Exercise? What's that?! Besides the 3.7 miles I ran with Paul a week ago, Sunday, I've been pretty sedentary. I wish I could blame it on something, but I can't. I was just tired or stressed or busy or had a sick kid. I'm sure I could have but, I just didn't make it a priority. I had these grandiose plans of getting to bed by 10, up at 5 to start laundry and do at least 30 minutes on the treadmill. Then, MWF's I was going to take a weight class at the gym. No dice.
Weight Loss? Not a complete failure, but I didn't lose a single pound. Though, I didn't gain any either. I guess that part's a plus.
Food? Okay, seriously, I think this part has to do with most of my melancholy, blah feeling this past week. The first few days, I was doing okay, but then, stress and life got in the way and it was easier to fall back into old habits than to make a healthy plant-strong meal. My mom bought Chinese food on Thursday, P bought hot dogs, soda and chips that same day which resulted in having those items on Friday because I was busy attending to some other things (like my sick boy).
And then, last night, I made my family a beef soup because a. I had organic beef in the freezer still, and b. I know that they had a hankering for some meat. Me? I ate a salad. I have to say that a little piece of me was cringing as I saw my family eating meat, but I must remember that I want my kids to have a healthy relationship with food. And a little meat won't kill them, especially when its organic beef instead of hot dogs. Right?
I'm in a new mindset today, feeling rejuvenated and motivated. I'm hoping to get some work done this morning and then hit the gym for a 4 pm class, but only after making sure dinner is ready to be prepared when we walk back in the door. Well, that's the plan. Let's see what life throws at us.
