Daylight savings was this weekend and we lost an oh so precious hour on Sunday. I didn't sleep well, was up from 11:30 pm to 3:30 am (partially because my hubby was out of town, and I don't sleep well when he's gone, I know, insert the "aww, ain't that sweet, here), so when I finally fell back to sleep at 3:30 am, that 6:00 am alarm was the last thing I wanted to hear. It woke me up at 6:00 a.m. to workout, the question is did I get up???? Well, did I after only 4 hours of sleep.......... For those of you in suspense......................................... NOPE! I stayed in bed until 7:00 because at that moment I could not convince my body, which was warm and cozy cuddled in my covers to move to the basement and push play on the DVD player. (My body has a nasty mind of it own, which it will be getting a severe "Attitude adjustment" meeting with me later today.)
But this doesn't mean I've started this day in the negative, I did get up and take ALL my Advocare and by 9:12 a.m. I had consumed 42 ounces of the 128 ounces of water for the day. No soda to start my day. So far, not so hard, but I always say I only have two addictions and that's my Diet Pepsi in the morning and my Starbursts in the afternoon. I did my Spark and Oasis and noticed after I took my fiber drink and all the pills I needed to take, I wasn't hungry. (It's alot to consume in the morning, you would think they could combine of these daily pills together, but hey I'm not in the pharmaceutical business, so what do I know.)
Yes, I realize I haven't had what would be considered food at this point. But on day one, I'm slightly sleep deprived and when I'm tired I have a horrible tendency to just eat whatever. I also think drinking my water on the steady keeps me feeling full. Plus I am trying to make a conscience effort to be present in my eating habits.
At 10:15 a.m for my break I ran home quick and made 2 eggs and proceeded to wolf them down since I was very limited for time. But have to say, they were very good, but now I have to make a grocery run, because I'm out of eggs. Wouldn't you know it.
I don't know about anyone else but when I'm tired, I lose my determination, I just want to stuff my face with stuff that is so not good for me and do nothing, that is not part of this plan, so I am bucking up and telling that voice in my head to "SHUT UP", I will succeed this time. Defeat is not an option.
I've decided to add a food diary at the end of each blog to keep track of what I put through my lips. I do keep track via Fitness Pal app on my phone which I really like because it syncs with my Fitbit.
Day one is coming to an end. Have my supper already planned and ready and I have the DVD player ready for me the minute I get home after I put in supper for the boys. Doing some cardio today, plus I walked over my lunch which definitely cleared my head and woke me up because it was such a nice day out.
I've drank my entire gallon of water as of 3:00 p.m. and probably will drink at least 3 more cups tonight before bed, so that will be a total of 152 ounces of water. It wasn't hard but I did have to make a conscience effort to drink it, but didn't crave my Starburst this afternoon so that was a plus. So have a good night everyone and we will see if I can get myself out of bed in the morning for strength training (DVD Day 2).
