Getting up with the mindset that today will be totally on plan. I need this!
Last night I was looking at old threads that I started. It's interesting, since I'm still saying the same things, 5 years later LOL. I found a thread by this same title, and found it uplifting, so I thought I would start it again. We all make choices every day, many of them good. Lets have a spot to share them.
went to the gym and had the workout. i literally had to force myself out of bed, in the car, in the gym and onto a machine. But once i started, boy oh boy...did i have one of the best workouts today. i am so glad i did it...
I bought another one of those wonderful cantaloupes from the farm today. This time I came home and immediately offered some to my DS so I wouldn't gobble it all. He said, "later" so I'm on the hook now for not eating the rest of it.
But seriously, later?? I can't imagine being presented with something scrumptious as a kid and not wanting to eat it NOW. Hopefully this portends well for his adult weight... He's a slim kid now; hopefully that continues.
I don't know why I'm so willing to stray off plan. At Wal-Mart, I actually pointed my cart at the candy aisle. I actually contemplated. Then I came to my senses and turned my cart back around.
One good choice I made today was to look-up the calories for everything I ate and post them on an online calorie-counting site. (It's my first day of calorie counting.)
I was doing the classic couch potato and I thought "nah, not doing anything today, I have been working hard lately." I ended up suddenly disagreeing with myself, getting up, and doing the workout! It was like a moment of "hey, I have been working hard lately, so I have to keep up!"
I chose Trader Joe's grilled chicken over Kentucky Fried Chicken! OH, and I left my desk to go to the gym at 5PM, then went back to my office and finished up some work that had to get done. I feel so cheated when I don't get to work out because something happened at the office that day!
I went for a walk, and went to bed at half past nine last night. I've been so tired! Also, I ordered a protein supplement. I'll see how that helps, or doesn't.
Off to do squats now that Kid3 is leaving for school
