Your biggest challenge isn't someone else. It's the ache in your lungs, and the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells can't. But you don't listen. You just push harder. And then you hear the voice whisper can. And you discover that the person you thought you were is NO match for the one you really are.

The Weekend Temptations

It's always hard after a weekend at Mom's house. Huge dinner. Three desserts (at least). Bring leftovers home. Not the healthy things in my cupboard.

I love visiting family, playing games, and enjoying meals together. However, I haven't been able to figure out how to get all the healthy choices into my body from someone elses kitchen.

Instead of trying to shove more vegi's into my moms home, I just plan on a hard workout for the next week. Usually the hardest on Monday. It tends to keep me close to the weight that I want, but it leaves me craving lucious chocolate/sweets all week long. Oh the pain.

I have been trying to find alternative desserts. Ones that are less fattening and don't leave me feeling stuffed to the brim.

Any ideas? What have you done to help you get over the failures of weekend temptations?

  1. Hi Steph, I found this blog off your main blog. Are you doing P90X right now? I've gotten way interested in fitness and being healthy, we should keep each other motivated! :)

  2. Fitness and being healthy have been the root of all life activity for me in the last year and a half. I have done p90x twice already and am trying to motivate myself to do it again. I'm setting up a program to run and do p90x at the same time. But at the moment, all I get to is running. It's better than nothing.

    I would love to have a person to keep motivated and someone to motivate me. Let's do it.
