Overcoming negative thoughts….
Ok, I KNOW I am not alone out here with this… You know, those days you have all those negative thoughts such as "why am I doing this", "why is this taking so long", "one cookie can’t hurt me, right?"… Well, today was one of those days! Had a mediocre workout tonight, major cramps so I just did back and biceps, no cardio… I am just SO glad I went though! On my way there I kept thinking how this was taking so long to bust through all these years of poor eating habits. I have always been athletic, but never consistenly and I did it JUST so I could drink those beers or eat that dessert, etc.
So there I was, sitting in my car debating myself on weather or not I should go get ice cream or hit the free weights. That is when it HIT ME like a brick. Why would I want to set myself back like that? Do I really want all this hard work to go down the tubes? HELL NO! So, I packed it up and headed inside. I am SO glad I did!! I keep thinking about DebraAnn’s video about Getting MAD at the fat. Well I am DAMN MAD and refuse to let the FAT WIN!!! I’m not saying that you can’t EVER have ice cream again, if you want to have it, have it! I just made the decision that I am not going to sacrifice all this AND the way I feel from clean eating for a 2 minute sugar high! I just keep thinking about how proud my husband will be of me when he sees me in October on his R&R from the Army! 
Back and Biceps tonight. Got a great pump from the biceps and my back is looking much leaner! I have messed up my rotator cuff (again) so I started PT yesterday. I can feel it today since last night was chest and tri night… So, after my dinner (of tuna - 6oz and mixed vegis 1 cup) I posted the recipie by the way!- I will get on my therapy exercises.
I am off with my family to hike Big Bend this weekend for Labor Day- I will post pics upon my return.
Have a great week!
Cya!
