Monday I am always back on track, if only I could keep it together for 6 days instead of 4 that would be awesome. Monday my eating is back on track and I am ready to get my workout in. I lost weight last week and my body fat went down, but I didn’t eat enough. So I have to focus more on my protein and lift more weights I guess. I feel like I am happy when my weight goes down, but then it is the wrong kind of weight. I feel like at this point I should have this figured out, but I don’t. So this week I am going to make sure I get all of my lifting in and try my hardest to eat as much protein as I can.
I will be honest I feel like by the end of the week, my sink is full of dishes, my laundry is piling up, and I haven’t sat down to eat a meal with my daughter all week. There are somedays that I wonder if things would be easier if I was home more, but then I couldn’t get my workouts in. I am sure each one of us has thought about the things that we could get done if we put those things first before ourselves. I am trying to find a balance and not feel like my weekend is my vacation from my workout week.

Are we somehow living in the same house? ‘Cause you just described my kitchen. Can you add protein bars into your diet as snacks? I know they’re not totally whole food or clean eating but I am a total chocolate FIEND and somehow I can keep my hands off donuts (which are right now in the conference room across the hall!) if I know that my double chocolate protein bar is waiting in my purse. Plus they add 14-20 grams of protein to my day for under/around 200cal.
There are days I couldn’t make it through with out my protein bars….if its a snack, besure the sugars are low (under 6 is perfect) if its a meal, sugar can be more!
