When I found out about my 5-year-old daughter needing her 2nd open-heart surgery I was thrown into the roller coaster of emotions and some days just trying to do the normal daily things where challenging. I did finish my 90 days of Chalean Extreme but did not feel like doing my 90 day pics. :( Man I wish I did.
While in the hospital I drank my Shakeology when I could make it and didn't eat much and when I did it was not very healthy. I allowed myself to get back into some bad habits of drinking soda to get the caffeine to help me stay awake since I barely slept. I made some poor food choices just to eat something and not crash. Excuses...yeah some of it is but at that moment I was more focused on taking care of my fragile daughter then myself. I knew it would be temporary and I would get back on track in a few days.
Well those few days turned into a few weeks. I see the result of my actions and not happy one bit. I feel horrible, the scale is creeping up, my back pain is getting worse and the list goes on. Well that stops TODAY!!!
I will not allow a few difficult weeks to take over all that I worked so hard for this year. Why am I telling you all this? When you tell others your goals and what you are doing you tend to stick with it and hit those goals. So...I'm putting it on here. TODAY..not tomorrow..not next week...TODAY I'm going to eat healthy, drink more water, kick soda to the curb, no eating Halloween candy and do some kind of exercise even if its taking the kids for a walk. These are reasonable goals for today!
I plan to start Turbo Jam this week and get back to my daily exercise routine and meal planning as well. Planning is KEY to success...I know it because I've done it.
