First, Randy and I are settling into life as Mr. and Mrs... it's been fun and I love being married to him! Every day is different and new and fun....ahhh the life of a newlywed! I've mentioned before that my husband is an enormous support to me. He encourages me to keep going, strive toward my goal and is genuinely happy for me when I get just one step closer.
Meanwhile, he loses a few pounds and I am sulky and jealous. I'm working on that... we ARE a team after all-- his successes are mine, right?
We laid in bed one night and had a very serious conversation about what motivates us-- I'd been struggling with motivation at the time. We had just talked about how to serve Christ in the best way in church and one example was to treat your body as a temple and that message really hit home with us. We commited to that as being our motivation. As Christians, glorifying God with our bodies is part of the deal and so far, it's working! I re-think what I eat, how I work out... it's slowly changing my life. What I still need to work on is consistency. Anyone with a little common sense knows that consistency is the KEY to seeing results. DUH: You do it everyday, you're going to get really good at it. The thing is, I don't feel like doing something every day. Some days, (it's rainy and finally a little cold) I'd rather put on my husband's sweat pants and heat up a cup of soup. That's right, I have chronic laziness and it's a beast to cure.

Luckily, I'm working on it. I'm doing Focus T-25, a Beachbody workout that only takes 25 minutes PER DAY! Just 25 minutes. I shoot to do it right after work so then it's done, I can still have time to cook dinner and have my evening to myself. You guys, this is a great program... if you are interested in learning more about it, PLEASE let me know! www.beachbodycoach.com/Lacina13 I'd love to talk with you.
When I lived in Kansas City right after college, I took yoga classes with friends from work. I really enjoyed it then. My gym here has begun offering it twice a week, so to supplement my T-25, I have started yoga twice a week. Last night was my first night back. I'm sore today, but I slept LIKE A BABY last night, woke up sore, but with a ton of energy and and so excited to go back! It's so phenomenal for stretching.
So friends, I guess my point is, you have to find what motivates you and then work on that consistency. That's where I'm at right now and it's so much easier said than done.. kind of like keeping track of my own car keys :)
