My new mantra is not... "I CAN'T eat that"... its "I CAN eat that, but I DON'T WANT TO!"
Trying thinking that the next time you see a piece of chocolate cake... or a pizza. Making that small change of can't to can.. but don't want to... makes a HUGE difference.
I am also doing a detox right now. I am juicing my breakfast and lunch. This morning I had an amazing glass of apple, celery, cucumber, parsley, lemon, and carrot juice. I know that in your head that sounds terrible... but it is a glass of heaven! Yesterday was my first day of detox... even fitting in a run in the afternoon when my Hubby got home. (which is very unusual, because I am usually too tired by then)
I did not hit my goals for last week.. but I do feel like I have made some big progress.
Next week... my goal is to stick to my juicing... run at least 3 days this week and for the challenge workout... I will be doing my Hubbys RushFit workout for 2 days.
In other news... my little girl ROCKS the soccer field!!
Yay for girls playing football!
ReplyDeleteThe attitude change is a great thing, positive approach, remember "I can eat something else too"
I love that mantra! I feel so deprived when I tell myself I can't, but when you feel that you are in control, it becomes so much easier. :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the idea of I can eat this but I choose not to do so. I do that at the checkout counter where all the candy bars are lurking. I tell myself I can have that if I really want it, but I do not pick it up. It's sure easier than dealing with the cravings after I eat it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with week two!
I also watched "Hungry for Change" there was a lot of great information and I'm looking into purchasing a juicer. Good luck this week!
ReplyDeleteThere were a lot of great take-aways from Hungry For Change, but I loved that mantra as well! I'm thinking I need a little notecard inside my wallet to remind me of it while I'm out and about!
ReplyDeleteI love your new mantra :)
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of talk about Hungry For Change, I haven't watched it yet, but I will soon.
Love your mantra!! I think we all need to adopt a healthier view of food.. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a good perspective to have about food!
ReplyDeleteGreat mantra -- and great picture! Have a great week 2!
ReplyDeleteI like that! There are so many things I can eat, but I choose not to. Chocolate is one of those things! Great mantra!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how just rewording a thought can make more of an impact? I recently was inspired to stop saying I was too busy to exercise and changed it to "exercise is not a priority to me". Wow-made me feel lazy! Thanks for the post.
DeleteHave a great week!
More power to you on the juicing thing. I could only do it for about 10 days before giving up. YOu can do this!
ReplyDeleteI like that rewording... It's a power statement. And I KIND of love power. heh.
