Sabotage

Another weekend is upon me. In this last week I’ve been thinking a lot about sabotage. More specifically, how there are two things that seem to be sabotaging my results… sadly both at my own hands:

1. Weekends
2. Eating habits

Weekends

What to say here? Sundays are my days off of working out. But Saturdays have become a day off also. And by the end of every weekend I’m feeling a drag on my energy. Previously I would get up around 6am on Saturdays to workout; this was still “sleeping in” for me but allowed me time before the family was up. My kids, or specifically my son, have decided that 6am is a good time to get up. I blame the lighter mornings.

This weekend my goal is to go for a run one of the mornings. Working out in the living room is tricky when the boy would like to play there. Sure, it’s cute when he joins me (today he was doing the football drills pretty well) but it’s challenging. And I feel like I should be interacting more with him. My hubby wants to mow one morning while I play with the kids. So, I figure I can run the other morning while he plays.

Food

There are no excuses here either. Again, weekends seem to be harder. Weekdays I’m perfectly happy to have a wonderful salad for lunch (though the excessive amounts blue cheese and walnuts may be a little more fattening than necessary). Weekdays my struggle is snacking after the kids are in bed. This shouldn’t be a struggle. I brush my teeth with my son before he goes to bed. But lately we’ve had wine in the house. And nice bread goes awfully good with red wine.

But weekends, I don’t have set times to eat. By the time I eat I’m generally over hungry and want something quick. So, we eat out more than we should.

So?

There are about two weeks left of Insanity. And I want results. I’m stronger. I can push myself harder. I want to see smaller numbers and photographic evidence. I guess I’m going to have to make some changes and quit sabotaging myself.
