People, me include, often have trouble setting goals. We too often fear setting goals that are too far removed from our current state that the possibility of "failure" deters us from even trying! I recently had a bootcamper tell me that she doesn't set goals because that way she can't fail. I was really put back by this statement but the truth is when I thought about it, we all do that don't we? I know I sure do!
Just something to think about....
Gratitude
I am very grateful for my health. Getting sick over the weekend and now battling a cold really makes you appreciate being strong and healthy and the fact that I have the ability to fight it and ultimately get srtonger!
Nutrition
So today is the third day of my sugar free journey. I think that getting sick over the weekend with that stomach bug (or whatever it was) and now being smothered with a head and chest cold had really been a gift to me in terms of getting my nutrition back on track too. My appetite has not been the best so I am being very consious of listening to my body and truly eating when I am hungry and feeding my body what it needs.
I feel much better though since going off the sugar already. Maybe a coincidence, but I doubt it. I usually respond well pretty early on when I start cutting the crap out. I am sure it will be reflected on the scale too eventually but that isn't a big concern so I haven't checked and don't really plan to. I just want to be strong and fit and healthy (but a little leaner is an added bonus for sure!)
Yesterday was a good day.
Golden pancakes
salad with chicken
lean burger with lettuce, tomato, light mozza on whole wheat bread
yogurt and strawberries (the only added sugar of the day)
1/2 c. of skim milk.
Tomorrow is Kenny's birthday, still undecided if I will have any of that cake or not....time will tell I guess, lol.
Workout
Yesterday I took it easy. I did a little with my class last night but not enough to call it a workout.
Today is back at my weights and hopefully maybe a hill walk on the treadmill after if the body is up to it. Paying attention and being in tune with my body is key!
