Putting the pieces together

I've struggled for years to put myself and my health as a priority. There is always so much going on and it feels like anytime I gain a bit of momentum, something derails me. Fortunately I'm stubborn and haven't given up on the idea.

So, I'm finally feeling back in control of what I eat and I run into a stumbling block. We've had to put him back to the strict phase of Feingold has we've slipped in the past months and his behavior is reflecting it. Luckily, I've done this before and I've learned the fine line between feeding my family and thinking creatively to reduce the caloric content of my meals. Hamburgers? Great! I'll put mine on a salad instead of a bun.

My office opened up a little exercise room a few months ago and I started spending 30 minutes several times a week on the treadmill or the elliptical. That was until I developed plantar fasciitis and had to drop it. However, a friend mentioned that she was doing a boot camp and I jumped at the chance to join her. This morning was a bit cruel with a 4:20 am wake-up call and my foot is aching again, but I refuse to give up. I refuse to give up on the notion that I can one day get healthy and make myself a priority.

Don't give up! I've been treadmilling in the mornings since last December any while I have been feeling stronger, my eating habits haven't gotten much better until the past week or so. This week I've seen some numbers on the bathroom scale I haven't seen in while.

I feel your pain there. Story of my life. I always take care of my kids and husband first. Then I get determined to take care of myself and there is ALWAYS something that derails the effort, usually it is legitamate, but it sidetracks me nonetheless. Keep it up! One day we will prevail! You're blog is a good read! I just started blogging myself. Check me out if you get a chance.
