It’s all up to me

I am finally taking time to update the blog and as is usually the case, when I’m absent from  here things are not going well.  This morning I was thinking  about what I was going to write and my first thought was that I can’t stop eating unhealthy foods.  Then I realized that it isn’t that I can’t stop it’s that I don’t WANT to stop.  In addition to my son’s surgery last week (which went very well) he now has a nasty cold and we aren’t sleeping very well.  On top of that he has another surgery next Thursday and my husband has gout.  Yes, gout.  So he is on major painkillers and cannot get up at night to help with the baby and he is miserable.  So what typically happens is that I do very well sticking to the program during the school day but when I get home all hell breaks loose.  I’m usually exhausted and I truly want the comfort food.

So what I have decided is I am going to have to do the best I can until life slows down.  I am not going to stick to a strick lo-carb plan but am going to try to eat healthy foods that are off the program like fruits, whole wheat bread, etc.  I considered getting up at 4 am to exercise but the other night I didn’t get to bed until after 3:00 so that’s not realistic.  I am also going to make a point to write on here more often to keep myself accountable and not fall off the deep end completely.  Wish me luck.
