The tough eat crap.... 

Its been quite a challenge to keep my eating and exercise routine on track since starting the first DietBet with Jillian Michaels for the Beginner Shred.  In a long list of excuses there have been parties, long days/nights of work, and changes at our house that require time and attention and little to no time to actually buy and groceries let alone fit in a workout.  

The one thing that I have managed to do pretty well with is getting enough sleep in!  No one likes me when I'm tired grumpy and hungry. That is just a bad combination for anyone. I've gotten way closer to back on track this week even with a birthday dinner (I had salmon with brocolini and fingerling potatoes instead of the mac and cheese with bacon that I wanted to order...) and a crazy work schedule (6 days a week for the last 6 weeks). I see some hope for me to actually reach my goal for the game I'm in right now! 1.2lbs down so far and only about 6 more to go. This is going to take some serious hard work over the next two weeks but I truly hope I can do it!

I am scheduling in my workouts to try and make sure they happen. I definitely feel guilty when I write them down and don't get to them. Personal accountability is big for me and the visual reminders are the best way I've found to keep myself on track.  I've cut out a few un-necessary commitments and I'm ready to buckle down. Let’s see if I can make a miracle happen in the next 2 weeks!
