4 and 17

It's kind of like football but not quite. I've been with this trainer now 6 months.  I'm down another 4% body fat (19%) 7lbs and some inches.  I want to be at 15% body fat and somewhere between 155-160lbs (I know those lbs sound huge but remember I"m almost 6 feet tall).  The merry month of may is crazy around here.  And summer is typically a time I put on weight (weird I know but all those pool parties, cabin trips and vacations add up).  I need a plan and a back up plan and probably a back up back up plan...but I am gonna get there, hopefully sooner than later, but no later than September 7th.

One more note about the 24

I do believe there is a time and a season to most things.  Some of our daily 'time spend' is in our control and some is not.  I don't love spending 45-60 min EVERY night giving Remy an enema; I can think of a dozen other things to do for an hour, but we have to do it.  I think that's why it's so important to not judge how others spend theirs because you never know the whole story.  I just hope to be more conscious and thoughtful about the choices I'm make.

For me,

Why why why

Normally I don't believe in asking why.  But sometimes it's good to know.  You've said it, you've heard it from others... "I'm so busy right now".  This makes me crazy because, duh we all get the same 24hours.  The unique part is that we all get to make our own choices as to how we spend those hours.  I didn't get in bed until midnight for various reasons last night.  I slept like crap and I have a million things to do today blah blah blah just like everyone else.... I was tempted so tempted to skip the gym especially because I had a session with Ryan today and I knew he would kick my butt.  The choice.  I went to the gym.  Sleep would have been nice and I certainly could have chosen to get a jump on my work emails but I chose the gym.  WHY - Because without fail lately whenever I am tempted to give up (for whatever reason) I see someone in the grocery store or pass them on the street that is uncomfortable in their skin.  By that I mean by just looking at them you can tell physically they are hurting.  The lady at kinkos yesterday, super nice, and pretty but so out of shape she was breathing hard helping me work the copier.  My why; I don't want to hurt like that now or in the future.  I realize I may not reach my goals over-night but I am so grateful for the body I do have.
