Weekend travels and feeling of a failure

So I am feeling a little of a failure today. There is so much I could have done in the last month and well, quite frankly I just haven't. I could try to pull out all these excuses but they are just excuses. I could have lost more weight, I could have run more, I could have used a little heavier weight, and I definitely could have eaten much better. I am feeling a little overwhelmed because of all of this. And that is just what I do, I act and then regret it later. So I am not going to fret about the scale for a couple weeks. I am just going to get myself back on track in all aspects. I'll post goals at the end of the blog.

This just made me laugh!!!!

 So this weekend was a good one! I drove out to Michigan to my mom's and it was a much needed visit. However I quickly remembered why I usually drive out at night. My 5 year old did not sleep a wink of the 8 hour drive out or back! He started asking "how many towns left mom?" when we were only on the road for 15 minutes! Thank goodness for the dvd player in the back seat! However because he was watching movies I didn't have a radio!!! That was the longest drive with just Disney in the background and no other adult to visit with!! I think my husband was a little irritated that I kept calling him because he was trying to get work done and I was just bored!!

Here is a picture of Trent on the ice after Grandpa Shawn's hockey game! They one the championship game and Trenton really enjoyed watching!

So now that the week is starting over and it is back to the grind. I was up this morning and went to kickboxing, skipping the scale today and will catch up with it next week. What it says doesn't matter, what matters is what I do.  I saw on a page I follow this morning, Monika Mazur-Trainer & Competitor... "You don't need an audience, magical fairy dust, nor support of the entire world. If you truly want to change your life, you'll do it. All alone. When nobody's watching. Remember, champions aren't made on stage."
This is what I needed to hear today. It doesn't matter what is going on in the outside world. I have to do this, only me, no one else. Yes this will be a tough week. My husband is going to be at classes for work so I will have to try to get to the evening Fitboxing class, Trent has t-ball tues/thurs and church on wed. I'll figure it out!

But I have decided there are no scale goals this week. My goals are the basics that make me successful.

1. 160 ounces of water per day and I will be tallying. I don't usually track this but this week I will. That is 10 of my 16 ounce cup that I carry around with me.

2. Fruit with breakfast and a veggie with lunch and supper(My servings of veggies are usually 2-3 servings)

3. No eating after 7:00 at night.

4. Make it to 4 classes and one run this week, ideally 5 classes and 2 runs

5. I WILL NOT FEEL LIKE A FAILURE ON MONDAY!
