And So It Begins

My first day of eating solid food again after juicing for three days was much less monumental than I thought it would be. I thought it would upset  my stomach, but it didn't. Score. Also, I thought that I would be wanting to eat everything and anything, but I didn't. Score again. I was so excited to start my clean eating meal plan that I stuck to it and felt really good. Then came the weekend, I had a really boring weekend and didnt feel very good throughout most of it. I had a really bad headache that I just couldnt kick. So although I didnt eat crappily, I didnt quite eat enough either. I was bummed I didnt stick completely to my meal plan but also proud that I still ate healthy foods. I had one square of a chocolate bar that husband got me for my birthday but that was all! I wish he liked mint, he would eat it all for me. :) I also didnt work out over the weekend which I wish I would have. But I didn't let my partial failure this weekend turn into complete failure. I started this week off right.

I prepared food this morning for my whole day and stuck with it, I drank a ton of water at work, and I went straight to the gym after work before I came home. I get off early this week so it is really nice to get to the gym early and not feel like I don't have any time afterwards for anything else. That is one of my biggest issues with going to the gym after I get off so late from work, I don't have any time at home or to myself. Its for a good reason though! And I didn't do a very hard workout today, and as I was walking out of the locker room a young girl was walking in with a beat red face and her hair and face and shirt were all covered in sweat, and I thought to myself...that's what I need to be doing.  PUSHING MYSELF harder. So I am excited to go back tomorrow after work and get more sweaty!

I am not yet stuck to an exact meal plan to eat every day, just because I'm still mixing it up a little to find something I love enough to commit to eating every day. Ill get there though. And I want to start lifting again, so I need to plan out workouts. Its going to be tough, and it will take some experimenting before I get a perfect schedule down that works for me. But I am excited to be starting and actually doing it!
