Push Back Is Needed At Times.....

I am sitting here trying to get my body into rest mode and am unsuccessful. I went to the gym after work and my body is in overdrive at the moment. It is 2:13am and while I am laying here typing I am thinking to myself sleep is needed....

My day did not start off normal as I decided to lay around and did not eat my structured meals as I normally do. The first piece of food I put in my mouth was not until 11:30am....that is a no go!
I did not eat enough food today which could result in my body thinking it is starving and wondering when it would get its next meal...end result fat will be stored!!

Today my meal consisted of:
Breakfast: (well it was not really breakfast...too late in the day)

• 1 Light Multi-Grain English Muffin
• 1 Tsp. Peanut Butter
• 1 Gala Apple

• Seemed like I missed out on a lunch....My next meal was dinner....A funny story for you...or not really funny but made me realize you need people in your corner that will pull the plug on your excuses. I was considering what to eat for dinner. I was having many cravings that I think stemmed from me not eating like I should have. I came to the conclusion that I wanted some french fries so I thought to myself...Wendy's....french fries and a 5 piece chicken nugget would hit the spot. I called my boyfriend and said do you think it would be really bad if I had chicken nuggets and french fries from Wendy's? He responded yes...you know you cant have two fried items....he said right..I played silent...and then I said in a child has been scolded type of voice "yeah"...He proceeded to ask how many calories where in both...I looked it up on line and of course it was not good so I tried to come up with some other combinations....1. Baked potato w/ sour cream & chives with a small chili, 2.chicken nuggets w/ small chili, 3. spicy chicken wrap with a small chili.....I then decided on the spicy chicken wrap with a small chili but felt ashamed that I wanted that instead of opting for a salad. I reminded myself that I had left over spaghetti in the refrigerator so I ended up have the following"

Dinner:

• 1 1/2 C. Spaghetti w/ Meatsauce
• 1 Tossed salad that I made in the Cafe...iceburg lettuce, onions, tomato, broccoli and green bell pepper w/ 2 TBSP of Low Fat Balsamic Ving...

I was proud of myself for going the healthier route....so I say THANK YOU...for questioning what I was trying to pollute my body with...In life we all need a little push back from time to time...I was making all the excuses in the world to eat some junk food..I even told myself at times you need to eat what you want so you don't fail. I do believe that statement to be true but today was not the day to have a treat.

I have learned through the last 4 weeks it is very easy to make an excuse not to eat right or exercise. I have to do this for me and I cant let anything stand in the way of my success. With that being said I think it is better to do something than nothing, but if you are going to do something go HARD!!
