Spring fever!

Although I have been working out this week pretty hard, I'm definitely feeling it and it has been a struggle to be motivated to even work out a little!  I pretty much have to force myself to start and really have to internally push myself to keep going!  I usually am fine once I get going, but this week, I am feeling really tired and really feeling my age or older.  My body hurts....it's tired....

I know this has a lot to do with my work schedule and I know that if I could sleep more regularly and for longer increments of time, I would have tons more energy, but that just isn't an option right  now.  I think the sleep that I do get has been pretty quality sleep.  I have been remembering my dreams a lot more lately, so that means that I am getting good REM sleep, right?

My motivation for now is that I have a class reunion in June that I really would like to look better for.  I am aiming for small goals first.  My 10% goal is 189.  Right now I am at 194.5.  4.5 lbs.  This should be achievable in less than a month.  After that, I haven't set another goal, but 10% would be 170 lbs.  I am hoping that once the weather is nice again I will have more motivation to get outside.  Last week it was warmer and I was able to take Halle out in the stroller for 3 walks.  It was lovely!  A little chilly and Halle had to be bundled, but for me it was invigorating!  I had more energy and it made me really excited for the Spring!  I did well on weight watchers last summer, granted I was nursing and on maternity leave....Good luck me!
