The Boy was sick and SO whiny all weekend. Barely slept, so I slept even less! I had a hard time eating right, but did not do bad considering, but I can always do better.
I managed to overcome some 'obstacles' that would have derailed me some in the past. That is a nice little victory. But, I have also found that I have taken on too much to chew this week in my eating goals.
Changing eating habits seems to be one of the absolute hardest things to do. I know that what I eat contributes 80-85% to what I look like. I know that... but somehow, it is still my greatest hurdle. Eating evokes emotion, memories, pleasure. Eating clean still gives me pleasure, but not the other two. Also, since I feel like an ill equipped woman in the cooking area, I don't seem to be able to take pride in what I cook. Great, so there goes the pleasure I thought I was getting out of eating clean! ;)
SO, since I 'failed' my goal on the first day, I thought about why I failed. For me, choosing to go super clean before I even manage to get in 6 cleanish meals a day, is just too much. That is why I reach for the cereal more than once a day. Sure it is all kinds of healthy, no sugar, lots of fiber, flax seed and other goodies in it, but it is not what I need to be relying on. It is quick and easy and I don't have to think. Soothes my screaming sweet tooth, and fills up my belly. Anyway, I have decided to change that one goal. It will be getting in 6 meals a day. Next week I can tackle making breakfast! That will help with the overload of cereal! ;) Oh, and cereal is kind of a comfort food for me too. Weird, I know, but we all have our vices!
As for working out. I really cannot stand how little I get to run on the cardio days with Body For Life. Can't take it! I need running! I am staying within my goals, so I am not changing anything. Lifting harder than last week, that is fun and SO hard. I think I channeled my friend today. She was working with her trainer and said she almost cried it was so hard. At the very same time (though we did not know it) I was pushing myself really hard and hoping that I did not drop the weights, or fart! :-D Seriously, you guys know you have feared that too!
Tomorrow is running, and the next is leg day again. I am shocked that I am not sore from my last leg workout. Oh well. It was good and hard. I could barely walk down the steps when I was done!

Good for realizing the eating thing. If you have to make smaller goals until you get to the big goal, that is way better than considering yourself a failure. I have to get a goal for the breakfast thing also! For crying out loud, run more if you have to - it never hurts.
