1. I have been stressing about Tyler's eating and his weekly blog updates. I want so bad for him to eat more protein and vegetables but I just can't seem to get him where I think he needs to be. Yes, we have made progress but it's slow. It's been a roller coaster for me- one great day followed by 2 bad days. I am going to take a break from trying so hard. Maybe I'm over thinking it. I tend to do that.
Solution: I'm going to accept the fact we are making progress. I'm not going to document every little thing Tyler eats. Baby Steps.
2. Dad's eating is bothering me too. He is trying to eat Paleo but dinner seems to be a challenge. I want to cook the right meals for him every evening. Each night we all eat something different and when Dad gets home he is left to figure something out to eat. I haven't been preparing in advance lately. I'm stressing about everyone else and I'm neglecting myself.
Solution: Plan my meals and cook in advance on the weekend. Stop worrying about everyone else-take care of myself again. Before the holidays I was successful at taking care of my family AND myself. I can do both. STOP WORRYING. (The caps were for me--just trying to convince myself.)
3. I have not been sleeping well. At the beginning of the year the kids were sick for a few weeks and they didn't sleep well. Olivia was getting up every night at 2 am. She has since made this her new routine. For the last 6 weeks we get up every night. I have also stayed up too late a few nights working on my side business. It's crazy how just one late night can make you tired for days. I just don't feel like myself. I'm more tired than normal.
Solution: I'm going to go to bed early a few nights a week and let my To Do List sit idle.
4. Christmas. Yes, Christmas is still bothering me. This is February 8th and I am still hung up on my Christmas indulgence"s". I am really hard on myself and I can't let things go. (It's amazing the things you learn about yourself as you get older.) I feel like a failure even though my success story and pictures are on the wall at the gym and people have good things to say about it. I feel like a failure even though I'm wearing fitted clothes instead of baggie clothes. I feel like a failure even though I'm still working out. Go Ahead...Call me Crazy. I admit. I am.
Solution: I'm going to start documenting everything I eat into a food journal for my trainer, Claire to read (her idea). I have to be held accountable again. I have to SEE what I am eating.
TODAY IS A NEW DAY!
I WILL DO THIS!
I WILL EAT HEALTHY & WORKOUT!
So maybe I wasn't perfect and things didn't go my way the last few weeks. But everyday is a new opportunity to change my life. I can do anything I set my mind to. I completely believe these things. I must now live it!
