Making Changes...

So, for the past year, I've been doing my working out in the gym in the building where I worked. However, this past week, we moved buildings and the new place doesn't have a gym.. Theoretically they're planning on having a gym, but it's not currently up and running. The hope is to have it up and running by September or October sometime. That is a loooooooong time away.

However, since I knew this was coming, I've made other arrangements. We've got an exercise machine at home that, previously, I rarely used. (the gym at work was just so much more convenient). While doing my time at the gym, I came to realize that I enjoy working out more when I'm watching something. So, now that I'm doing the workouts at home, I've increased my Netflix and created a queue list that only includes episodes of various shows so that I've still got something to distract my brain while I'm beating up my body.

The hardest part of this transition is the timing.. I do my workouts before work now. That means I'm getting up 45 minutes earlier than I'm used to. Today is day 4.. so far so good.
Though, it helps that I have a hubby who would poke me if I neglected to get up. So far I haven't needed that, but I know he's there and awake enough - should I ever need it, to do it. That proves to be good motivation to get out of bed :)

However, today when I did my weekly weigh-in, the scale wasn't so kind to me. I'm back to where I was before my loss from last week. Bleh. But the measuring tape was kinder. My waist and chest are down, my arms came out a little smaller too, and most of the other numbers stayed the same.. so I know there's some progress being made.
