Doing it for me.

Like my little vintage perfume bottle? I found it at a thrift store and it goes on my vanity tray along with all my other cute stuff. *hehe* I can't believe it's already Thursday! Is it me, or is this week just flying by? It feels that way to me anyway. Maybe it's because I've actually gotten off my arse and gotten things done around here. I think now that I'm working out I am having more energy. I mean, it makes sense, right? I dunno man, but I LIKE IT! So far so good, I've worked out everyday since I started working out. Yeah, I know... "But Ana, you just started working out on Monday! It's only been 3 days!" Hey! And it's a big deal. I never stick out to my workouts. LOL I always say, "I have to start working out.", "I'm going to start tomorrow." And I do but the next day I get lazy and don't stick to it. It's hard! But I think I finally found something that works for me. And I am so thankful for the base gym here because they have that little family workout room? So I can put Sofia in the little gated play area and watch her from the threadmill. I mean, she's literally only a few feet away. I can carry a conversation with her as she plays. It's freakin' AWESOME! Yesterday when we went, a lady arrive with her daughter and put HER in the play section too with Sofia and Sofia was just in AWE of the little girl. She had to be at least 2 years older than her but still little, ya know? They played together. Really well. Well... Sofia kept taking toys away from her (you can tell she's an only child! haha) but luckily the girl was nice and didn't mind. She like Sofia too. So yeah, that helps! And what Hubby and I are doing is, we meet at the Gym as soon as he gets off work. That way we work our together at the same time and if Sofia gets fussy or whatever, one of us can entertain her and take over. I feel soooooo good. Mentally and physically. Exercise helps with the stress too. I can tell. I'm in a much better mood after burning calories! Not so blah!

I've always been pretty caring of my figure. I mean, I've always kept an eye on my weight and sometimes allow myself not too get to worked up about it and let myself gain some weight. But normally once I gain too much I stop and do something about it. But ever since I had the baby, I kinda just let myself go a bit. Honestly, I'm not going to sugar coat it, being a SAHM is awesome, don't get me wrong. I LOVE it! I feel so privileged to be able to spend ALL day with my baby but... it can take an emotional toll on you. I found that sometimes when I got overwhelmed with Sofia I'd eat to make myself feel better. And I would catch myself doing it but AUGH. AT that moment, I just didn't care. But I haven't felt comfortable with my weight lately and this last visit to my doctor was just IT for me. The wakeup call that I needed. So... I'm going to work out hard. You don't even know... Once I set my mind to something like this, I do it and I do it till the end! So... I'm really pumped. Sofia's getting older and things are getting easier. Yayyy! Hubby and I are in the works on trying a certain workout routine that's really big right now but I'm not saying what yet until we start it and begin to see results. I can't wait!
