Mari Got Her Groove Back!!!

I am only on day three, but I feel like I have finally got my groove back.

Losing my motivation sucked. I knew what I needed to do and how do get there, but for some reason a wall was stopping me from progressing.

I should not let the military be the leading factor in my decision to get fit, eat healthy and take better care of myself.

I am completely miserable when I do not work out. I have no energy and spend the day sleeping. I was seriously beginning to feel like a fat slob and I have not felt that way in years.

I was proud of what I had accomplished last year (Walked one 5K, Ran a 10K and completed the Frederick Half Marathon) and I hope to get there again in the near future.

I try to do a multitude of exercises when I work out. I do not want to get bored and I want to break up the monotony. I try to incorporate Yoga, Strength Training, Aerobics and Balance Games into my daily workouts. These, of course are all part of the Wii Fit Plus. I also like to do Zumba, I may not be coordinated, but, oh man what a workout.

Part of my issue was letting my back injury get the best of me. In actuality, I injured it 10 years ago and it was aggravated this last summer because of how hard I was pushing myself. It was an important push, which taught me a lot about myself. But, once the summer was over, I let everything fall to the wayside...

I recently came to the realization that I need to spend some time concentrating on me. No, that does not mean that I am going to stop taking care of everyone else, because, ah, well, let us be honest, there is no one else. My husband does his best, but he is the bread winner... Need I say more?
