Why is this so hard?
Seriously-I am a successful person. I had a scholarship to college, I have my Master's degree, I am a good wife, mother, and teacher...so why is this healthy living so hard??

I started out the BetterU program so promising. I was eating healthy, working out like crazy, and loving it! I was seeing results and feeling great. My family was on board, we were doing great....WERE being the key word.
The last ten days have been a mess. I have been eating whatever I want, and I don't care enough to stop. I haven't been walking, which also makes me feel bad, but what have I done to fix it-ummm..NOTHING!
I'm going with the same excuse that I used with my last blog-time! The start of the school year is always a crazy, hectic time, and I have not had time for my family, let alone time to take care of myself.
But I am done complaining, I am done whining about it, and I am back on track my friends! As we speak (okay, as I type!) I have a parmesean crusted tilapia in the oven. I am serving it with some edamame and brown rice. See...that's back on track!
I think one of the other reasons I didn't do so well is that I stopped setting goals for myself. So my goals for this week:
1. Work out in some sort of physical activity for 45 minutes 5 times this week.
2. Journal everything I eat this week, and share this journal-honestly-on the blog.
3. Blog at least 3 times...blogging really helps me because I know you guys are supporting me and will hold me accountable!

If I accomplish these goals, I am going to buy myself some new walking shoes!

I am really looking forward to Toni's class on Tuesday, hopefully some time with the other bloggers will be encouraging!

I can do this, I know I can!!! This week will be a better week, and I will be a better ME!
