Well, Not Really Back

So what happened?!?? Crazy that I could lose track of this exercise blog SO easily! I do hope it's just because it's summer. I have noticed in all the years past- ever since I started doing workouts again back in 2004... that the summer months are harder for me to keep a regular schedule because there are so many road trips and things going on. Plus, it's hot outside and so it's warmer inside even with a/c... and so I just don't feel as excited about doing anything that will work up a royal sweat.

Anyway, I am always thinking about the whole process still. I'm not GONE. I'm just lazy/taking a break/busy/whatever but I'm surely not gone. And I'm always on watch. Paying attention to what I eat, even though I have my splurges of the food porn often. I try to balance it out with the good stuff so at least I won't get totally flabby in a hurry.

I bought Jillian Michaels' book today- Making the Cut. It's not like her first book. I never bought it, nor read it, and can't recall the name of right at the moment- I just know it has a red cover and the word 'Lose' or 'Loser' on it- something that came out when she first got popularity from The Biggest Loser show. Anyway, I think her first book is like a book to get you motivated to start workingout and making changes. A book that offers easy recipes and a plan for beginners. This book, the Making the Cut book I do have- I think is geared more for people who are already working out, but wanting to 'make the cut' or burn off that last bit of fat that is SO hard to get rid of. I've read excerpts of it and it seemed good, and I had a 15% off coupon for Barnes & Noble so I thought I could just dive in. I know a book won't motivate me any more than anything else, if I don't just get my HEAD into the game... but I might find some more useful ideas for a plan.

Can't get my body going again if I can't get my head going first.

At least I have been getting out with the geocaching lately, and although none of it has been any long hikes or anything, it's at least something that gets me out and walking around. And moving alot more than camping out at home, which is what I might be doing otherwise. Still... I know I need to do more intense cardio, and more resistance work- because the walking isn't all that much.

I have things going on this weekend... so maybe I can try to get something going on Sunday or Monday. It IS quite frustrating though- that I'm not able to get as regular with the workouts like I used to be able to do. And I don't even have the kids with me this month!

One day at a time... and I keep myself in it as I go. I guess that's all I can do- and eventually it will come back full-time again.
