Ok so in some ways I had a pretty rough weekend. Yesterday worked a 12hr day. Today ... well here I am.
I am doing pretty ok with things all in all. Even with the personal junk that was going on with me over the weekend I didn't go out an over draw my food bank. If anything I may have done some damage by not eating enough. Oh an not sleeping well.
I have kept up some form of exercise every day, at least walking ... aahhmm pretty much every day ? lol Ok so today I didn't walk. And Saturday I didn't really go for walk but I did house cleaning and I did walk around Wal-Mart for at least 30 minutes Saturday night. that's gotta count for something :D
Sunday .. ahhmm nope nuttin there. Church, lunch and then came home to watch football.
Yesterday I did get my 30+ minutes of walking in a work. Today lunch held a run to Sams which cut into my walk time. However on Saturday I did start the Holiday Squat-a-thon!!
So far I am still on track. I can't say that it's my favorite thing to do. The first day I'm thinking " I got this, no biggie". The 2nd ok it's a lil more burn that I wanted but I need, I can do this. This morning I decided I was going to do this before work .. at FIVE AM!! The first 20 not so bad, but the last 5 I wanted to cry. Did I give up? nope, nada, never. I may have been in a crazy goofy mood when I said I would do this challenge but I will not give up ... but I am looking forward to days 10 and 27 I think they are going to be my favorite lol
So its been a month now since I kicked the caffeine and I feel good about it. I don't have the withdraws like you would think. I am not super tired all day. The biggest thing for me is remember to check for caffeine. oopss I can't say I am totally without caffeine. I was baking cakes and my son requested chocolate. Of course you know I had to have some ():D But as for drinking it like I use toooooo at least 1-2 Monsters a day ... it's been a MONTH!! yea me!!
I have managed to get more fiber foods in than I had been in prior months. It's really done my body good, even though I still feel a bit sluggish at times, nope not a caffeine withdraw kind of sluggish, I am starting to feel better over all.
Now I want to try and get ride of carbs. (my guilty please) This is going to be the real challenge and I am putting it off till Jan. Not because I can't do it, but hey ... it's the holiday season. I don't want to set myself up for failure. I am monitoring my food and not overdoing anything. With the increase in fibers it helps to not want the sugary foods too. I want to keep this up for the month and hit it hard in Jan.
So stand back, say a prayer and cheer me on ... or join me too :D
