I'm in control of what I put on my plate...not what is made for dinner

I'm control of what I put on my plate, but not really in control of what is made for dinner. This is because I live with my in-laws right now. My mother in law makes all the dinners, sometimes I get some input, but not that often. So things I have to do sometimes is when my mother-in-law has absolutely no vegtables for dinner, I have to pull out my stash of vegtables and add it.

Yes, I do have my own stash of fruits and vegtables in my mini fridge. Yep, I'm the only one eating healthy around here.

So here am I to say..if this you.. you are not alone.

When my mother in law makes dessert and its not my cheat day. I say no thanks, and then go eat a Sugar free popsicle. You learn to deal. Measuring out portions and stuff.

So ladies..time to get savvy! You too men!

This is my challenge.. fighting off the haters

 

This hasn't stopped since I started hiking on one of the most busiest trails around here.

 

At least once a week I hear:  should you be doing this, are you okay, is this your first time hiking, you need to be doing something else, etc...

 

 

Ugh! Guess what I wanna hear. I'm proud of you, you go girl, you got this...which I do now get to hear.

 

I actually confronted someone with this after she told me I should go on a easier trail. Well I told her this "This is MY CHALLENGE, I don't care if I stop hundred times, as long as I get to where I'm going I'm happy." The lady patted me on the shoulder. smiled and walked away.

 

Do you know what? That same lady is my hiking bud I get to see. We have short conversations everytime I see her. She is now one of my biggest cheerleaders. Wow! Who would have thought that? She tells me when I look like I'm shrinking, she says wow you are going faster. I didn't expect it.

 

Now when people say stuf like that I love stunning them when I tell them 3times a week, I've beeen doing this for almost 8months now.

 

Guess what I learned, to set boundaries with people like that.  Have something in mind when people want to stomp on you too.

 

Don't let them haters get to you.
