Well today was more successful than yesterday. I woke up and started the day off right with 60 minutes of heart pumping cardio! It felt good to get moving. I forget how much stress is released from a great workout.
After cardio I went next store to grab my morning protein shake. Simply Nutrition http://simplynutrition.co/ has the best smoothies. I had the "Duane Special" lol as I call it, which consists of a blueberry banana shake. They have all different additives to suit your nutritional needs. I got a scoop of protein and a scoop of energy boost. Like always, it was delicious!
FYI...their cups are organically certified! I love this place. I recommend checking it out. They are located near Publix on Archer and Tower Rd.
Post workout I felt great and had no doubts that I could conquer the day. I took the pups for a walk because little Elvis was getting quite stir crazy. We all enjoyed getting outside on such a magnificent day. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. After our walk we decided to relax.
I noticed that once I stopped moving and started to sit around that the cravings started to take hold. I wanted to eat, but nothing I had at home. Have you ever just stared aimlessly into your refrigerator and not a single thing looks appetizing. I felt that way. I felt completely restless. I wanted to do it. Get in the car and eat out. But I resisted the urge and made myself cook.
I made wheat pasta with organic sugar free sauce and a small chicken breast. I have to stop myself sometime. I have to take control one way or another. The cravings still linger, but I am determined to fight. I need to make the commitment to myself that this is a lifestyle change. This needs to be forever not just now because I want to loose weight. I honestly think that is why people struggle with getting healthy. We set a goal...loose weight. We meet our goal and get everything off. Then we think I can eat whatever I want again and BOOM...we've gained back everything we worked so hard to get off.
So when does it happen?
When does this become a lifestyle...
...today.
