Okay guys. I said at the beginning of this thing that I was going to be completely honest. So I might as well tell you that last week was a complete and total sh*& show. I’m not exaggerating.
Exercise wasn’t the best. I didn’t do BBG at all. Not even once. I did make it to classes twice and did a bit on the bike one day. So I’m not too terribly upset about it.
But. Foood. Oh my word.
I did not make ANYTHING off of my meal plan from last week. I just made it up as I went along and we got takeout and snacked nonstop.
It started bad on Monday and picked up steam and was a DISASTER by last night. Snickerdoodles, Chex Mix, candy, risotto, chips, pasta, nuggets, wine, YOU NAME it. I had zero self control. And I felt like crap all week long. Tired, headaches, grumpy, upset tummy. Back to feeling the exact way that I felt before I said something needed to change.
Wasn’t my plan to eat the damn cookie? Not EAT ALL OF THE DAMN COOKIES. Ugh. Good news is it was just one week. Before I started this it was every day of every week of every month of every year of my life. So I can totally start fresh this week. This isn’t a restriction or denial. This is having balance the rest of my life.
So today I start anew.
But man I’ve got to get out of this rut. Every minute of my hour long Spin class last week was a STRUGGLE. I was having negative self-talk and I was yawning and looking at the clock and telling myself I couldn’t do it. So frustrating.
Are any of you struggling right now? How do you deal with it and get past it?

Things to share from last week:
Frozen Brown Rice from Trader Joe’s is one of my most favorite things. I go buy and buy like three boxes every week.
This Taco Soup was incredibly delicious. I added green bell pepper.
These Brown Rice Crisps from Aldi are SO FREAKING GOOD.
Though I need to adjust the seasoning next time, this Roasted Chicken with Veggies recipe was pretty good and super easy.
I’m obsessed with Everything But the Bagel Seasoning from Trader Joe’s. I put it on everything.
Okay that’s it for this week. I’m praying that I have a better attitude this week and that I’m kinder to myself this week.
Please check in and fill me in on what’s going on with you!
