Everything is a choice
Today will be a good test of my new resolve. Our younger son hasn’t been sleeping well and last night was no exception, I have been up since 3:45. And instead of having a regular day where I can stick to my schedule we are taking him to see his neurologist. It’s just a regular check-up so I’m not expecting anything crazy to happen but the last time we went for a regular check-up we walked out of her office with a surgery scheduled. It will be good to talk to her, though, since he has had 2 major seizures and tons of little ones since we saw her in April.
So I won’t have access to my regular snacks and we will be on the road during lunch time. To account for this I just ate a bigger than average breakfast to keep me full longer. I am going to pack a ton of snacks in the diaper bag and if we absolutely have to stop somewhere I can always get a burger and just not eat the bun. Not the healthiest I realize but it beats the alternative. Then when we get home there should be enough time to exercize before we pick up our older son. I won’t be able to get in a workout tomorrow because I had already scheduled the baby’s 18 mo appt before I got back on my program but missing one workout isn’t going to sink the ship.
When I was working out yesterday I realized how much I missed it. I feel so strong afterward and it really is a de-stresser for me. And I love the little bit of soreness I feel today, it serves as a reminder that I did something healthy yesterday and I don’t want to sabotage it by making bad choices.
