If you are on my facebook page, (my personal one) you know about the
struggle with the honey bun this weekend. I ate one on Sunday morning
because I had nothing in my house to eat and I was too lazy to go ONE
MILE to the store... well, I paid for that honey bun. My stomach felt
like it weighed 1000 lbs. I had an indescribable HEAVY feeling and
instead of being fueled and energized, I felt lazy and just blah. I have
managed to drink one gallon of water per day! :) (give or take a few
sips here and there from my little vultures) :)
I
noticed that my dilemmas arise when there is no food in my house. No
healthy food anyway... And I noticed you can't buy tons of healthy stuff
at one time. The shit goes bad FAST. When eating clean you have to
remember to only get a few days worth... somethings are fine but fresh
fruit and veggies don't last as long because there's no preservatives in
them. I know this is a DUH moment for you guys but for me, its news.
See, I HATE GROCERY SHOPPING. But I have learned to enjoy it now that
I'm eating healthy... I do enjoy coming up with new clean things to
eat... Its also a lot more pleasurable when 4 kids aren't with you
asking for everything in the whole dang store!
School
started back today (well, technically yesterday since I'm up blogging at
12am) My kids were excited... well, except for my oldest who started
middle school... BUT he came home happy and excited. I think it was just
nerves to start with...
My kids ask me every day if I
ate healthy today or if I need more water. :) that makes me happy. I
still haven't measured (i'm literally terrified to) and I bought a new
scale but the dang thing won't work. No, my big ass didn't break it... I
took it out the box and put new batteries in it and it won't turn on...
I'm interested in seeing if I've lost any but I don't really care. :)
my main goal right now is to get this eating thing down so I dont have
anymore honey bun moments!!!
Couch25K starts next week.
I'll actually be running. YIKES! If you see me at the park, don't judge.
I love the idea of running, I really believe it will be relaxing and
awesome but I haven't gotten there yet. Right now, it scares me because I
know its going to be hard. Once I get over the initial hurdle of doing
it, I'll be fine... gotta crawl before you can walk right? or is it walk
before you can run?? haha either way...
Next week I
also give up everything but water. I have been getting diet drinks when I
go out... that stops this week. I should have stopped it before now,
but I was clinging on to it for dear life... my last bit of my old life,
I guess... I would give it up this week but I need coffee to get me
through the long nights I'll be facing this week to get caught up with
work... I have only had ONE diet drink per day, if that. Today, I had
NONE but yesterday I had a diet dr pepper at Chic Fil A... by the way,
Chic Fil A's wraps are AH MAZING! 390 calories and I don't even have to
put any dressing on mine! The chicken is juicy enough and yummy enough
to work out without anything... (for me anyway) Who can go to Chic Fil A
without eating an actual chicken sandwich or nuggets or WAFFLE FRIES?
But I'm determined to do better so I ordered the char-grilled cool wrap
with the fruit instead of the fries... YUMMY! :)
If any of you guys want to send me any yummy healthy recipes please feel free! My email address is wendygetsfit@gmail.com
I
also take advise and very much appreciate it! I'm new to this whole get
fit world so, hook a sista up if you know something I don't! :)
Have A Healthy Day!

Hey Wendy! Your posts are very inspiring. I'd just like to say that Pinterest is an awesome place to get good ideas for foods. I also use an online recipe clipper called Ziplist that automatically saves recipes you add and puts what you need on a shopping list. It's quick to move things to it and you can clip from anywhere on the web using the extension in your browser. It helps me stay focused on buying good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to check out the Ziplist the person above me suggest!! Sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up Wendy!! Did you see the obstacle course race I am doing in 2-3 weeks.... I was putting it off saying I wasn't ready for a LONG time... but someone told me "its not about being READY, its about rather you WANT to do it or not, if you WANT to, you WILL." At that moment I registered for the race... and on PURPOSE I didn't buy the insurance to cover the purchase in case I changed my mind... cause HAD I bought that insurance, I would have opted to use it 1000 times before the race! :-) Put your mind to it...
