The only action my carefully-considered workout playlist has seen lately was yesterday when I thought a counterful of dishes might be more easily tackled while listening to a raucous soundtrack. I was mostly right.
It’s been two full weeks since my last workout at the Y. I’m frustrated, but not resigned. Things have been crazy busy, my toddler was sick (and I know there are those people who leave their sick kids in childcare, but I’m not one of those people), and I’ve had a hard time finding solid ground.
I miss it so much, though, and I feel – literally FEEL – the backslide into lesser health.
My goal (because I have a very busy day on Monday) is to get there on Tuesday, and then resume regular attendance. PLEASE get on my case about this! Comments, wall posts, tweets, emails – all are welcome!

You can do it Stacey! And if you don’t go to the Y on Tuesday, you are coming to work out with me on Wednesday and I will KICK.YOUR.BUTT.

I promise I have not abandoned you. My in-laws are here for a week, I just spent a couple days running Hood to Coast, blah blah blah. With guests in the house, I’m using my office as a bedroom so I’m not on my computer. (I’m on DH’s laptop because I haven’t checked email in days!)
I agree – YES, you can do this! Yes, you WILL do this. Would you like to get on some sort of schedule? Or are you the tough love type (no booting the computer until you hit the gym)?
No beating yourself up. You haven’t failed until you’ve given up. Good luck getting to the Y! Catch you later.
