I've been sucking. lol

I haven't exercised in a few days...until today that is. The husband was out of town for nearly three days, and with no one to supervise the children, viola....no exercise. That's okay though. I learned that I need to motivate myself even more when he his home to help make up for when he's not. That way I don't feel so bad about myself. I'm hoping in time that I'll be able to still exercise even when he's not home....play group for the girls, a friend to watch em for an hour or so, maybe even a membership to the InShapeCity down the street (which has childcare). SOMETHING. But for now, this is what I've got. *sigh*

I did manage to exercise this morning....hubby was home! And, I decided to go further than before to help make up for the lost days. I even ran about half of the way, which made me feel good about myself. No, it wasn't a full on run the entire distance...I'd staggar run/walk/run/walk because I'm just not up to par yet. BUT, my goal is to be able to run the entire distance, if not more before all is said and done with.

As well, us women have it even harder to stay motivated. WHY? Because of something called "mother nature." I normally love her, but right now, her and her cramps, water retention, and mood swings can go elsewhere damn it! LEAVE ME ALONE! It's messing up my daily weights damn it. I know I didn't gain 2 pounds in a day....hello water....you may leave my body now....

OH! The iPhone has this amazing app. It's called RunKeeper. It tracks your run/walk/bike/hike and whatever for you by GPS and keeps it tracked for ya! It even keeps it tracked on their website, although I'm still trying to figure out how to access it for ya'll to see (the public version that it. I can see it myself. :) ) If you've ever heard of Nike+, it's relatively the same thing, just free. :)

ETA: figured it out! sweet! here's today's info: http://bit.ly/tVPQw
