Choices and more Insanity

Every day I am amazed at the way  I am able to make choices, well good choices.
The other day I decided I wanted Ice cream so I walked to the store and purchased 1 peice. Previously I would have bought something and brought it home. Regardless of the size and the story I would have told myself, I would have eaten the whole thing.
My afternoon turned into evening today and by the time I got home it was dinner time. I had only had one meal today so lots of "extra" calories if I wanted.
I decided to treat myself to a little bit of pasta.
I weighed out the serving size and in looking at it and the calorie content decided it was too much. Now I waffled with it a bit and then scooped up half and  moved on.
Not so long ago I would have justified that other 1/2.
I like that my goals are my priority because that means I am finally making me the priority. Anything that does not get me closer to my goal, needs to not be there.Period.
I like that I no longer have the big argument about "deserving" going on in my head.
Rachel and I had a giggle the other night about talking to ourselves when shopping. It matters not if people think we are crazy as long as we are talking to ourselves about authenticity. Being true and authentic are all that really matter.
The other choice I make daily is doing insanity. Previously I would have let time contraints be an excuse. Now when I wake I immediatley plan that part of my day before I get out of bed.
Intent, living with intent whether its food, workout or words is without a doubt the most important habit I am incorporating.
So today was the end of week 2 of Insanity.
I really do like the program. Its short and to the point and also forces me to stretch and warm up, 2 things I tend to neglect.
What I find it the further into it you get the more you really get a workout. Form is key in this program and I believe that even if you only walked thru it you  would get in shape.
Everyday I find myself focusing more and more on form and later in the day I am finding myself more and more, sore.
Well I must  go and work some more on my goals. I  had promised myself to have them complete today and have not had the time.
I have also decided that my time frames will all be in 10 week increments. So increments will have a goal to meet, health,financial and personal.
Have a great weekend all.
