It Must be My Height?

This quiz on SELF.com says that my Happy Weight should be 137. HA!!!!!

I would think more along the lines of 140/145. I maintained that weight in sizes 6 and Smalls for a long time bf pg. I exercised and ate healthly. I was in a maintain mode and I looked okay in bikini. My physician has even told me that with my build going below 140 would look bad.

The quiz asks a few questions about family, smoking, age, height etc. It has to be my height that the number is so low! Im only 5'4. IDK....Ill just keep trucking along.

All I know is im not comfortable right now. And for some reason I cant find that niche I had a few months ago to get me going. I dont know what to do about it. For once I wish I could be a SAHM so I could have hours in the day to workout at the gym but I dont. I want to do what I can now and not wait till AT is older to get serious. I have been serious.....it just seems to not be working. I cant get out of the 150's!!! Its just so hard! Im not whining about the workout part its having a crazy household in the evenings. Even if Im not working out at night and 6pm hour rolls around. Dinner is usually done and I think I need to get moving.....I can use this hr to my advantage....but that boy gets into everything. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH....I know! Im as tired of typing it as you are of reading it!

So after my 8pm departure from the office and a rambunctious 10 month old I wasnt able to drift off to bed till 10pm. So when the alarm went off at 5:30 I didnt budge. The sad part is I was awake I just kept laying there thinking of how I needed to get up. So I guess today is my rest day. I did well with lunch, and have taken several strolls around the hospital to get my steps up. We also plan on hitting the pool tonight after work so I want to get some laps in. Hopefully AT will cooperate long enough in his float I can do that. So dinner will be Subway tonight. Ill get a veggie wrap which Im kind of already excited about!

Since coming back from vacation I havent cooked anything...poor Tim. I plan to get my meals planned out tomorrow for next week. There are a few faves we havent had in a while. I AM getting up in the morning and hopefully getting in a full 30DS level. I need to rotate the 2, cardio one day, 30DS the next. Thats why I want to get the resistance band too. Keep my body guessing.

Enough complaining....Im sorry that all of you who read this blog only see my complaints and failures lately. Im not that motivating anymore :( Im trying, I promise.

No worries on the complaining ... I feel like I do that a lot, too. And it IS hard to find motivation. I haven't had it for over a week. I'm just taking the rest of this week off and hoping to get back on the horse on Monday. You are doing GREAT so far! Even if you think you aren't at a small enough # - I think it's AWESOME that you haven't GAINED weight, ya know? It's better to be at a standstill than to go up!

I hear ya. I wish there were more hours in the day. I don't have much motivation though... not sure why. Just because I don't have time. Good for you for not gaining anymore though. You've done awesome.

Hang in there, you'll find a rhythm.

And complain all you want. Sometimes that's all I want to do too and it's better out than in.
