First I want to thank everyone who responded on my blog last night about motivation. I appreciate your responses and will find motivation within.

Today, I really made an effort to eat clean and every 3 hours. It wasn’t that tough, but then again this is just day 1. Some of my challenges are yet to come, seeing how I work in an office, where at least one person offers to take me out to lunch. And then there are those dates that really revolve around dinner. So, I decided that I would create a good foundation. I would prepare all meals the night before, so I can honestly say " I brought my lunch" . This will also help by not creating any excuse of "oh I didn’t have time to make lunch" , or "just today" , or any other excuse I can possibly come up with and convince myself to believe. Oh and the candy jar that sits on my desk, is now 5 feet away, out of sight.  I must guard myself from the junk food-lol.

I have done a lot of research of body building food intake, and it doesn’t really seem to be that bad….besides the broccoli and eggs in one day….and understand that without eating well, my workouts will not provide the results I need. Everytime I get started on eating clean, I always get caught up in that "oh, I’ll just have one" scenario. Time to adapt new thinking-food is fuel.  And I have to make this thought stick…That way I don’t over indulge.

Anybody have any other good recipies? Eating the same thing over and over? Thanks.

P.S. I’m cooking for one.

Motivation, motivation, motivation. Hmmm. Can I have some please?

I completely lack it. I want a great body, but just don’t have the motivation. However, after looking at multiple magazines today at Vons, which by-the-way, I checked every ailse, and they don’t sell motivation, I decided it’s time to kick this up a notch. I look at these men and women in these magazines, and think to myself- hey, I can do it too. What is the main thing holding me back? The fact that it takes a lot of work. And yet I can put in a lot of work at my current job to get that promotion, but I can’t put it in my body? Time to re-evaluate. If anybody has some motivational words that worked for you…please post!
