~ Day 11 ~
Today was a strange day. I can't put my finger on why I felt it was strange. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. Everyone is fine. I just feel a little off, emotionally. I don't think it has anything to do with the cleanse. I am feeling a little overwhelmed with things piling up. And although I am working on practicing some of the helpful tips I have been reading about in my personal development books, I didn't really accomplish as much as I should have today. I need to get back to my A-list (those of you who have read Eat The Frog will know what I'm talking about). Basically it means I need to focus on the super important things first, then the somewhat important things, and let the little things go because I will never get caught up no matter how good my intentions are. Bottom line, I just waste too much time.
Day 8 and I am still trying to wrap my brain around Insanity. I think I thought of every excuse in the book as to why I did not want to work out. I blew it off during the girls' nap time today. But, when Josh got home, I sucked it up and went downstairs to workout. Yes it was hard...really hard...but I did it. And I always feel so proud of myself for pushing through when I'm done. You'd think I might remember that feeling beforehand and be more excited to jump right in instead of procrastinating half the day.
Ah well...it's done, I feel good, away I go...

debi, how do you plan your menu? That is my biggest problem.. i am not very good in the kitchen as it is.. so coming up with a good menu is really difficult for me..
ReplyDeleteHi Amy! I have gotten a lot of really great ideas through this cleanse - both via the materials provided to us by Missy, and then via sharing through the group. I do wing it a LOT and just kind of throw things together - like with breakfast and lunch yesterday. One of my resolution is to be less wasteful, so I just use whatever's leftover in my fridge and it usually works out okay! :o)
