Get on your bikes and ride!

During yesterday's workout, I decided to change it up and try out the stationary bike rather than the elliptical machine. After that, I did some ab crunches and something that can be compared to a row machine, without the sliding back and forth and only works the arms/back. I feel pretty good about the hour workout, being that I REALLY didn't want to go. I'm not a emotional eater, I'm not one who can run or bike for miles to work out whatever inner turmoil I've got - what I am is someone who wants to just be still and be left alone when I'm down. But, being that I didn't want to derail my idea of going only twice to the gym this week, I channeled my inner personal trainer and got my butt to the base.

I've been slowly refining my workout music and I've found the most motivating music I've got can also be labeled under 'guilty pleasures'. Along with a whole bunch of songs by Black Eye Peas, Daft Punk, early-to-mid-90's dance music and a handful of Pussycat Dolls, I also rock to:
- Avril Lavigne "Girlfriend"
- Erasure "A Little Respect"
- Ace of Base "Beautiful Life"
- Bjork "Big Time Sensuality"
- Missy Elliot "Get Your Freak On"
- Red Hot Chili Peppers "Higher Ground"
- Brittany Murphy/Paul Oakenfold "Faster Kill Pussycat"
- Crush "Jellyhead"
- Blu Cantrell "Hit 'Em Up With Style"

Mama's got a brand new goal

I no longer have the wedding celebration in the spring of 2012 to lose all of my weight, but I do have to keep in mind a goal of some sort in order to keep myself motivated. There is a wedding in Austin for one of Scott's old high school buddies that takes place in October. That gives me 3 months to lose as much weight as I can.

I just got back from a week in Kentucky while we visited my in-laws. Now, it's literally crunch time. I have been running around paying visits and moving our home. Far too many things have been distracting me and giving me excuses to not going to the gym. Now I have to get myself disciplined.
