Little Roadblocks On My Path

As in a path taken anywhere, a few roadblocks have appeared on this path I am on... first minor roadblock, the quinoa cooking didn't go as easily as I anticipated when I read on the box it could be cooked in the microwave! One half melted bowl in the trash and a nasty smell in the microwave later, I just went ahead and cooked the usual brown rice, but I won't give up, I will conquer the quinoa. But, on the upside, I did meet my new trainer and I am very excited to start working with her. Her views on working out are realistic and to the point and I feel like for the first time in a very long time this is going to help me and send me in the right direction. We met for about 45 minutes and when I left I was very pumped about working with her and even though it was going to be a little pricey I knew in my heart this was going to pay off. But some of that excitement was smushed (second minor roadblock) when I got home to discuss the news with my husband. I think the price of sessions took him by surprise, but after some (rather heated) discussion it was agreed upon, and I am going to the sessions. But the way he acted did upset me because I was so excited about this change. But I realize some of the way he responded could be because I have gotten "excited to change" before and said I would change and like I mentioned before, many times the attempts have been  fleeting and then I am right back where I started, or worse. So I guess, I can't blame him (totally), but what I can do is prove to him that this time it is different and that change is on the horizon so to speak. And I don't only need to prove it to him, but to myself as well. I hit one more little roadblock this morning when dressing for work realizing I am not happy with my body as it is right now AT ALL.  I did get a little down and frustrated (and grumpy) but I also realized that I am responsible for it and now I am responsible to CHANGE and get the healthy body I want and am satisfied with. I guess it is true that the only real thing you have control over is you and your responses to the world, so I guess not only am I choosing to change I am choosing to take responsibility as well. So the roadblocks can keep coming, I know they will, but I will get past them, they are just part of the path.
