Comfortable

Do you ever get so comfortable with just the way things are?  And just the idea of them being any different is uncomfortable? That’s me.  I like my life just the way it is.  I like my training during the weekdays and Saturday mornings.  I usually grab groceries on the night I sneak out a little early.  I give Thursday night, Saturday night and Sunday to my friends.  Almost every Sunday I have brunch with my friends at about the same time in the same place.  I try to take care of all my chores before I go so I can just hang out with them.  And it’s easy.  We catch up and laugh and I look forward to it.  Even if Im not feeling chatty, I can just hang with them.  The core group of people in my life, actually restore my energy.  Even as introvert.  But that’s my life and I like it.  And when something comes in to change it, I resist like a 3 year old throwing a temper tantrum.  Im doing this with everything now.  People. Training.  Everything.  It’s only taken a year but I have finally decided to add morning cardio to my training….Yes I am redefining stubborn.  So Im recognizing it but it doesn’t mean it’s changing very fast.

So I have thought about this for a while.  Do I actually write this post?  Do I put my dirty laundry out there for everyone? Or the handful that read my blog.  And if I do, what do I say? Do I slam those involved?  Do I take the high road?  When is a “good” time to put it out there?  A few days under my belt and there is probably no better time. So no secret, my ex-boyfriend was my coach.  That worked out mildly well while we were together but add a breakup and somehow it just doesn’t work out as smoothly.  Add a few of the worst things a person could do to another in there and disaster doesn’t even begin to describe.  But I have this eternal belief that I can make any situation work.  That I can fix things.  It’s what makes me good at my job.  I’m an eternal optimist. But it’s what causes me to not be so good at my personal life.  Even when things are clearly not good, I still think I can fix it and make it right...

Weekly eating

The struggle is real.  Between working and them finding time to eat some thing other than takeout pizza, do my physical therapy, spend time with the baby and the husband it is seriously hard to fit it all in. Oh and sleep.  The older I get, the more sleep becomes non negotiable. We are also trying to eat with McKenna so she sees us eat and follows suit. It also allows me to give her things off my plate, which she definitely is more interested by.  This has actually been a huge struggle as our window in the evening is so limited with her, I don't want to spend it cooking and not spending time with her.  So the goal is to keep our meals simple and do as much ahead of time as possible. The downside to this is the Husband and I usually spend time chatting and relaxing during our meals as it’s always been our alone time together. But sleep. So I came up with a plan for the week and cooked the majority of our food on Sunday.  I really only made salsa because my freez...

Defensive eating

I like to think I have complete control over what i eat, how much and when. It's my body, who else would have control? Over the last week, I have realized the level of influence the person you live with can affect it. I have lived for a while with someone who has no self control and thus sees a package of cookies on the counter and eats the entire thing or eats an entire 1 lbs bag of PB M&m's in one sitting. So instead of eating just one of my favorite cookie, I would eat 3 or 4. Yes I know cookies will not be gone forever but in that instant I become territorial and eat more than I normally would. It makes me wonder about the strange behaviors those in large families must have about food. Clearly our parents define a lot about the relationship we have with food but this realization brings to light a whole new level of influence on my eating. There has been a package of cookies on the counter that's been there since Monday and is still half full.
