Not committed

Something isn't working in the motivation center of my brain with this. I'm going to more or less put it on hold until my assignment is due and say that my goals for the next fortnight are to go to the gym at least once a week and to be more active at home - i.e. less sofa and more prancing about the house cleaning up. Also - at least 2, maybe 3 fast days and no more purchases of junk food or sugar. There. Is that ok for now? Oh look, a mongoose. The last goals I had were to shave my legs and buy gym pants. I decided not to buy gym pants because I'm poor. I will just have to wash more. But I have done some things right. I lost weight. I fasted 3 days. So I am actually committed. I'm committed to not giving up and to getting healthy but no need to panic if every week isn't the best. I need to get into regular exercise as a habit and work out how to do that. In two weeks time. 😏
I've done no cardio yet and didn't go to the gym today. I didn't go because I feel like I'm running out of time  to get uni work done. I had uniform shop and it took too damn long.  I actually got dressed for the gym and felt like fat thunder thigh woman from hell in these pants I was wearing. So I put on other pants and put my shoes on and then realised that half my calves were showing, displaying a forest of hairy legs. My other possible pants are all wet. So - the plan is: Buy a new pair of long gym pants on Friday Dry gym pants for tomorrow Shave legs Strength training - tomorrow and Saturday Cardio: Walk to the hospital from the station (or back) on Friday Take the boys scootering on Sunday and walk around the neighbourhood. Do some stretching with the boys after school today and on Sunday. All my other goals for the week are on track.
My goals this week are: 2 cardio sessions of indeterminate duration and type.  3 weights sessions (1 achieved today).  2 sessions of stretching or pilates at home.  Exercises from the chiropractor every day.  2 or 3 fast days depending on whether or not I eat an(other) entire pizza.  No eating after 8pm on non fast days.  Oh crud that sounds like a long list.  Look - a speeding mongoose!  The gym was ok today. It was reasonably quiet at 1pm (Monday).
