What a hectic week!

Hump day and I am exhausted.  It has been such a busy week - work, kids, home - but I think I am keeping it together.

So I started the week on the scale - up 0.8 lbs - my luck has run out.  But I deserve to have it run out, I was relying on it rather than my own hard work for this weight loss, and I knew that it wouldn't work.  So I e-mailed my ladies on Monday morning saying "its on like donkey kong".  Now that it is Wednesday, I can say I did not hold true to that entirely.

Out challenge this week is to exercise 3 times this week and to do the detail food journalling.  I have not yet done any real exercise, but I have been writing my food journal (I will give you the summary at the end).  I also said I would drink my water (yes I have) and not eat after 8pm.  I have not stuck to the not eating after 8 this week - in fact, most of my dinners have been around 8, just due to life.  But I even snacked after that one of the nights.  I am hoping to get better and stronger at that.  Stronger willpower.

I have been at a coaching workshop at work the last two days.  It was quite insightful and the speaker was so inspirational and powerful.  Humans have the want to avoid discomfort.  This can be true in all aspects of life, especially in the weightloss category.  We have a goal, to weight less, be healthier, but for whatever reason we allow ourselves to get off track, to stray from our goal.  We do this because, it is challenging, it is uncomfortable to make a change.  What I want to say to myself and my ladies, is it is tough, but the goal needs to be the focus, that needs to become more important than the small things (doughnuts) that give us comfort.  Because the comfort is short lived and what you are left with is disappointment with ourselves.  Focus on the goal ladies - I will too!

Thats it for me.  I have work to do tonight.  I am looking forward to the weekend.  I will hopefully have my foot x-rayed on Friday and hopefully, it will be clear and healed, I want to get back to the gym.

PS - my "new years resolution" with organization, is going well.  And I know I feel less stressed and I know my family does as well.  I hope I can keep it up.
