Be Strong!

So I'm on day 6 of the 24 Day Challenge, and I have really been focused on eating clean and getting my workouts in, but yesterday, I found myself wanting to throw in the towel and eat everything that was bad for me.

Rather than giving up, I started to look at photos of the Olympics and all of the athletes that inspire me. These people did not get where they were by being weak and even when they wanted to give up, they didn't let themselves do it.

Last night, rather than running to my closest Subway for a foot-long Veggie Delight on Honey Oat, I went into my kitchen and made chicken with a salad and black beans. Not only was this good for my weight, but it was good for my wallet too! I've mentioned before that I am really trying to build up my Savings, and eating out when I have perfectly good food in my house kind of defeats the purpose. 

When I was talking to my husband about the cleanse, and how I had almost given up, he told me that I need to be just as tough mentally as I am physically. I really appreciated his honesty about the topic, and I'm really happy that I decided to stay the straight and narrow, because this morning I was down 1.5lbs after two days of maintaining my weight. So I'm 6 days in and 4.5lbs down. 

I honestly can't wait to see the final results! I know I'm going to kill it!
