Duh!

Ok folks so I came to a conclusion. I'm not exercising enough. I really am eating about the same as I did through the whole shemozle where I was losing (remember me always saying how I ate more than you?) I just eat a lot. It used to be ok when I was burning calories like crazy. I was doing something every single day in the summer. Running m, w, f, weights and running t, th! Usually a bonus on the weekends! No wonder I feel in a funk! I am!

So here's my realization. Just cause it's yucky out and class was cancelled monday, doesn't mean that I couldn't work out. Just because it's dark at 7:30 doesn't mean that I can't leave the house. Here's my new plan:

I get off work at 4:30 every day. So sweet. Usually I don't get home until 5:30 because of my 20 minute commute plus groceries or other shopping I stop to do or errands or whatever. First of all, we have no money for me to be shopping with so that can stop. And I can replace it with GYM TIME! Duh. As I'm still registered as a full time grad student (paying full time tuition, though I'm working full time, go figure that one out hey?) I still have access to the school gym for free so why not take advantage of that? I said free people!

So the plan is now to go to the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays after work. Shouldn't be a problem. the gym might be busy at these times but it's a really good gym with lots of machines so I'll be alright. Even if I'm waiting for a machine or have to use a boring one, it's still going to be more work that I'd get at home on the couch right? I'll probably only get in there around 4:45 at the earliest and then try and workout for an hour or 45 minutes so I'll just be getting home around 6:00 which is what time hubby gets off work anyway. So I'll either have some sort of quick supper planned and it will be ready right away or maybe he'll have to help me make something! shocker!

I'm really excited for that. Sorta wish today was going to be one of those days. But of course I don't have my gym stuff here or anything anyways, plus I've got my step tonight already. So here's to me not forgetting my stuff tomorrow and getting organized tonight and finally shaking this funk!
