Day 4

“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.” - Lance Armstrong

Happy Thursday! Well, today has been a good day, but a bad day. Motivation is still right up there, but my planning had a curve ball thrown in to mix things up. As you know, I'm a working mummy, well today my little girl had to come home from the childminders because she was poorly, so I had to take a day off work to look after her. Now as most mummys know, when you have a toddler to deal with, your own eating/general needs goes to pot and you focus on feeding and seeing to your child. Well today that happened, and although I have been to the gym and done an additional workout in the way of walking 4 miles with Izzy, I don't feel like I have eaten enough, which isn't good, especially after the workout I have just done. And it is now 21:14 and my tea is still cooking!! And as a result, I am keeping it light with just chicken and veg, no carbs at all. Tomorrow morning I am going to be STARVING!
Ah well, I try and do my best with this and fit everything it. It's not easy, but the motivation carries me though! 

Something else I struggle with (and I don't know why!) is water intake! I have all the best intentions to drink loads and I just don't do it. This isn't good at the moment, because I have taken the mass amounts of tea and coffee I used to drink out, so I am lacking in liquids. Even the water reminder app on my phone can't get me to do it!? What is it about water!? Any tips on how I can get into a habit with it would be appreciated.
