Wait what? How’d I get to Day 21 already? The struggle is real folks. Every day seems to bring about a new set of challenges which I need to overcome. I’m not sure how people can eat clean day after day. Do they splurge on occasion? Are they able to get back on track? Or are they laser focused and stick to it. I like eating clean. I feel better when I eat clean. But I get caught up in the day to day business of working full time, being busy each night running the youngest around, myself taking martial arts classes, religion class for the youngest, etc. Sometimes I’m just plain old tired, don’t want to cook or don’t have time to cook.
I have two voices in my head. The one that is saying of course you are tired. You are a busy working mom. You deserve to just order take-out. You’ll do better tomorrow. And that other voice is get your head out of your *** and make it happen. I once had a trainer years ago that used to say if I truly wanted something, I would make time for it. Mind you she was like 20 years old, not married, no kids, etc. and I was working full time and raising a child. I believe my daughter at the time was under one. I used to argue with her that I truly had no time for working out and she just didn’t understand. But in hindsight, she was totally right. We make choices every day. I can chose to eat clean or I can chose to make poor decisions, but in the end the only one I am accountable to is me.
Such a deep blog post. More tomorrow….
