Off the Wagon

I have fallen off the working out wagon AGAIN! GRRRRR….  I dont understand what my problem is. I bought the P90X workout off of ebay and was really gungho about it for the first week. My whole body was sore and I felt like it would really work if I could stick with it. I am so frustrated with myself for quitting so soon.  I can already feel my body pudging back out.  Since I have been on so many hormones lately my body is starting to fake pregnancy. I am bloated and am having some horrible cravings without the bonus of being pregnant.  I am embarrassed to say I ate an entire bag of cheeto puffs and bag of reisens chocolates almost completely on my own…in less than 2 days! Needless to say all of this is causing some unwanted weight gain. With my PCOS I will continue to balloon up if I dont get myself under control. I can only imagine how quickly I will gain weight if I actually become pregnant without an already established workout plan. I’ve seen results of other people with PCOS who have become pregnant and some have gained anywhere from 50-100+ lbs! I gained 30+lbs in 3 months during my time at Evansville so I have reason to be worried!

So I’ve decided that asking for encouragement is not enough to keep me motivated! I am going to get drastic with myself.  Starting Sunday, I plan on beginning the P90X workout for real! I will take before pictures along with my weight and measurements and (gasp) will post them for all to see! My thinking is if I am willing to put myself out there completely then maybe I will stick with it.  Its one thing to just tell my faithful readers that I am working out knowing that there is no consequence if I dont stick with it, but if I am expected to post update pictures and stats then there is the consequence of embarrassment if I do not show improvement.

My plan is to post updated weights weekly and updated photos every 2 weeks or so. I am also willing to take any advice on keeping motivated or any tips on how to eat better. If you have any recipes to share or any stories of success in your life I would love to hear them!
