Just some quick notes

You know how just on Monday I was was going to be strict and eat right all week so that by the end of the month I'd meet my goal? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ok, well I have an excuse (I'll talk about excuses in a min). Yesterday was my daughter's birthday and we went bowling, ate fries and nachos, drank a couple Corona's, and had birthday cake.We were driving home and I thought to myself, "What a pig!" Good news is that it's only Tuesday, so I have the rest of the week to act right and get that weight off.

Update on Angel - She had her tests yesterday and the good news is that she's not going into kidney failure. Bad news is that her tests were still elevated, and it was higher than the Dr would have  liked to have seen. So we're still playing the wait and see game. This time we'll wait three weeks, go into a high tech lab and she'll get a full panel done. Then we'll see what to do next.

EXCUSES!!
Don't you think we give ourselves WAY too many excuses? I know I do. I have to change my mind.  I have to make excuses in the right direction. No more excuses to eat crap food and be lazy. I have to find my reasons why I want to be healthy and fit, and make my excuses to get into the gym and eat salads. Just a simple frame of mind change. It'll be a hard habit to break, but I know I can do it!!!

Use what you have

Today is my make it or break it day. It is the day that would determine what kind of life I'm going to choose (in a way). If I made time for me, then I know that I would make myself a priority. I'm pretty proud to say, that through everything that has been going on, I got to the gym today. Angel went to school, and I've been an emotional wreck. She's fine, but I feel so helpless as it is, and not being able to watch her is harder than I though it would be.

So I decided to go to the gym and try to work off my emotions. It was hard, but I did it. I feel great! I feel like I accomplished something. I'm proud of myself. I used the emotions that I had and I worked through them. What an amazing feeling.

FYI, I stopped by the school to check on Angel on my way home. She's doing great, and I feel SO much better.

So, let me ask you - If you're an emotional eat, like me - Do you think you can be an emotional achiever instead?

*Edit Note - So sorry everyone!! I definitely was in a 'zone'. I had a lot of punctuation mistakes. I hope I got them all!!
