This has been a tough week for me. Emotions have been on a roller coaster, and there’s been a lot of stress. I’ve lost a couple of pounds, but I don’t think it’s been because I’ve been moving 30 minutes a day…because, unfortunately, I haven’t.
I started off well…but then the weekend happened. A baby shower to attend on Saturday, but before that I had to make a gift card holder and the card. Because, since I have spent untold $$$ purchasing supplies for my card-making hobby, I for sure can’t go into Hallmark anymore!
After that – I was speaking at my church on Sunday morning, and had to get that ready plus the visual presentation.
Sunday was church and then a birthday party for my nephew.
I’m not sure what happened to Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I think we went straight from Sunday to Thursday.
I do take comfort in the fact that I know I’m moving more than I did a year ago. And I’m down about 40 lbs. from last year. I definitely feel better, and have had to replace my wardrobe.
I think what works best for me is just getting up off the couch and doing SOMETHING. Dance. Play with the dog. Work in the yard. Just move!

So how do you motivate yourself when you’re really tired, like I am right this minute!, to get up and move? Congrats on doing so well in a hectic week, by the way. I’ve been thinking about you.

goodness..with all your commitments, you were moving! congrats on getting it all done; just the eagerness for speaking at church causes increased metabolism
hang in there…praying those roller coaster emotions can level out and send calming rest…
