Holding Myself Accountable

I'm sure many of you know I am into fitness. I love crossfit and running and do it regularly. Exercise makes me feel awesome and it is my stress relief. I have always been athletic and I don't think that will ever change. Here is the issue ever since I had Braxton I have had trouble losing that final 10 pounds. Well after working my butt off constantly and still not dropping it my husband said, "Ashley honestly look at what you fuel your body with, garbage, how do you expect your body to change." Well off course I gave him some crap for the comment, but I knew he was completely right. I always gave myself an excuse for treating myself, you can have that Ashley you worked hard today. Ya you can feed yourself all the BS, but at the end of the day I am the one ruining it for myself. Lets face it when I run I run 3-6 miles, and anyone who's ever done crossfit knows it kicks your butt every time and I mean every time! I workout at least 4 times a week, but why even bother doing it all, if I eat the way I eat. Well here I am and I am going back to Paleo. Paleo is an awesome diet. You eat clean, meaning goodbye grains, sugar, dairy, and all the other junk. Basically you eat what the caveman ate. It is so simple. I have done it in the past, but always fell off the wagon. This time I am doing the 30 day challenge, no cheats! YES NO CHEATS! Whenever I have done this diet, I feel awesome, I have more energy then ever before and I swear within days I can already tell a difference. Lets just put it this way, this morning I was just starting day 4. I decided I would get on the scale even though I promised myself I would only check once a week because I don't want to get discouraged if it doesn't drop. However, I talked myself into it. I got on the scale looked at it and thought haha that cannot be right. So I hopped off and got back on again. I looked at it again astonished and said, "What the hell I am down 4 pounds already"! Here I have been beating myself up to lose 10 pounds and within 3 days of eating healthy I was almost half way there. It does work to fuel your body with good food, and to be honest whenever I even think about cheating I run myself through it and realize one it doesn't taste that good and two I would be so pissed at myself after I ate it. I always feed my son healthy food, so now its my time to practice what I preach. The point of my post is to keep myself accountable for what I am doing. I also want to show others what I am doing, in case it helps them. I will keep you all updated, because I am determined to do this not just for me but for my family!
