Slacking and posting again.

I have been slagging in my posting. Leanna and Amy have both gotten back on the "blogging wagon" and I thought I would join in again as well. Amy actually wasn't off the wagon that long and Leanna has now made up for lost time! Stacey even has a whole new blog up and running! Check it out.

Ok. About me. I measured myself to see if that would make a difference. It did. I lost four inches in two days. Probably because of intense dehydration. Good news is that I don't have any internal growths or anything, and my thyroid appears normal. Also, the medicine that I swear is making me bloated is working and my ulcerative colitis is in complete and total remission - Red Peppers HERE I COME! (just kidding).

I have been exercising and back at the gym.

One thing I learned about myself this past week (when I was slacking a bit) is that I have to get up and exercise early otherwise I get too busy and don't get to it. I know I have learned this same lessons at least 50 times in the past. It's nice to have a reminder.

Is there such thing as exercise alzheimers?

I had a busy day going to the gym, going to brunch (I portioned controlled but lost willpower with the chocolate covered marshmallows!). Went to the mall. Went to my mom and stepdad's and played with my nephews (can you say bench press!) who are good to lift!

Now I'm tired.

"I have to get up and exercise early otherwise I get too busy"

That is true for me at the weekends. During the week I tend to prefer an after work swim but at the weekends if I don't hit the gym/pool EARLY on Saturday and Sunday morning, I end up just wasting time (even if I am doing things like laundry) .... then I look at the clock and it's nearly mid-day and I think it's too late to go now.

I *know* this is the case with me and yet I still fall into this bad habit at the weekends.

Solution: bed early on Friday night, get a good 7 hour's sleep and get up early on Saturday!

Repeat the above on Sunday!

Sounds easy, right?

So why do I always end up dead beat on a Friday night, after a week of work, end up going to bed well after midnight, and then get up late Saturday morning (which setws the precedent for the whole weekend).

I have to get this sorted because I am currently regretting having just wasted part of the weekend just gone. (Not wasted, but no exercise fitted in.)
