The Problem

The problem is not that I work out…..it’s that it’s not enough

The problem is not that I get distracted….it’s that I’m distracted from my goals

The problem is not the Happy Hour….it’s realizing how long an hour is

The problem is not the bad influences….but rising above it

The problem is not that I cheat…..it’s that I like it

The problem is not that I lie…..but that I do it to myself

The problem is not my friends (Jose, Johnny, Jack, Mr Smirnoff).….it’s me and I know it

The problem is not the journey….but seeing the road ahead

So, for this first week I was able to commit to working out 5 days (4 at the Worx and once at the gym). What I was not able to do was to commit to a meal plan. Weekends are the hardest to plan for a flurry of reasons like; where I am, who I’m with and what I’m doing. I tried sharing my meal on Friday night w/my date only to realize that he ate most of what was on the plate and claimed to be full. So for the next few hours that we were out….I secretly loathed him.

Anyway, I could sit here and go over all my failed attempts this weekend but why? I’m not going to get those moments back, it’s not like I get  a ‘do over’ w/the calories I inhaled. This is a new week and I start again. This week’s goal to plan and portion meals…..hmmm….the journey is long and I see a road full of bumps and curves….but then again….so am I! J
