I'm so tired!

A few days ago, Erik and I took the kids and Ian's best friend out for Ian's birthday. We went laser tagging and played 3 games and holy hell, it was fun! It was also a great workout since Erik and I broke the rules and ran everywhere . I was sweaty and my legs had the good burning feeling, so I decided to start up a home exercise routine Erik made for me.

5 squats, 5 jumping jacks, 5 knee pushups , and 5 sit ups for 5-10 reps. I made it to 5 reps. And I felt okay. My legs were sore but nothing too crazy, until the next day. Well, even my elbows hurt the next day! I could barely walk and stairs were a torture device. 2 days of incredible soreness where my legs were trembling just laying in bed. Pretty sure I overdid it on the legs, lol.

Today they finally feel better, though the long hours at work hasn't been helping. Tomorrow, I start up the home exercises again, and without the intense laser tag games, I expect it to be less painful. Why can't exercise be fun? I'm sure I'll get to that point but for now, it sucks!

Yesterday was shit, lol.

Yesterday was such an epic fail, it's like I took every single bad eating habit I had and applied all of them in this one day. I woke up after a really good sleep and I honestly felt like I was on automatic. It was my second day off, I had a ton of laundry to do, so it felt like my body rebelled against my mind to eat better and won. I ate like garbage. It's actually a bit embarrassing how badly I ate. I recognized it, and I still let it happen. Food addiction is just as hard to shake as other addictions. I am addicted to junk food. I hate how it makes me feel but I lack willpower to stop eating it. I need to be stronger. I will be stronger. I will be cranky, but I will overcome this addiction.

Much better days!

After writing about my shit day, I've had 2 good days since then. I've made a realization about another junk food trigger and that's work. I go to work and I'm fine because it's not like I can eat and drink whatever I want. I pack a good lunch with snacks and water, I eat breakfast before leaving, which is a huge improvement because I HATE breakfast, lol. It's when I get home from work that I need that can of Coke. It's hot, I'm tired, and my feet hurt. I get home and then life at home can be chaotic with Erik rushing off to work, kids are home and both are talking to me at the same time and demanding supper. Animals are barking/meowing at me. Everyone is so happy to see me and all I want is just 10 minutes of quiet. So I grab a can of coke, sit down and let everyone yap at me while the cool, carbonated, caffeine-filled, nectar of the gods wash over me. I have a problem, haha! But I'm hopeful that my new iced tea press and fruit teas that I recentl...

Pop no longer has a hold on me.

It's been a while since I've written, I just got busy with work and kids! While I haven't eaten as well as I should have, I've been keeping up with my water/tea and eating breakfast every day, minus today. I regretted it though, because there's nothing like sitting at the dentist and your stomach is rumbling like it's about to eat itself. My pop consumption is way down, though today was an off day with having some at Montana's and then a can at home. Twice  I've brought one to work for my lunch and I've decided I did not want it so I just stopped bringing one. I choose to drink my water instead. I also realized that when I haven't had my David's tea, I crave it. Today was also a day with exercise! Erik and I took the kids to laser tag and played 3 games. By the 3rd game we were so into it, we broke the rules and started running all over the place. We definitely worked up a sweat, got a ton of cardio, and now my legs are yelling at me lol. ...
