I'm Out

So my whole ambitious move to do P90X is going to be put on hold. I realized that I can't switch what I am doing and do something else because it makes me unmotivated. Last week I was having a hard time wanting to exercise and eat healthy because I was straying away from what I had already set in my mind. Plus P90X is REALLY hard. I am just going to go back to what I was doing and get my motivation back and work it that way. I'm usually a quitter, but it's for other reasons. I don't feel like quitting this routine is a failure because I am going to go back to what I was doing before and jump back on my train. It's not moving as fast, but it is moving. And I feel like it is a safer bet for me.
I have also decided to cut out most of my carbs. I think I eat WAY to many carbs, especially when I get home at night because after school, I don't want to go home and eat something heavy so I grab a bowl of cereal, so now I am going to try keeping a salad on hand with some broiled chicken and make it healthy that way. Then I am getting more protein and less carbs, but still eating healthy. I am not going to cut out all carbs because I want a balanced diet. I am trying to keep my Carbs at around 60 to 70 carbs a day. Not as extreme as others, but still I think a decent goal. I probably eat 200 carbs everyday as it is right now. I think this will be much better.
With the price of food lately it is really hard to eat extremely healthy. For the first time in a long time when my wife and I went to buy lettuce, iceburg was more expensive than romain and regular green leaf lettuce. It is getting so hard to eat extremely healthy. In conversation, my wife and I have decided that if we eat the right proportions anddo our exercises everyday, then we can be healthy. Now I don't think that means that we can eat mac and cheese every day, but it will help keep some money in my wallet her purse. We haven't quite made that transition yet, but the time will come here shortly where we are going to have to make that sacrifice.
Well it's a new week and time to get back on track.
