Week 2

So sorry everyone that I have not posted in the past week. Hubby came home from deployment so we are all adjusting and have been very busy. I plan to get on top of this, and post a lot more often. I have been working out and clean eating for 2 weeks now. The challenege group is starting its 2nd week though. I have not lost any weight yet but my pants are starting to get loose so I know I am making progress. My weakness is putting off my workout till after dinner, but after dinner im full and tired. I need to start getting up with matt when he leave for PT so I can get my workout in before Mikayla wakes up. That is my goal this week, to wake up by 6am. My challenge is to show matt that clean eating isnt weight loss eating, its a way of life and not a diet. You dont have to eat processed foods and junk food to be a man. He eats with me but I can tell its because im cooking and he doesnt want to cook for himself so there arent many other options. I feel bad for him, but Im sticking to my guns. We lived his lifestyle for the first 2 years of our marriage and I put on 40 pounds. Obvessly that is not going to work for me. This change in lifestyle has started a few arguements with us. He does not like change. But I need this, or I will die of being fat literally. When I have a minute this week I will post a few recipes that I have tried out, and I have found my staple for my eating. Clean eating taco salad. I cant get sick of it, and it taste almost sinful lol. I love it. This week in our challenge group we have to quit thinking negativly about ourselves and think of 3 words to switch out that we say to ourselves. Im going to have to think on this tonight. I will post them when im finished. Our coach said something that really spoke to me. Would wouldnt say the negitive things you say to yourself to your spouse, child, mother or father right? And Im an honest person so I may say the things I say to myself to some people but I cant imagine telling mikayla she is fat, lazy, unmotivated, or that she cant do something. So I need to start speaking to myself in a positive way. Keep checking in, Ill be posting when I have a few minutes here and there this week.

  1. That part of what Marlena said got to me too! And it is such a great way to put things into perspective! Keep up what you're doing. We're in this for the long haul, no giving up!
