Well, it's me again. And I'm doing the same thing I'm doing every time I write here after a long absence... I'm starting over. I'm a bit frustrated with myself, but as my sister in law said "Tomorrow is a new day, and thank God for His grace." My good friend Robyn posted something on Facebook a while back that said "If you are tired of starting over, stop giving up." AMEN! That's my new motto, it runs through my head now every time I thinking about caving in and having a giant bowl of ice cream, or every time I think about sitting in front of the TV instead of exercising.
So, here I am again, trying to get my self motivated and back on track. Today marked the beginning of our 8 week Fitness Challenge at Stroller Strides. I'm going to really push myself this 8 weeks. I am setting a goal of exercising 4-5 times a week and eating no processed foods. I'm also going to avoid sugar for the whole 8 weeks too. Now, this is not a weight loss adventure for me, but rather a way to FEEL my best.
As part of our challenge Robyn asked us to food log, so here's my food log for the day:
Breakfast - Protein shake with 1 TBS of peanut butter blended in
Snack - Fage Greek Yogurt with Strawberries
Lunch - Tuna salad (relish, celery, eggs, mayo) on a bed of romaine lettuce and avocado
Snack - Banana and a bit of beef jerky with a few almonds
Dinner - Two links of chicken sausage, squash, salad and brown rice
Snack - I haven't had one yet, but I'm planning either a rice cake or apple with some Dark Chocolate PB I bought.
Today was a good day. That's all I can do, one day at a time. Let's do it!!
