Day 11 of ChaLEAN Extreme

Today is Burn Intervals and Ab Burner, but I am really having a tough time today completing these today.  I missed a bunch of the Burn Intervals and didn't even attempt the Ab Burner.  I noticed that when I started to get out of breath I got light headed and sick to my tummy, so I only did what I could.  During some of the weight lifting it helped if I sat down to get through them.  I do plan on attempting more later today.

I am off to make myself some breakfast now.  My kids are trying to talk me into taking them to Denny's for breakfast.  I know that I don't have the willpower to stay away from the greasy food and order something healthy.  I stuck to my guns and said no!  I am going to make myself a yummy Chocolate Shakeology shake instead.  Lord knows I need it after the pizza rolls I ate last night and the pizza the night before.

Speaking of food.....

I think that I would be able to complete the workouts better and lose weight faster if I could get my  eating habits under control.  I get too lazy a lot of times to actually make dinner (lunch/breakfast) and end up ordering delivery or hitting a drive thru.  I know that this is something that I need to work on, but during times of high stress all of my rational thinking goes out the window!  I also need to stop drinking my calories.  If I could stop drinking Coke I bet I would lose 10 immediately!

Now that I am not working I am hoping that I will really be able to do some serious soul searching, figure out my priorities and really make things start to happen for me.    One thing I know about me is that I give up way too easily if/when things start to get hard.  I just recently realized this, and that day was quite emotional for me, knowing that I'm a quitter.  Not just with working out and eating right, but with other aspects of my life as well.

My eyes are opening wide and I plan on doing what I need to do to make me back into the person I used to be and want to be again!
