Sleep is Good

I finally got a decent amount of sleep, which is very important for your overall health. Of course, getting sleep with a baby is sometimes a laughable cause, but it's one we should strive for nevertheless! So, in that area, I feel better.

Shopping last night was a bust. But that's okay, I can shop online and use the gift cards. So far I will have about $40 leftover. I don't really see anything else that I like enough to spend money on. I didn't place the order last night because I was afraid that I was just going to buy something to just spend the money that was burning a hole in my pocket, but there are several things that I do think are really cute.

Here's my eating plan for today:
Breakfast: Honey Nut Cheerios & 1% milk
Lunch: Oven Roasted Turkey Lunchmeat & Barbecue Chicken Lunchmeat (we're out of bread, lol)
Dinner: Pot Roast with Veggies

Snacks: I have nuts at work ... so some mixture of sunflower seed kernals, almonds, and dry roasted plain peanuts

So, The Shred (as it shall hereafter be called, mwahaha) begins this Sunday! I am both excited and scared out of my mind. I had an old school chum (I'm weird, I know) tell me that it was awesome, so I hope it doesn't kill me because she said Jillian gets you great results. I get paid this Thursday and I'm going to try to buy it used off of Amazon, but I don't think it'll get here in time, so I'll probably just hit up Target or Walmart. It's only like $9.00 (plus one more 5 lb hand weight, so let's say $15.00 max).

I plan to do each day of the workout in the morning after I get up with my son. He usually wakes up between 4 and 5, and then hangs out in his swing for a bit and possibly takes a small nap before he and Daddy leave for daycare around 7-ish. So I should be able to find 20 minutes to do the workout and 5 minutes to stretch/recover/down some serious water. I also figure this will prevent me from using the excuse that I'm too tired to do it when I get home from work.

Things I'm looking forward to:
+ Not being incredibly self-conscious about my arms
+ Toning my abdominal muscles back into place from pregnancy
+ Toning all over, in general
+ Losing weight & becoming healthier

Things I'm scared of:
+ That I'm too heavy to do this workout program; I'm afraid I will get frustrated and give up
+ Essentially, I'm afraid it will be too hard for me and I'll give up
+ Self-sabotaging

But that's where the idea of a support system comes in, right? People to help you through when you need it ... Yeah, that's it. ;)

We shall see!
