My newest goal is to start each day by believing it will "be a great day." Then at the end of the day, I am to review all the good things that happened. I have to admit that it was mostly a good day. I got the kitchen back to normal after a Halloween Party. I got all of my blankets "vacuum packed" so they take up less space. I made it to the gym, Yay!! I spent an hour with my husband at work and we went out to a short film Halloween festival. It was interesting, if not super fun. The downside to my day was that my youngest son wrote me an in depth letter explaining his belief system. Since it is not at all what I have taught him his whole life, I find it a bit disappointing and I even feel defeated. Of my five children, only two have fully endorsed the things I taught them when they were young.
Anyway on the fitness and nutrition front, I have been eating a bit poorly for about 2 weeks. I am a fanatic about entering every single thing into FitnessPal so I am accountable. It doesn't look good when you have to actually look at the graphs of each day and week. I can't wait for the bad days to drop off. All in all, it didn't impact my physique much. Since I have gained more muscle, I can get away with more "cheating," but I spend calories like money. You can pay the price for a great body or make excuses. I'm not saying my body is the best or greatest, but it's pretty darn satisfying for a person my age to have done this well. If I could recommend two things to make success a reality, they would be Myfitnesspal and clean recipes on Bodybuilding.com. Take a look.
