Wanna stop?

This hasn't been the best week so far, I have barely managed to crawl out of bed all week - but at least I am still eating good. I don't know why I have been so tired, I have been going to bed around 8:30/9:00 but when that alarm rings in the morning at 5:30 I just don't want to get up and Kris doesn't help because he never gets up first. It is even light out and I am sleeping great so I know I am not tired, I would never be able to fall back to sleep anyway so what is my deal? We did manage to make it out of bed this morning and we started working out (half ass on my part) but ended up quitting about 5-10 minutes early because, well I don't know why, we saw dog puke on the floor but its not like it had to be cleaned up right then. I wasn't feeling it and I guess Kris wasn't either. I think Kris has hit a plateau which has him discouraged and I am just so tired in the morning. We lay in bed and talk about how we wish we had ice cream and watch the food network. Kris mentioned there were Dove chocolates in the top of the closet still, I told him I would eat one if he would get it but we both agreed the top of the closet was way to far to go so we just laid there watching tv with a frown on our faces. It has been a month, it is easier overall but maybe the new killer workout routine has us feeling a bit blue, this routine is longer, more cardio and it simple hurts. It will get easier I know, but for now I would rather complain and feel better.

Much Better

I felt so much better last night - I had SO much more energy. I was hoping the energy would eventually come to me. I figure there are 4 key points to this whole lifestyle change that I have had to overcome.
1- Waking up earlier. Instead of waking up at 6:30 we are waking up at 5:30. It was hard at first and there will be days that I won't want to get up out of bed but having Kris next to me motivates me to hurry and get up before he does hehe.
2- Working out. Working out can be hard, right now it is kicking my butt and today seemed harder but it is going faster. Some days I am just not motivated to try very hard. The first day I felt sick, my teeth hurt and I had no fun but I am not pushing myself that hard, there is no reason to get sick and be in pain. Now I take the workout slower, at my own pace, do what I can, I try to push myself some but I have issues with cardio. I just bought a pilates DVD that I want to try with Summer and I need something to take with me on vacation in two weeks.
3- Eating Less. It is hard to change your diet. The hardest part in the beginning is the amount, eating about 1/3 to 2/3's less can be really hard. By day 1 I was ready to quit but it helped to read other blogs about some people I know who are trying to save starving people in Africa - Darfur. Those people are hungry, I am not.
4- Energy. I have had some issues with energy, it comes in waves, some days I have more than others. For a while I had almost none, not to mention I am tired at night because I am getting up so early.
Overcoming those 4 things can be done and I know I will feel better soon.
