Struggles and how to overcome

Being true to myself and others reading this- yes I struggle- ALMOST everyday.

Whether with getting out of my warm bed to get moving with my workouts before my entire day.

Whether resisting the yummy cinnamon buns, donuts, breakfast sandwiches at work.

Whether making sure I drink at least 3 liters of water everyday.

Steering clear of the potato chips, OREO cookies, HALLOWEEN candy, and yes- cookies.

I find myself always remembering my purpose. Yes- I AM HUMAN- and yes I can have all the listed above once in a while. But- not like I used to eat. 

Before I ate almost 3000 calories a day, and I can't even imagine how dehydrated I was from the lack of nutritional drinks like water. Lack of sleep, lack of motivation, depression and anger- I was a huge MESS!

With Halloween coming I know I am going to be tempted again. Then my birthday. And then Thanksgiving and Christmas. But one thing I come back to is to keeping moving in that positive way.

Here is my equation of happiness/success. 

Time for me everyday (time with by Beachbody Workout DVD's)+ eating and drinking with a purpose (thinking before eating) + SLEEP (atleast 7 hours if possible) = happiness and success

It is amazing to me where I was in my life. Spiraling out of control. 

NOT ME- NOT THIS TIME!

2013 will be a great year and will be ending on an even better foot!!!
