Eating challenge... this is real...

The struggle with eating clean is real for me... There are some days I do excellent in eating well... and I feel great... and then there is that one food... that evil food... PIZZA..  Pizza is a huge downfall for me... I have the hardest time saying no, but I have cut my portions significantly... which is better than to just continue eating the same amount...

As for sweets.... they don't really taste good to me all that much anymore... I will get a candy bar once in a while and it just doesn't satisfy me like it used to... which is a great thing!  I just think as I continue to work hard and try hard to be better things will get easier... Just the other night, we had pizza and I told my husband that it just didn't taste that good anymore... so why do we eat it when it doesn't taste good anymore?? I am not sure why... maybe cause we have eaten it for so long that it's just automatic??  Who knows... I just wanted to put this out there... as a challenge to myself... and to anyone else who reads this and wants to join me...

I challenge myself to be more aware of every little thing that goes in my mouth. I will not buy any treats while I wait to be checked out in the line at the stores... I will stay away from pizza, even if my family orders it...  I will choose healthy all the way for the rest of this month.... I can do this... I have done it before.... and I am confident I will succeed... in order for me to keep this, I will be posting it on my facebook page to be held accountable... I will need all the support I can get... Lets go! Who's with me!?

Whats next??

Whats next for this lady????  Not quite sure... I still have a marathon in September.... and I don't really know when I should start training..  think I should start running the latest in April... Just running to get some miles in before I really start training for my marathon... but I think while I am training I will for sure be doing p90x so I can build muscle.... and hopefully drop some weight as well....

That means I need to for sure get some new running shoes... and compression socks... oh and I almost forgot.. my fitbit should be here sometime in March!! Can't wait, its the new one with the HR monitor in it... I will for sure need one of those since my other HR watch died on me... I knew it was time for something new... anyway...  I think I will be ready! Can't wait to start on new adventures!!! Excited for this year, its going to be a big one!!

Month 2 of Insanity Max 30

Wow... so this month 2 thing... wow.... it's pretty much all I can say... LOL... In month 1 I lost 3 pounds... thats pretty awesome considering I didn't eat all that well... I keep telling myself, what kind of loss would I have had it I ate well??? Probably a lot more than just 3lb's... oh well live and learn right... and for me its kinda the hard way!! Because I kill myself in these workout and then eat crappy and lose what I just worked so hard doing... Ugh!! It's like a game... I need to stay focused...

Anyway... day 3 of month 2 and I absolutely LOVE it!!  I feel so great working so hard.. and my head is totally in the game.. and I am going to try super hard to keep it in the game... I feel like my body is getting tighter in lots of areas...legs especially... (I think my legs are the first to get lean and build muscle the fastest...)   During these first 3 days, when I have worked out there have been a handful of times I felt like I could throw up... I haven't.. yet... but I think that's a good sign I am pushing past the mental thoughts of quitting... This month is going to go by so fast... the first month flew by... it's so crazy.. I am trying to think about what I want to do next...  another round of Insanity Max 30?? P90X3?? to really build muscle??? and in addition to p90X3 start running again... I just don't know what to do...

We shall see.... won't we??
