Work, Life, Moving, and Other Distractions

Seriously! Life is nuts and working out isn't happening.  Life is insane and eating right is more of a fantasy than a reality!  I get that I took a 3 month hiatus from the gym in order to spend more time working on the inside rather than the outside but this just stinks! I had no idea how hard getting back into the routine of working out would be.  Between pulling 50 hour work weeks, not sleeping, planning my move, surviving (no exactly living) life, and managing everything else life is throwing at me these days, I am lucky to get a meal in let alone a work out!

One thing I learned from my "brilliant" plan of gaining weight for the competition at work...it is way easier to pack on the pounds than it is to get them off! I have also found that I don't like being heavy.  I didn't think 17 measly pounds would be that big of a deal but on my 5'3" frame it was a HUGE deal.  My jeans are tight, my energy is down, and I feel gross.  This feeling of grossness doesn't do much for my motivation factor.  I just want to sleep and wear sweats all day!!  My move is also not helping.  I am having a hard time finding a gym that is close to my new home and doesn't have year long commitments and isn't crazy expensive.  I am also trying to figure out my new schedule for workouts as my commute is about to quadruple and traffic is not exactly friendly on Eagle road which I have to take to get to work daily.  Just typing out all of the reasons I am epically failing at OMH is overwhelming me and the need to find a Snickers bar and cheeseburger is great! 

Ok...enough of my excuses. Time to get off the couch and get busy in the gym!
