Slacker?....Five Pounds?!

I've become one of those people. You know, a slacker.  I've also gained 5 pounds....upon re-checking it's 3 pounds!  I don't know what happened?!  OK, maybe I do...yes, I really do know what's happening.  Lately, the weather has been sunny one minute, thunder storming the next.  This usually happens towards the end of the day, lasting into my workout time.  Plus getting caught in Florida's torrential rain means getting caught in a lightening storm....and I dislike those intensely!  I've also been busy with my daily life...husband....kids....work....worry, worry, worry as well!  Can a girl not get a break?!  I want to get back to my world of going gung-ho, running myself back into shape, not a nervous break down!



I actually won't have a nervous break down (not yet), however, there are those days when it feels like it!  I'm actually trying to salvage some of my goals so I keep moving...being physical, maybe not as often as I like, but I'm doing something!  I'm swimming in the pool  as often as I can with Amanda...have you seen my photos on my Photo Journal page?  I've also been to the gym a few times, again with Amanda...yes we do hang out a lot, spending quality times together! {side notes: -  I find that my youngest and I love doing the same things, most of the time.  And getting her interested in being physically active is good for her!  She's a lot like me, no wonder we get into those head on crash-arguments at times...when she tries to establish too much of her independence and I have to remind her she is only 9 years old and I AM the MOMMY!  Other than that, we get along swell!  My teen son, who will be 17 soon, is into his own things....which I do get involved with at some levels.....hey, junior gaming mom here!  My oldest has her own world, which includes her child, school, work...and though they both live with me...my grandson hangs out with me for some of the mini-adventures Amanda and I get into, more than she does.}

I might not be a total slacker after all!  And I will keep my weight gain in check (fingers crossed behind me!).  So until I get back into full-scale-working-out-for-my-life-mode, I'll continue to carve out those moments, doing anything to get this body of mine moving and toned!  Now if only my eyes weren't always feasting itself on deliciously, tempting food, my brain could resist the temptation of sending signals that let my hands reach for said food.....well, that's an entirely different article!
