Ahhh! Frustration!

I am so frustrated... with myself, with my choices, and most of all with my body! It seems to be a much easier choice to eat out and make bad decisions. I haven't really got much "workout" in for the last two days. I moved furniture for two hours yesterday in my *hot/ no AC* classroom and cleaned grafitti off the school windows. I guess that counts for something. Today, my parents and I took toddler fishing, which I did a lot of walking around. I just am having a tough time getting motivated to go workout in the hot summer Oklahoma sun. It will cool off later tonight and maybe I can get a bike ride in... but I have gained 4lbs since Thursday. I am also waiting for AF to start... I think that the progesterone I am taking screws with my body at the end. Four negative pg tests later... I stopped it, but still haven't started. I am tired and cranky! (can you tell) I just wish... my check would come so I could go get the gym membership so I could work out in AC.

Okay... so as I type this I realize that I am sound TOO negative. A fellow blogger has pushed me to think positive. So I am going to retell this bit with a more positve flair.

I am feeling a little concerned with the choices I have been making and how they are affecting my body and my weightloss goals. I usually feel much better if I get a workout in, but I haven't pushed myself in the last couple days. I did spend two hours moving furniture in my classroom and cleaned some spray paint of the windows. Unfortunatly, it has seemed too hot to go walk/run or ride. Today was a fun day, eating breakfast with my husband and fishing with my daughter and my parents. Dad and Evy caught 3 little perch. On a personal note, I am feeling a little confused about the fertility meds I have been taking. So far, no positve test, so I stopped the progesterone. Usually, AF would have started now, so I am confused. Also, I can't wait until my facilitation check arrives, so I can splurge and go get a family gym membership. I am looking forward to working out inside and all the fun things we can do together (rock climbing, swimming, racketball). Until then, I am going to have a personal goal to ride around the neighborhood and stay in the shade to get a workout in.

WOW! That is much better... I seem to be feeling more in control over things... the power of positve thinking really helps.

What a great spin you put on things. I know what you mean, though. I've often said it's a lot easier (and more fun) to eat out and make bad choices. I HATE knowing that I need to order the grilled chicken sandwich (not the burger) or a salad (not the fettucine alfredo). But to get where I want to be, I NEED to make the healthier choice, even if it isn't nearly as much fun.

You know what...it is easier to eat out and make bad decisions. I sometimes think it's the whole convenience and "now" world we live in. We expect things to happen at the drop of a hat, when really if it's worth it there will probably be "aggravation" involved.

I just spent an hour making spaghetti sauce...homemade (ok, it didn't really take an hour to "make" it, but I had to let it simmer). Still it was much more aggravating than the can of sauce I usually opt for, yet it really is worth the trouble. The thing is some days I think it's not worth the trouble. How much more convenient to pop open a jar or can and heat it up...no chopping, seasoning, simmering involved.

Positive thinking really does help. Sorry for rambling on and on about the spaghetti sauce, but it's how I feel right now...convenience actually isn't great...and it's making us all overweight :o( .
