I’m tired right now and about to go to bed. It’s hard travelling and trying to keep track of all this plus get my workouts in. I’m kind of in a sore mood about my health and fitness right now :/ I think because I know I’m not going to be able to lose any weight or get stronger or basically achieve my fitness goals when I am away from my structured environment. I guess that is the challenge though.

Tomorrow is a new day and I hope I wake up pissing sunshine and feeling motivated. I promise, better blogs to come. This one just shows a bad day and the downs that can come with trying to slim down. I think sometimes, these days just happen and you need to get over them and move on better to the next day. You learn from your mistakes and keep getting better because of them.

I keep having these fantasies of sitting on my couch for a whole day and eating ice cream, chocolate, pizza, cookie dough, etc… Do I have issues? Probably. I keep trying to remind myself of the way I feel inside after completing a good workout or after a long period of eating right and exercising. I know that feeling is good and I am the happiest when I am doing those things. Not the opposite. I think the naughty nutrition devil is trying to tempt and challenge me and get in my head. I’m going to go to bed now because I am rambling and also because the best thing for me to do right now is get some sleep and start better and fresher tomorrow.

Good night!
