Day 2

Another day has been and gone and I stuck with my resolution to make good choices and exercise (and read/memorize a scripture*).  I got on the elliptical again for 30 minutes while I was doing my roots. Side note--I left the purple shampoo on for waaay too long and my lighter blonde pieces turned silver! Ha! That's what I get for doing my hair at home and not professionally.

Anyway, instead of setting myself up for failure, like I often do, I went to the store and bought healthy, high protein food that I can prepare pretty easily (with a little help from Pinterest) throughout the week. I even prepared all my food for work for tomorrow so I don't have the opportunity to set myself up for failure and not do it in the morning. I even premade my protein shake and logged all my food into Sparkpeople so there is no excuse.

Christmas break is over and so Monday I'll be back to Monkey's school schedule and the hectic days filed with bad habits. That will be the real test! I think I did well with planning meals though (thanks again to Pinterest!) and although I know I can exercise a lot longer daily, I don't want to push myself too hard at the beginning and lose steam before any real progress had been made.  I'm in this for the long haul! Just gotta stick to it! One day at a time, one choice at a time.

I think I got this! :)
