Day 20- Get real. Share something you're struggling with right now.
What do I not struggle with? Okay, I won't use that cop out. Let me think.
Alrighty, I guess I can go ahead and admit I am struggling with staying consistent and vigilant with working out and eating healthy. I have kept off the 22/23 pounds that I have lost and have kind of stalled. I will be doing great, working out 5-6 days a week, making good choices, and then BAM. I skip one day of working out, then it becomes two, three, you see where this is headed. Me laying on the couch after a long day lacking motivation and will power. Throw in cupcakes, ice cream, oreos, birthday cakes, wedding treats and you've got one screwed "healthy eating" plan. I have always said I wish God didn't give me such a sweet tooth. Why can't I be one of those people who just "doesn't do sweets." Because I know what delicious taste like, and it includes all the sweets I just mentioned.
Anywho, I digress. So now you know my fun struggle. I would say it's not an all-encompassing issue, but I guess I do feel pretty crappy when I don't exercise.... and that leads me to feel bad, physically and emotionally... and then that turns into me thinking I'm a failure in teaching, housekeeping, wife-ing (I coined that one, it just seemed like it needed an -ing since the others did.)
I do promise though that I am going to get back on my exercise horse... tomorrow! : )
(See? There's my can-do attitude... track suit included!)
