YEA!! Whole30 for a couple of weeks. Just what I need and want (of course the "want" will be tested during the witching hours - stay tuned for the "why me" afternoon pity parties).
It takes me much longer than I think to get back to healthy habits after a run of unhealthy. Is that because I think it will (therefore, don't make a real effort) or does it really take time to get mentally ready? I'm not sure but I'm leaning toward the former. Something to work on.
I'm back full force with workouts (that's always easy). My triceps are screaming today. I lost noticeable strength in my arms from my hiatus of lifting. Leg day today.
I feel a big weight lifting as I move back to my healthy routines. Maybe I can't overcome unhealthy as easily as I age or maybe I know how great "good" feels and anything less is not acceptable. Look at me contemplating the hard questions this morning. (I'm still on caffeinated coffee so the old brain is wide awake today -- I'm tapering next week.)
Effort, effort, effort. It's the only way. I know what "giving up" got me and it wasn't a happy place. I'm grateful for the desire to stay the course and do the work.
Okay, onto the regular stuff.
No Food Saver yesterday. With peeps home there was nothing left to freeze lol. Meatballs in the refrigerator overnight so hopefully Food Saver today. Can you use it with the sauce? I have some learning to do!
Didn't make it to GNI last night. Major stomach issues - enough said. She served hot fondue with no air conditioning on - no one was happy. I guess it worked out okay for me.
I'm approved to be a doggie foster mama!! I can't wait!! I should hear more details in the next couple of days. I can't believe I didn't lead with this breaking news - maybe my brain isn't all that marvelous this morning.
A full day ahead - distraction is good. My INTENTION today is to remember WHY I need to make this effort. WORTH IT every single time without exception. Returning to ME is always a good path.
