Proud of myself!
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. :carrot:
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!
