Choose Strength
Monday I didnt do the greatest. I was later than usual and didnt bring my lunch so I had french toast for breakfast and a personal pizza AND breadsticks for lunch 
Then I got home and felt lazy so I didnt work out at all and pigged out on desert after dinner. Yesterday, late again, no packed lunch but I did have enough food bagged up to grab for a breakfast smoothie and made a slightly better choice at lunch. Then I hit the gym for 50 mins of cardio. I feel soooo good about 98% of the time that Im at the gym(2% for the odd day where you get there and you're just not feeling it) so why do I ever skip? Dinner was probably too much but my snacking was a little better. Today, once again, running into the office just in time for our morning meeting. So no packed breakfast or lunch. The cafeteria lady is gone today so I cant even go down there for breakfast. So I'll probably run out somewhere for that too. I havent completely bailed of health, Im adding in good things, Im limitting some bad things, and I usually get in 4 workouts a week, but I know from past experience that a half effort doesnt mean half results. It means no results or even gains. So I really need to step up and give full effort.
Did any one watch The Biggest Loser last night? I usually dont love Jillian too much because she is so aggressive with her group. Yes its great to have someone push you but shes just mean sometimes for no reason. Anyway, when Michelle was on the treadmill and she had to stop when Jillian pushed the speed faster. She said she has a mental block or a panic attack about going fast and she has to stop. Jillian kept hounding and hounding her about choosing to be strong. Choosing to do what she knows her body can even if shes afraid. That really hit home for me because I think a lot of what holds me back is mental. I convince myself that I cant do something or that it will be too hard. But now I choose strength.
