Easter blues...mamavation monday

My weekly challenge had to be Easter.Easter is my favorite holiday. This year was not as enjoyable. I worked a graveyard shift and got home at 7 in the morning. ( I never do grave yards) exhaust beyond my normal functioning. It was time to get 4 kids ready for the beach. The thing that was so hard was resisting the urge for holiday candy. This new being healthy thing never seemed so hard. I have to admit I was strong but gosh it sucked!No chocolate made my workout just a little easier today. My kids had fun, and thats all that matter! Now to clean up the Easter fun!

  1. It's hard when you find yourself in a spot where you CAN'T have or do something... like Chocolate. That's why even with my healthy living lifestyle, I go for a piece of Dark Chocolate every day. Now that doesn't mean I have one every day, but just knowing I can helps.

  2. Thanks Shelley!! I think I will take up this style of thinking... It proves true we always want what we can't have!!

  3. I like to set positive daily goals instead of focusing on what I can't have. For example I set a goal of eating 7-8 servings of fruits n veggies. Once I've done that there isn't much room left for chocolate or feeling like I've deprived myself. Have a great week!

  5. It's hard not to indulge when it's sitting right in front of you, but being able to resist is a big accomplishment! Way to go!

  6. Graveyard shift stinks, especially if you have a family just waking up when you get home! I hope you were able to enjoy your day anyways!

  7. Ah chocolate, I too will allow myself a piece of dark chocolate. Then savor every second of it :) Great job on getting your workout in.
