Starting over

Over the past few weeks I have become disenchanted with dieting and exercising. Been doing this since January and to be honest I don't think I am going to count calories for the rest of my life so I have become lax on logging. I have continued to keep a mental count of calories and have tried to stay active during the past few weeks so the weight has not really gone up. I am up 1.2 lbs this morning however TOM is on his way. I know I haven't ate enough this weekend to warrant a 1.2 weight gain so I am not going to sweat it. I think most of my lack of motivation is the fact that I have been working two jobs lately. I am trying to work it smart and only work the extra job on my days off however needless to say I am tired. So starting today even though I am still going to work my two jobs I am going to reinvent my routine and make time to do my exercise routine no matter what. I mastered the calorie counting a few months ago by logging my food the night before. This allowed me plenty of motivation to exercise especially if I wanted to splurge on some calories. I also knew if I had calories to spare so that I could indulge with the family if I wanted to. Making brownies in the evening is our biggest down fall.
Starting Chalean tonight. Supposedly my "significant other" is going to start it with me. I say supposedly because I know he doesn't really want to. He's using me as an excuse to NOT do it cause I want to do it in the morning and he wants to do it at night and states he " probably won't do it unless I do it with him." Either way I am getting back up on the exercise/logging band wagon this morning. I have 5 weeks till vacation and 10 lbs I want to lose, Planning on doing Biggest loser Power Walk dvd as well as chalean today. Do y'all think it would be bad doing both Chalean and Biggest Loser Cardio Max at the same time? Cardio max is a 6 week program where Chalean is a 90 day program. What do you think?
Also could use some new "*kitten* kickers" to keep me in check. I really want to finish this weight loss goal and get into maintainable weight mode. I NEED to do this. I am GOING to do this. 10 lbs to go is nothing compared to the nearly 40 I had to start with.
