Today is almost over and I’m pretty happy to make it through it. These past few days I’ve been really low on energy for some reason. Cravings are really getting to me too. I’m just taking it one day at a time. A slice of bread never sounded so good! I miss cookies with all my heart. I’ve talked to couples where one person is making the attempt to be healthier and eat better when their partner or spouse doesn’t and it causes problems. In my experience it’s been the female who’s upset their husband/boyfriend won’t support them by eating what they eat too, so they quit. This time around Jennie has been really good in working out and eating healthier. So is really encouraging and it helps me stay on track. I understand, though, that this is my commitment so it’s really up to me to succeed. To those who quit because their partner doesn’t support in the form you’d like, get over it. Would it make it easier? Yes, definitely but you get out what you put in. It sounds so cliché but it’s true. Right now is the toughest time for me, not physically but mentally. I have to be mentally strong to get through my work outs and especially to stay disciplined with my daily intake. It sucks right now but once I’m done it feels so nice! All I have to drive me is the reward and it’s well worth it. Just under 14 weeks away and counting. Most competitors only diet out 8-12 weeks but I like food in the off season so I always start 16 weeks out just in case I need to wean myself off the bloody cookies.
This blog also really helps me to stay focused. If you’re following, track your progress and even take some pics to show your progress at each mile stone. I’ll upload some updated pics at 12 weeks out, so here in about 2 weeks.
