There comes a time in our lives where we just have to do what is right for ourselves. I believe that I have come to that point in my life. I have decided to take care of myself and those that live under my roof without worrying about others that just seem to hinder what I want to do. I mean, it's OK to open your doors and your pantries and cupboards to those in need, but at some point you have to take care of number one first.
This week was definitely rougher than any stretch I have had during summer at my job, ever. I was listless, tired, angry, disappointed not only in myself but in others. Well, with the week behind me I start again in trying to put the pieces of my life in place so that I can move forward. Don't be surprised if I break out very soon and just take the world by storm.
As far as my eating has gone this week, I really do have to pat myself on the back. Only a couple of cookies tried to steal my thunder as far as my weight loss goes. Those 4 cookies were not enough to drain me of anything and I kept moving forward. My meals were well planned and I ate decent portions and did not pig out on anything (OK I had a second helping of rice tonight).
Pork Shanks w/ rice and a biscuit
Rib roast slices w/ mac and cheese and mixed greens
Mac and cheese w/ polish sausages (hamburger helper style)
My own chinese chicken salad
I would say that that was a great week of meals not only on a shoestring budget but on a shoestring timing. All meals were completed in under 45 minutes which means I was eating at a decent time so as not to ruin my good work.
I managed to convince myself the last few nights to get up and 2 a.m. and pump out my weights workout. The dumbbells sure do come in handy when you need a workout. I also threw in some shadow boxing this time (3 rounds at 3 minutes each) which really helped me get to sleep better. I encourage all to try and let's get in shape together.
