Struggle Bus – When I Stumble #Fitblog | lifes little epiphanies...

I stumbled this weekend – may be I stayed with in my caloric limit. May be I exercised and drank water. May be I said no to the pot roast for lunch and had a lousy salad. May be I did what I was supposed to do. But the choices I made at points were bad ones. Pizza and Hamburgers (Greasy cheesy messes of awesomeness) in one weekend most likely wasn’t the best decision. Then I made dinner for my parents on Sunday and topped off my weekend with eating too much mac and cheese and not enough of the healthy salad I had intended. Yesterday was a low point. That is me being nice. I have two pairs of “work pants” aka non-jeans – that fit. I’m not talking that fit and look nice, I am saying I have two pairs of pants that zip up all the way and don’t feel as though they will rip when I bend over.
We went grocery shopping last night, and got dinner at Wegmans. I got Sushi – which the choices I made were ultimately healthy and for some reason I can fill up on sushi without ordering a lot – less than the average bear. I then raided the produce section. Grabbing veggies and fruits and clean items to stock my meals with. I even grabbed bad foods and then put them back before hitting the checkout. TPWSNBN laughed at me, but those chips didn’t make it inside our house, now did they?
I am chugging water like a mofo, and I am okay with the fact that now every 25 minutes I have to get up and use the restroom.

Because I am feeling like a failure and a half I decided to go looking for posts online to help me move my brain back to the right place:
The fact is weight loss is more of what you eat. You can’t out exercise a bad diet.
So how am I going to stick to my goals? Well I was sent this very informative graphic from OnlineEducation.net

I found it informative and well pretty on par. I put so much stock in the new year starting to get better with so many things in my life, and really I should have just done it. I think this is why I fail. It’s always “I will start on {insert monumental moment}.”
So I am taking it one day at a time.
Today’s Plan:
- Breakfast: Light English Muffin w/ Better n’ Peanut Butter, Atkin’s Vanilla Shake, Coffee w/ Cream
- Lunch: Mixed Greens Salad w/ radish, pepper, broccoli, chicken, lite balsamic dressing, Yogurt w/ Protein Powder, Diet Pepsi
- Snack: Apple & Atkin’s Bar
- Dinner: 2 Fried Eggs, 2 Chicken Sausage Links, 1 Piece of whole wheat toast
- Activity: Plan was to work out this morning before work, but I wanted to be in bed so much more – this also needs to change – so I am going to workout after dinner. 30 Minutes of Circuit Training:
  - Run 0.25 Miles
  - 10 Shoulder Presses
  - 10 Bicep Curls
  - 10 Dead lifts
  - 10 Burpees
  - 10 Crunches
  - 10 Lunges (each leg)
  - 10 Squats
  - 10 Front Raises
    - 4 Rounds!
I can do this. I will do this. I have to do this.
