Well... it finally happened. The inevitable of the metabolism slowing down has found me. All my life I've eaten however I wanted to and never thought of the consequences. I never was one to gorge on sweets and fats, but boy did I eat a lot. I was and am a pretty active, but I was never one to run every day, do push ups or sit ups, or even OWN a gym pass.
These past few weeks I've tried to better, I really have! But now I can't eat the same amount and not expect the same result. Sigh. I know it's all about what you eat and if you are being active on a consistent basis. But ladies, who has the time?? I know I know, it's all about prioritizing and staying motivated. Each week I tell myself, "K Laura, this week you need to go to the gym or run or something every day. Put those chips down!!" And... every day, it doesn't happen. I don't think that I'm overweight or anything, I really don't, but I just feel gross, and I can tell a huge difference when I exercise and eat better. So why don't I do it? I think it would be easier if I had someone to go with, (Brian usually has to work or groans when I bring it up) but I should be going anyway and not use that as an excuse. How do you guys stay motivated? What are ways to help me and Brian GET off our butts?!?!
