Adjusting my sights

So it's been 4 months and I haven't thought twice about this blog. Why you ask? Well, I was too busy swimming, heading to the gym with all my kids, or taking said kids to dance and karate. Oh yeah and I potty trained my youngest boy. That's right, no more diapers. Triumph!! Besides that, I'm down 10 pounds from my last post. In fact, even better, I'm out of the 160's!! I finally reached 159 this past week. I've been pretty consistent in the gym until a couple of weeks ago. The weather has been cooling off and I got a bike and trailer for my birthday this summer. It's so awesome!!! My son and I ride over into the acreage neighborhood and look at all the animals. It's a great time. So I've canceled my gym membership to be renewed next summer when I absolutely cannot exercise outside. I've also been working in the chicken's yard. There's much to be done and it's all manual labor. What better way to get a workout?! I've bought some new clothes because my others just don't fit. Awesome right?! I still have 24 pounds until I reach my ultimate goal, but my next goal milestone is to start getting up at 5am. Not necessarily to exercise, but to get stuff done before my family wakes up. That way, I won't get behind so easily on my daily routine. Usually when that happens, exercise is the first thing out the window. So instead of focusing on my weight number, I'm focusing on getting back a habit that I've lived before and LOVED!! It's going to be a great change.
