Okay, first off this is Tyler. I am trying to be motivated to lose some weight and get in shape. Usually what stops me is that even when I set my alarm for 6, I still wake up and turn off the alarm and sleep an additional 30 minutes. At night I get home to late and spend my time playing with Spencer (which could be considered exercise, although I don't count it.). I then eat dinner and then get on the computer, watch TV or read a book. I have decided some things that might help me to exercise is to set up a time to exercise with someone else. Like tomorrow I am going to go running with one of my bosses, who happens to live down the street. This is pretty good motivation because one I know someone is counting on me to be there. The second reason is because he is one of my bosses, I don't want him to get mad at me for failing to show up. So hopefully that will help.
Another tactic I am going to try, since I really like candy is I will not eat any candy, unless I have worked out that day. So wish me luck, I wish you all luck as well.

All about me:)
Ok, so I have not done a great job of keeping up with this blog! I'm sorry to one and all. I'll first talk about where I am and where I want to be.
Where I am now:
I am around 140 lbs. I eat what I want when I want. I don't eat healthy foods. I like to eat junk food, especially chocolate. I do not exercise. I mostly sit around all day and hold my baby.
Where I want to be:
I want to weigh what I did prior to my pregnancy or around there. I want to be in shape and tone my muscles a little. I use to be very flexible. I want to be in the same state I was in my senior year when I danced everyday. I know it may not be exactly the same since my life has drastically changed since then, but I would like to be as close as possible. I want to eat better as well. I need to eat more on a regular basis and eat healthy foods.
How am I going to achieve this?
I am going to try to exercise everyday for 30 minutes when I get the ok from my doctor. I'm going to warm up like I did in dance. That way I can get flexible again. I am going to try and use the treadmill for my choice of exercise since the weather is getting bad. As for food I just need to make better choices and think before I eat.
As for mom's challenge......The things that are making it hard to achieve my goals are....
1: I am just too tired to do anything else but sit around and sleep
2: I have a newborn who is not on a schedule yet so its hard to exercise. I finally get him to sleep put him down then he wakes up.
3: I want to wait till Jeff is home to watch the baby so I can exercise, but that is late at night and by that time I just want to spend time with him and then sleep.
4: I still am having some pain so I don't want to exercise and make things worse.
5: I love junk food and it makes me happier especially since I'm so tired.
6: The season for fresh fruits is coming to a close so its hard to eat healthy for me when I love them so much.
Those are my excuses. They are not that valid I guess but they are the reasons why I am having problems. I just need to get motivated.

Challenge to all!
I am challenging all of you who are part of this to make a post this week telling what you do that helps you achieve your goals OR what stops you from doing things to reach your goal.
Mine is afternoons, I am usually really tired at that time of day and I just want to sit on a chair and read a good book or watch something on TV. But the problem is that once I sit, that is all I want to do. Then next thing I know the evening is over and I have done nothing. One thing that helps me is if there is nothing to watch on TV. So right now is a bad time, since there is baseball playoffs, Amazing Race, Survivor, Dancing with the Stars, football, and even pre-season basketball. What is a girl to do????
