Week 2....probably the worst time because of 4th of July!!!

My trainer from Asylum Fitness is out of town on a much needed vacation.  The gym will be closed for the month of July.  So my Health & Nutrition Coach suggested I join Planet Fitness for that month and she would send me exercises/workouts.  So this past Sunday, I enrolled in Planet Fitness.

After the Planet Fitness thing, the hubby and I are grocery shopping for the upcoming week.  I am buying all my stuff I need to get for my clean eating Week 2.  In the midst of that, I find myself telling the hubby, "I miss cheese".  "I miss pizza".  "When am I ever going to eat cheese again?"  Do you see a pattern here?  LOL

As I am buying stuff to grill for 4th of July, all I can think of.....this is going to be hard.  Way harder than I think.  Of course on Sunday, I have already made up my mind that I am going to NOT follow my Nutrition Plan on Thursday (4th of July).  Don't you just love my determination?  NOT!!!  I'm buying hot dogs and burgers for the gang.  This doesn't bother me.  Believe me, it really doesn't.  But cheese?  How I love thee cheese!  Chili dogs....lately I've been craving these.  Why?  It's not like we always eat them.  We hardly ever do.  But funny, how the body plays tricks on you.

Back to my determination.  On Monday I went to Planet Fitness.  When I left, I thought....I can't ruin week 2.  Today I went to Planet Fitness, and I thought....I can't ruin Week 2.  So as of now, I am determined NOT TO RUIN WEEK 2.  Tomorrow, our staff is having a cookout.  Here we go.....will I have the same determination?  I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I have been speaking more openly about this nutritious eating with my hubby.  I feel that it is helping me more.  I feel that if I talk it out, the good and bad, it will help me process it!  I do NOT want to be talked out of what I'm doing,  But at the same time, I need to tell someone about my weakness.  I find myself crying out to God more than ever.  I figure if there is anyone that knows about clean eating...it's him.  Yep, I figure if he fasted for 40 days (no food), he can truly understand my "still" eating, but clean food.

This whole journey brings back to mind a book I read for my IMPACT group, "Soul Detox"...wow....I get it!

these sugar-free jello shots (that's what my son calls them)  are  perfect!
