My blog is really sucking lately isn't it! I'm not updating very often and when I do it's either jack facts or a whole bunch of nothing. I think I'm avoiding posts b/c I have nothing exciting to say and I don't want to post negative things. Now that I said that, I'll post something negative and pathetic. I'll try to get it out in a paragraph and then shut up about it.
My workout routine has been terrible, going only about 3x/wk and my diet has been only around 75% clean. I keep finding my willpower being tested and I haven't been able to say no to chocolate. I thought going to work would be easier but DAMNIT why does everyone I work with have to have chocolate around ALL THE TIME?!!! It's my flippin weakness and I'm not doing well with it. I always pack my lunch and do well with that, but find myself sneaking pieces of chocolate off the break room table after eating my healthy lunch. Then I get home and I'm tired and haven't planned for dinner so I reach for something quick. Nothing too terrible and sometimes nothing at all. Also it's like nothing sounds good to me, like my tastebuds flippin vanished. Last night I hadn't eaten anything since about 4pm and finally decided around 9:30 to eat something. And it was a bowl of Trix. Nice huh! Normally that stuff isn't even in the house but I had it from last weekend's freeday. Excuses, excuses. There is no good excuse for this. I got nuthin.
Enough whining for now. I hope it doesn't seem too whiny, I just needed to get that out and own up to it. I need to find out where the hell my determination and focus ran off too. And it's not like I'm sitting around looking in the mirror and feeling sorry for myself, it's more like somedays I just don't care about my diet or exercise routine. WTH???
Ok, have to end on SOME kind of positive note. One thing I did do this week that worked out great- I put about 6 or 7 large chicken breasts into the crockpot and added salsa, and let it cook on low all day while I was at work. It was the most tender and delicious chicken!!! And so easy! I just added some brown rice and veggies and wa-la! Very simple, and highly recommended.

Random babble about my everyday life and my goals to become the most healthy and fit person I can.

Well, let's see....
Your life has changed A LOT since the time when you were 100% on your workouts etc. Hubby home now, you have moved and you are working full time. What worked then might not work now. So maybe you can rethink your approach.
So you are working out 3x per week? That is great. And way more than a lot of people manage to do. How about making those 3 times REALLY count and let go of the "by the book BFL" mentality that you have to work out 6 times a week. The days you can't get to the gym, maybe you can add in some sort of physical activity (like a walk, dancing with your son, vacuuming the house, whatever).
You're still adjusting to all these changes...your eating does not sound too bad. Just work one step at a time to get it back to being more healthy. Again, the whole BFL 6 meals a day thing might not be the best plan for you know and it's not the only way to live a healthy life. You can figure out something that does work with your life now though.
Oops...."best plan for you know" ought to say "best plan for you NOW." One day, I will learn to proofread!
So glad you posted, I have wondered about you. I posted some stuff about motivation if it helps. I have so been in your shoes. If I get the least bit off of my routine or schedule or any life changes occur I am just toast.
Everything will fall into place it just takes time because you are adjusting to a lot right now.I bet you anything this will pass in a few weeks. Just do what your doing and don't throw in the towel completely.
I know when my DH is out of town it is so much easier for me but when he is in town we do so much together it is much harder for me to stick to my plan.
Also, when at work, be the example. Show them how you can pass that stuff up and eat healthy and then eventually they will be asking you questions and wanting to do the same thing.It is contagious. Also, I found if I drink tons of water I am not pooped out at the end of the day, I actually have a lot of energy after teacher 6 Elementary PE classes. If you don't drink your water then you will have no energy and then you will start eating bad because you don't feel like planning anything. It is a viscous cycle. Hang in there!
I'm with Eileen - your lifestyle just took a 180 degree turn in a different direction. But you'll come up with a new game plan, I'm sure. Pretend you're Jack Bauer!
Yep yep & Yep ... life in your world is VERY much fuller!! & the fact taht you're managing to fit in all that you are is AWESOME!
Eileen said it all so well.
I just got a crockpot for my birthday and can't wait to try the chicken with salsa!
