So I'm a lot stronger than I thought!!! I did great for Christmas. I didn't do it traditional with my kids, typical turkey and all the sides we had last month for thanks giving. We ate Bbq, with salad, Louisiana dirty rice, potatoe salad, and gumbo. I made healthy sides so that I could still follow my diet while my family still can enjoy the things they like to eat. Lord knows I wanted some ribs and potato salad!!! Lol.... Doing this diet bet is helping me learn more about me. It's also helping me to stop being so indecisive with myself. My no's are my no's and my yes's are yes's and I don't second guess them. I'm pretty proud of that. Working out has been a struggle,but I have somehow found the time to get it done twice a day!!!! I do a 30-55 min yoga in the morning and my scheduled walk/jog interval at night after work. Saturday's and Sunday's are my rest days or at least I try to make them off days cause on those days I still see myself doing a 15-30 min yoga practice. I also have incoporated this thing I call my fav 5. It's my 5 favorite excercises and I just do them randomly watching t.v or listening to a book. Each week the reps go up the starting count for each exercise is 20 then it moves up 5reps each week this is to help me with strength exercises my fav 5 are:
bicycle crunches
pushups
leg lifts inner and outer
donkey kicks
and can't forget the squats ( I freaking LOVE squats!!!!)
it's funny how I feel like I know what I have to do and I feel good when I do it, but let there be something that emotionally effects me, then all of these things I am doing may have the potential of shutting down. I know my weaknesses but im willing to work on them everyday to renew me. something has got to give!! It's either my life or my weight and unhealthy life choices I make. I chose life, for me and my boys so I have to do my best to make life the best. I live in my struggles everyday but that doesn't mean I have to succumb to them. Again going into the next week I make a bet on me!!! Not the new year will I make a resolution I do it everyday to keep me grounded, to keep me focused, I need that. This blog is my accountability. it helps to see where you started, Where you head is, where you wanna be, where u are now. I can't wait to read back on all of this!!!
Im so off subject!!! but as this week closes I just know it's not going to be any easier than it was getting this week started... But this blog will remind me just how crazy this week was, how I made it though and continued on......
