Sunday November 11th - Day ?

Today, the wife and I picked up a year membership to the rec center near the house. While there I rode the stationary bike 4.9 miles and did a couple of the arm machines. Not to much, but it's a start. I'm looking into getting a personal trainer and also doing some water aerobics. There is a water aerobics(aerobic) class Monday at 10 I am going to try to attend. That's if I don't have a meeting around that time. I have to check the work calendar tomorrow.

Woke up 5 minutes late

Today was a good start of waking up with my alarm clock. It was set for 6:45 and I got up at 6:50. I'm pretty sure I woke up at 6:50, because my alarm sound was actually part of my dream. You should not play battlefield 3 and set your phones alarm to sound like an actual alarm.

Also, today was not a bad food day as well. I had oatmeal for breakfast, Greek yogurt, flaxseeds, and almonds fir a snack, lunch I had 2 grilled chicken breast, mixed steamed veggies, and butternut squash and greens risotto(, and for dinner I had pasta with a slow cooker tomato sauce thing with a lice of pecan pie.

No exercise! Have not got the motivation yet. Working in progress!!

The scale is going the wrong way!

I woke up this morning and hoped in the scale. Didn't think I was doing to bad, at the least I was maintaining what I had lost. Well, the number looking back at me this minting was not what I expected. I am back in to the 330. 333.2 to be exact. I am very disappointed in my damn self. I am anger that I worked to lose the weight and then y acts of laziness allowed it to creep back up. I have to stop the cycle. It's so difficult to lose the extra weight, but a few days of bad habits can add it back on quickly. I know this is not an easy task, but damn. If I am not watching and trying every freakin day, the weight monster seems to catch up and jump back on. I know this is my fault, because I look at everything health is a pain or a chore, but I don't know how else to look at it. It's always been WORK to eat healthy and exercise. I have to fun a way to change my mindset. I have to start to love the earthy food I put into my body. Also, I have to figure out how to like exercise, again.

If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.

It'shard to get up in the mornings!

Why must it be so difficult to wake up in the morning. No matter what time I go to bed, my body seems to think 7 - 7:30 is a good time to actually say up. If I set the alarm for 6 or 630 I am dead tired, but at 7 as the sun peeks through the windows I am wide awake. In wonder if it is just a light thing? I set the alarm for 6 so I can get up and do some type of exercise, but I usually sleep right through it. I think I am going to try to set my alarm back 15 minutes every week. So instead of setting for 6am, I am going to set it for 6:45. Hopefully, this will help regulate my waking up patterns.

For those of you that still read my blog, how do you get yourself to wake up with the alarm?
