Excuses
Well, I didn’t get up this morning to go to the gym. Hubby worked until really late last night, so I didn’t get to bed early. The alarm went off this morning and I just didn’t care. I should have just got up and got it done. There really isn’t a good excuse because I couldn’t even sleep after the alarm went off. I knew I should be at the gym and wasn’t. I told myself that I have my water aerobics later today, so I don’t REALLY need to make it in this morning. WRONG! That isn’t what I set up as my schedule. I am going to stay after my water class and hit the machines. I don’t want to miss out on another day of working out! It doesn’t really fix this morning, but I guess it helps with the exercise.
I think I’m going to give up on my calorie counting for a little bit. I really suck at it and it frustrates me trying to get it done especially in the evening. I’m going to just journal my food.. ALL of my food. I’ve noticed that I am lying to myself when I’m “bad”. That kind of makes it pointless if I only record the good stuff!! I know from looking at the foods I’m writing down if they are good and reasonable choices. I’m going to try it for a little while (maybe a week or two) and see how it goes. I want an honest record of my behaviors so I can see where the problems are. Everyone says you can’t lie to yourself. I think you are all WRONG because I manage to all the time!

Get ‘er done!!! You can do it! The extra rest probably did you good though!
You can do this…I find myself lying in my food journal as well…
I don’t understand why I do this but we will get through it…

You can lie to yourself but you’re lying to yourself about lying to yourself so it’s a vicious cycle.
I like using the food journal just because it makes me accountable. I have added all my favorite foods that weren’t in there as custom foods so it makes it a lot faster to punch them in.
Good luck and stick with it. I need your words of encouragement to do this.
What is the sense in keeping a journal if you are not going to be honest? LOL The whole point is to see where you may be messing up a little or where you may need to tweak around how much carbs/protein/fat you are consuming. It’s not like you are publishing it for all to see. It’s for YOU. It’s a great deterrent for me, cause if I have to write it down before I eat it, I think twice about it. I’ll give you a good example. I “forgot” to pack my lunch this morning. I packed Colt’s and husband’s. I packed my breakfast and my snacks, but I didn’t even think about my lunch. (good grief)… so I went to Wally World and bought a can of lentil soup and grabbed a box of whole wheat crackers, not bothering to look at the calories. All I saw was whole grain and grabbed. Then I get back to my office, and read the box so I could log it. Oh my! 6 measley little flippen crackers was 120 calories. I wanted twice that much, but I knew I would be over my calorie limit for that stuff if I did, so I only had the 6 and HATED logging that. This is where the journaling works for me. May not work for you. Everyone is different.
Find your nitch, k? Need me to e-mail you daily and ask you what you are eating? hehe…
Baby pouted this morning when you didn’t get up. BUT, the good news is… baby LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVES you for getting on with the program.
Hang in there Beebs. I know pregnancy can be tiring and you want to sleep a lot, and that’s not a bad thing, but some kind of exercise is the best thing for getting those energizer bunnies in your body hoppin around too.
Hugggggggggggggs,
