I'm not sure if this is the right spot to post this but since I have no one that really understands to talk to IRL and since I really feel like sharing with someone, I thought what better place then this forum.
Yesterday was very hard for me, my daughter (who is 3 going on 4 this month) just started preschool and as a stay at home mom since she was born this was the first time I have ever let her go like that. I'm not sure if any other mothers feel the same way as I do but it was very hard (emotionally) to let my little baby go with practical strangers and just walk away. I know, wah, but it was hard for me. It probably doesn't help that it's my TOM so I'm even more emotional than normal.
Anyways, after my husband and I dropped her off it was my lunch time and even though I wanted to (and that little devil on my shoulder said I DESERVED it) I didn't give in to emotional eating urges and I told my husband I wanted to go home to have lunch so I could stay on plan. I ended up staying right on plan all day!
Then this morning I had to wake up at 3 in the morning to take my husband to work (one car family and I need it to take my daughter to her second day of preschool today) and had a very hard time falling back to sleep. I probably got about one crummy hour before my alarm went off telling me it's time to get up and do my workouts. Not only that but before I took him to work I slept really bad (probably because I knew I had to get up and take him and was stressing about it). So needless to say that little devil tried to tempt me to stay in bed, I told him NO! Then he tried to tempt me to do a lighter workout (today I do a harder program on my elliptical that I really have to huff and puff to get through). He almost had me on that one but I fought back and again told him NO! I did my harder program AND my harder yoga program just to spite him!
So today I'm feeling very proud of myself! *pats self on back* I could have easily given into excuses and eaten no no food and not exercised or even just have taken the easy exercise but I knew that would only make me feel worse.
I'll be surprised if anyone reads all the way though my little bragging session but it feels good to see it here and share it!
