I made it!!

I have to say making it to day 8 of working out is awesome. They say once you do something 7 times it become a habit. I have to say that I didn't even think about anything else once I woke up. I simply put my work out cloths on and worked out. It was a little easier this morning than it was last Monday but was still a challenge. I have 4 more days on this workout video and then I move onto the next DVD which is harder than this one. I am looking forward to being able to keep up with the one that I am on now. Not looking forward to learning the next one. Its like learning a new dance routine. I am no dancer. My mom would call me Grace when I was little and it was for a reason. I am the least graceful person that there is. If I have to move the top part of my body and the lower part of my body in opposite directions it can be entertaining. I find my self laugh at myself daily. That is the other reason I hate it when someone is watching me. Because I then become entertainment for them.

I am also moving onto week two of no fast food. Yesterday I was craving a hamburger and fries. I know that denying your body things that you crave can often roll you into over eating. I went to the store and got whole wheat buns and sweet potato fries. We had turkey burgers here. Allan grilled up the turkey burgers on the BBQ and I bakes the sweet potato fries. I used avacto instead of mayo, spicy mustard, lettus, tomato, and provolone cheese. It took that craving right away. I am trying to cut back on the amount that I am eating. I find myself hungry after eating a serving and its been really hard to stop eating. I find if I drink some water and wait a half hour the hunger goes away. It amazes me how many fat grams and calories are in the fast food. There is a reason its called fast food. I think it should be called FATTY FAST FOOD!

I am hoping that the cravings will stop soon. I know it will take time to get it out of my system but I am going to be strong and fight the erge to splurge. Working out in the morning has been a huge help because I don't want to do it for nothing. It helps me remember that if I eat crap not only will I feel like crap but the work out will be for nothing. I am too lazy to waste my time and energy. I am starting to feel my energy level get up there. My mood has been better and I am sure that has to do with my new crazy pills too. Thank god for them.

Life sure is a challenge sometimes. You have to have a healthy mind and body. I think that getting your mind healthy can be a little more difficult than a healthy body. At least that goes for me. Raising teenagers can be a challenge and sometime I want to give up. I love them dearly but its hard to work with people that know it all! I swear! I tell them they should get a really good paying job while they still know everything because once you are in your 20's all those great ideas and thoughts go away! I remember being a teenager and I wish I had gotten a great job then. I might be rich now. I knew it all.

Well I guess that is enough of my rambling. Sorry about a few of the miss spelled words hopefully you will be able to figure out what I am saying. Spell check couldn't !!
