Struggles and Success

Ok, so yesterday I was planning on going to the gym. Guess what?! That didn't happen. Once I even begin to think about not going, even slightly, it all goes downhill and I manage to come up with one excuse or another as to why I can't go. So this morning, I got up with the attitude that I was DEFINITELY going to the gym. I packed our gym bag right away and set out my clothes. We got there around 10:30 and didn't leave until 11:30ish.
Today's workout was just on the treadmill (on a 3 incline).

• I started out by walking for 17 minutes at 3.5 mph (a mile).
• Then jogged for 2 minute intervals at 4mph, alternating with walking at 3.5 mph.
• I repeated that 3 times.
• Then, finished off with walking another 17 minutes at 3.5 mph

My total mileage on the treadmill 2.25 miles, and was 40 minutes for length of time. All in all...I think I did a pretty good job. My goal for the rest of the week is to make it to the gym Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday/Sunday. If I can do that, I will have completed one small goal. I think I need something so I can have some accomplishment.

I think a big problem I'm having, is that I thought I would just be able to jump into it and do it like I did last time I lost weight before the wedding. In reality, it took me awhile to lose it then and get going with the jogging/running. I just need to need to keep my head up, and keep trying. Sometimes, unfortunately, that's easier said than done!
