I know that I've been slacking off these last couple of weeks. I haven't been exercising and I haven't been at all careful about what I've been eating. Both of which are completely my fault. I could say that I haven't been to the gym because Michael hurt his back and hasn't been able to exercise, but that would be a pretty sad excuse. The fact is that I just didn't feel like going. Okay, I never feel like going, but that's not good enough. I've let myself get horribly (for me) fat and I feel crappy about it.
The sad thing is that I'm starting to fall into that 'good enough' mind-set. The thought, "I know that I'm overweight, but I'm not nearly as bad as a lot of people that I see every day." creeps in and I find myself saying, "I don't really need to go to the gym, I'm fine the way I am. It's a natural part of getting older" 'Good enough' is a very bad thing...
So, I'm sitting at my desk with my giant bottle of water, steeling myself for The Return to the Gym. I'll have to start small (again), but in a week or two I'll be back up to running for 45 minutes at a stretch and lifting like there's no tomorrow. As long as I can stay persistent, I should reach my goal by October.

So would this be Megan Wesley? I don't think I know any other Megans...lol...or maybe I do. It is so good to hear from you!!! Let me know how you have been. My email is lebel541@msn.com, I totally know what you mean about settling and comparing yourself to other people you see. I do that too, plus I have had four kids and I am always thinking considering I have had four kids I look pretty good. Finally good enough was actually pretty bad.
Hi there Megan, this is Jenny Irwin (Le Bel). You'll have to forgive me, I'm a bit of a blog stalker and you left a message on Cindy's blog. If you'd like to email me and catch up my email is jsle_bel@hotmail.com. Hope all is well with you.
