It's hard trying to eat healthy when Matt isn't. I didn''t bother recording much of my day yesterday. I slipped too many times, and though I didn't give myself a "right to cheat" on my diet, I still didn't do as good as I could.

Today, I'm doing much better. I feel better too. I'm also making it my goal to lay off the diet soda and drink more water. I was looking at myself in the mirror yesterday and can see it in my skin that I'm not getting enough H2O. I just look tired and BLAH. So far, so good. I had poured myself a second glass of Diet Coke, and have yet to finish it. It's almost all full.. It's on the table, and next to me is my water bottle instead.

I used the elliptical this afternoon. It was stinking hot. It's in the garage and being in FL, I was dripping with sweat at the end. I did go for 20 minutes! However, my plan was to also do my Jillian Michael's DVD since I joined that challenge here on fatsecret. I didn't. I just wanted to take a shower. I felt so gross...

I was ironing a little earlier and I was thinking about the challenge of being the only healthy eater in the house. I decided I'm just going to go ahead and start cooking dinner regardless of what Matt wants to eat. I'm stepping up and I'm teaching my kids to eat well. If Matt wants to eat something different, he can make it himself. But the hope is, he'll end up eating with us. We need to honor God with our bodies! Thank God we even have the choice of what to eat! So many others don't have the priveledge. We shouldn't take our fresh produce and yummy meats and cheese for granted! I want to stand up for this family and I want us to be healthy so that we can have the energy and the strength to do what God has called us to! & I will! :D

God, give me the strength to be a positive influence in healthful living!

I did something FUN! lol
I went to one of my favorite store's websites and made a wishlist of all the things I'd like to buy when I get to the size I want! haha! Fun, and a bit motivating!! :)

WOW.
It's amazing how much more difficult it is to stay on track when you're out and about...

I really don't understand how something so simple can be so hard. In the moments of my weakness, I forget all reasoning. That voice that says "This really wouldn't be good for meeting your goal" is not loud enough. I need to break old habits and create new ones.. I need to re-think everything I put in my mouth and honestly evaluate WHY I'm putting it in my mouth. Do I really need it? Am I really hungry or am I bored/stressed/tired/thirsty?

I didn't have any exercise today either. Matt said that I should have 2 rest days every week, and though I like the excuse to not do anything, I feel like my measly 10 minutes on the elliptical isn't enough to take a break from.

I know tomorrow is a whole new day. As much as I'd like my diet to be a change overnight, I know it's not. Just like when I got saved by Grace, I know this lifestyle change will take some work and accountability, and most of all, TIME.

Hear me out- though I may not lose all my weight in my set goal of time, I WILL BECOME HEALTHIER AND STRONGER IN WILLPOWER AND SELF CONTROL. My diet and activity level will be a lifestyle change to carry on through the rest of my life (or atleast till I am no longer able to move). & my kids will not carry on the bad habits I have of not being able to say no to the junk. :)
