Struggling

I'm not going to lie, I'm having a rough time with eating right and having enough time to get a full workout in.  My main problem is that I can't wake up early enough.  If I do wake up early enough, I stay in bed because I think I will fall back to sleep for a few more minutes and I could really use those extra minutes.  In reality, I'm just being lazy.  I know I can eat better, but I just don't want to.  That's the kicker.  I want to do better, but not enough to change it.  Which maybe I'm being too hard on myself.  It's only the fourth day of this.  I need to give it a little time and I know I will get better.

Running is already getting easier.  I ran 3/4 of a mile in 6 minutes, which is really good for me! I have set a goal to run 1 mile by Saturday, so we will see how that goes.  Tomorrow I plan on running .75 again, with absolutely no stopping.  I'm excited about running, just not eating right.  Food is just so good.  Usually the bad food is the best.

On a happier note, my husband and I haven't had fast food since Sunday! Pretty proud of that fact.  And I am proud of myself for running every day since Sunday, even if it isn't long distances.  It's something.  It's more than what I did last week.

I know I can do this.  Tomorrow is a new day, a new challenge, and a day closer to the new me.
