Week Two

I'm having a difficult time getting motivated to work out. I know that I need to work out in the morning before work, but it's so hard to crawl out of bed at 5:00 am voluntarily. I always convince myself that it's okay to go back to sleep and that I'll work out when I get home from work. Of course, that never happens. By the time I get off work, it's about all I can do to fix dinner for myself and Joel, clean up the kitchen, and crawl into bed. I realize that my lack of energy is directly related to my being overweight and inactive, and that once I start working out more I will have more energy. It's a vicious cycle. The bottom line is I just have to make myself get out of bed an hour earlier than necesarry and go to the gym. If only it were as easy to do that as it is to say it. So, that is my goal this week. I have to buckle down on working out. I've done really well with food this past week. Especially after the fridge/pantry makeover. I'm coming up with new, inventive recipes, and making eating healthy really easy. I'm glad that part is coming so easily...I hope the working out will come easily at some point too.

Tonight for dinner I tried a recipe I found online, and it was great! It's always encouraging to try out a new recipe and it actually be delicious!

Whole wheat pasta with asparagus and a tarragon lemon cream sauce....yum!

Hopefully tomorrow I will have an easier time getting up early to work out. Maybe knowing that I will have to blog about it tomorrow night will inspire me not to flake out. Wish me luck!
