Ahhhhh.....Sundays are hectic days at our house. Somehow that time getting my 2 boys out the door for church puts me in such a grumpy mood. I hope to work on that and someday enjoy getting to church with my kids....but we made it today - and that is a victory - right?
I've been feeling frustrated with things lately - and although I know I'm doing the right things, the exercise and eating clean - I'm just wishing I was seeing the outward results quicker. In my mind I should be further along in the journey.....although some of my clothes are getting looser I have others I got o put on and think they should be looser and they aren't yet....then I start second guessing what I've done wrong. I know it's a long-term program (or at least 18 weeks) - but I keep feeling like I'm 6 weeks into it - and wish I was seeing more outward results. I did read a page out of the "Body For Life Champions" book this weekend talking about how week 8 and 9 are when a lot of people feel like they magically start seeing results. I'm hoping that is the case and that I can pump it up a bit till then.....
I was also wondering about supplements. Do any of you take additional supplements? I'm not trying to builk up at all - just want to build the best lean muscle I can and wonder if I should be adding some nutritional supplements to help that. Any suggestions?
Ok - here's my plan for food today:
1- alternative WW bagel & cottage cheese
2 - protein shake
3 - brown rice with lean ground beef & salsa
4 - tuna and carrots
5 - egg beaters omlete with whole wheat toast
6 - apple with turkey/laughing cow cheese rolls
I am grateful today for the beautiful sunshine and gorgeous blue sky. I'm also grateful for the awesome Olympics - I feel inspired by the athletes and want to be a champion in my own life like they are. What awesome stories and energy!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day and good luck focusing on the relationships and love rather than the treats
