Waist Watcher Wednesday: Week 16

This is a weekly link party for everyone wanting to get back in shape, where we can post/comment our stats and offer each other helpful advice, workout ideas, what works for you, what doesn't and just generally support each other so that when we think about giving up we will have bloggy friends to lift us up again!

So, I will post one inspirational thing, a workout that I want to try, or something workout related every week, and I encourage you to do the same! Let's inspire each other into getting healthy this year and making our waists disappear!



I need some major inspiration. I've been MAJORLY slacking for a few weeks now, and it seems like my living situation is just GETTING IN THE WAY. We have one car, so if I want to go to the gym during the day I either have to get Natalie up early (NOT FUN) or get him to bring the car back to me at lunch. (not always easy to do) Then I have the problem of someone to watch Natalie while I'm working out. There is no daycare at the gym from 12-4 (aka LUNCH) and that's the best time for me to go. So most of the time, I don't go during the day unless someone is available to watch her, and most of the time it's not possible. So I think, I'll go after work. But weekends are super busy, and I don't get home until late, so I usually don't go Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Mike doesn't like me to go on his days off, so that takes out Sunday and Wednesday. That leaves Monday and Tuesday as possible days to work out. NOT ENOUGH. So, what do I do?

I don't go.

Not. Good.

I know it sounds like an endless stream of excuses, but I'm seriously trying to figure out a way to get around this. It will get better when the gym move is over (they're building a better facility) and they have the daycare all day. Until then, I'm stuck.

And I have to admit I'm a little selfish too, because I don't like having to give Natalie away to go work out at the gym for an hour, because then I don't get to spend any time with her, so unless someone can come over to my house to watch her I usually just tell them no. Is that mean of me?

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

How did you do this past week?

My stats:

REACTION: Nothing. I will get back to losing this week! I mean it!

Previous: 34.5

To make things a little more fun, each week I will choose a random linker to put up as a STELLAR WAIST WATCHER OF THE WEEK. You will get a button with the link back to your blog and it will stay up for the whole week! How cool is that?

This week's Stellar Weight Watcher of the week is: Jen @ Intend to Live! Congrats girlie! You were the only one to link up with me again last week, and I appreciate it! Hopefully the other girls will come back this week, and we'll have some more fun!

Check out the other linkers and leave them a comment with some kind words! We are all going to need a kick in the pants or a hand to help us up throughout this process! It will also keep us all accountable if we know our bloggy friends are watching!
