to me, "Why don’t you just do it to be healthy?" He is so amazing, and although he doesn’t always say the right things at the right time, he definitely did that time. He is absolutely right. I need to make my focus on getting healthy, feeling stronger, and having more energy. Getting skinny is just a side effect of what’s most important.
I have also started taking B-12 vitamins... well, I took it once, but I bought them finally! :) I heard from one of the Dr. shows that is helps with a lot and that women can become deficient easily. I also related to a lot of the symptoms (which I think most women do, just because of how were made). I figure it can’t hurt, so I'll give it a try!
I think my hormones are still WAY out of whack. Actually I know they are, and I guess they should be. It’s only been 6 months since I had the baby, and I know I am being too hard on myself. But my emotions are still so all over the place. One day I'm on a natural high, and another day I feel depressed, some days I’m extremely irritable (my poor kids) and then I have days where my anxiety is so bad I'm constantly looking over my shoulder because I'm just waiting for a loud noise, or someone to scare me! lol. Not to mention, I am always supppper tired. I have a few days with energy. Actually yesterday when I took the B-12 I had tons of energy and didn’t get sleepy till around 10pm. It was nice. I got a lot accomplished, but not working out of course. Plus, it is supposed to increase your metabolism, so I have heard. We will see how it goes. In the meantime, I am going to write up my meal plan for the week so I won’t be so likely to veer way off course again.
Back to the Color Run thing... I found a website that has a ton of upcoming races with links to register. Now I just need to choose one. I'm thinking the Scorpion Warrior looks fun. I don't know if I could be ready for that in 3 weeks though... Here is the website: http://www.runningintheusa.com/race/List.aspx?Rank=Upcoming&State=NV&Page=1
Enjoy, and sign up for a race :)
