Motivation

Seems like better health, living longer, knowing its the best thing for me would be enough motivation for me to get my butt in gear to workout.  I wanted to walk this morning but haven't found the energy or the inclination to do so yet.  I have to figure out how to strengthen my will enough to push through days like this.  The worst part is, until I work out, I'm just going to beat myself up about the fact that I haven't worked out.  What is this? Some sort of sick torture?  Uggggh.  I am going to get it in today!!

At least I did try something new and healthy for breakfast.  I cooked a breakfast taco (a little ground turkey from yesterday's tacos, 1 egg, a little cheddar cheese and onions).  Yes, I only had one. I actually made enough for two but thinking about how important portion control is and the fact that I haven't worked out, I decided to have only one.  It was pretty yummy.  I guess I'll have the Shakeology for lunch.

Portion control.  What does that mean anymore anyway?  Sounds like deprivation LOL Everything is super sized.  It's no wonder we gain weight.  The food industry has figured out a way to sell more product and over the years we've been trained to eat more.  Besides, who doesn't like a bargain?  And, having all of those fries for just a few cent more; seems like it would be such a waste to not get them (and eat them).   I do know that controlling how much I eat is one of the keys to a healthier me... so yes, one small breakfast taco.  And, honestly, although I know I could eat the other one if I wanted, I feel quite content now that I've had a few minutes to let the first one sink in.

Planned meals: Changed up a bit: Breakfast taco, Shakeology, lamb and carrots.  Maybe some fruit for snacks.
