Giving Up Sucks

I just read my last post about the diet and exercise regimen I started with my husband. We did great for 2 weeks, lost some weight and then life took over and we gave up. At first it was "too tired to do the workout today...we will double it up tomorrow". That continued for a few days until we didn't even make excuses anymore. It just fizzled away, never to be thought about again. Well, that's a lie. I DO think about it. I whine and moan about how gross my body is yet I don't do anything about it. Why is that? It is something that can be fixed for goodness sakes! I had been bugging my husband to get our elliptical machine back from a friends house where it was being stored. The HUGE machine has been in our TINY living room now for 3 days and I haven't touched it. Granted, it's been a bad week with the baby not sleeping through the night, work and anything else I can use as an excuse. It's time to get my butt in gear! I am going to make myself a list of goals. Not just with exercise but what I want to accomplish on a daily basis regarding household chores, my kids entertainment, financial stuff, etc. I want to ask my husband to make a list as well and see if we can work on stuff together. Help life be more organized I guess. Let's see if I can at least be successful at this!
