#Failing

My 3rd week of Insanity is coming to an end yet i feel like i have made zero progress. Here’s the deal; i haven’t been eating healthy foods and I’ve skipped quite a number of workout days. I also forgot to pick up this months’ supply of multivitamins so…no supplements. I run out of the Omega supplement towards the end of September.

I think my little setback was/is mostly due to my poor food choices. I have to mention that i love carbs and sugar. Unfortunately for me an excess of these foods just slows down my body. Lately i’ve been feeling sluggish, tired, sleepy and hungry throughout the day.

I’ve been waking up feeling tired – do you want to guess how many times i hit the snooze button before i actually get out of bed? Yea, its that bad. As a result, i end up oversleeping and by the time i get out of bed, there’s really no time for my morning workout! In the evenings, am just about ready to crash so working out is not something i want to do.

On the upside, am always sipping some water so i get my 2L in. I also start each day with a cup green tea (with freshly squeezed lemon juice) so that serves as a detox for me. In the course of the day i drink 1 or 2 more cups of green tea so i guess thats whats keeping me going for the most part.

About the multivitamins, when i started taking them last month, i noticed a difference in the way my body felt. I mentioned here that having only 3 meals a day was enough for me and that i wasn’t always looking for stuff to eat. Now that am not taking the supplements, i feel that having 3 meals a day is not enough. Am always picking up extra stuff to eat and, i pick the wrong things.

I have to admit that i don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables. I rarely eat fruits. I’ll have a banana or avocado here and there but thats about it. Oh and a bit of lemon in my green tea. I try to eat my veges but again, not enough. The supplements were clearly doing their job so i’d better remember to pick up some more soon…or i could just start eating better.
