this and that

I wanted to eat this/ do this - instead, I ate that/ did that.


It's like a game I play with myself..... for my toddler-like brain.
Here's me coaching myself.


I wanted to call in - and watch tv all day, laying on the couch...
Instead, I went on to work - and had a great day!


I wanted to go to Happy Hour with some friends that are in town...
Instead, I went to CrossFit and had a happy hour there.


I wanted to stop at What-a-Burger on the way home the other night...
Instead, I had my protein and went to bed - without heartburn, thank you!


I wanted to act like I got an important call, and leave the Box early...
Instead, I told my boss I can't work on Gym days, all summer long.


I wanted to stay up real late blogging, chatting etc...
Instead, I remembered how cranky I get when I miss sleep - and went to bed.


I wanted to go the the store - you know - for some "things."
Instead, I realized it was a stalling technique  - and stayed home and took a little walk.


I wanted to drink a glass of wine with dinner...
Instead, I decided to stick to my "meat and water" rations
(with coffee and cream, and butter and eggs thrown in for good measure.)


I wanted to stay home from training and do some chores...
Instead, I went to training and put off the chores - 
The dishes were still there when I got back!


Just for fun!


Hope your day is great -with all kinds of happy!

  7. Dumb dishes. Couldn't they have washed themselves while you were out getting Buff?

  8. Two years into it and you would think I own the weight-loss world!
    But - no!
    Truth is - it does get easier - but not in the way I once thought it would.
    I still have to practice "the basics" every freaking day....
    or go up 5 pounds for the next week.
    And the good behavior is not automatic -
    Not intrinsic an not intuitive!
    I work out every day -very much by rote!
    So it's easier that now I've accepted this as my new "norm!"

  10. Doing the right thing shows. But you would be canonized if you had a can of oil and fixed that cart!
