OK folks. Let me be straight with you. This week has been bad. Actually, this week has not been bad - it has been terrible. OK, I am being (overly) dramatic. Nothing bad has actually happened in my life. It's just that I can feel myself lowly slipping into back into my bad habits. I have just been eating TERRIBLY this week.
*cue dream-like flash back*
It all started with Super Bowl Sunday. My entire family was over to celebrate Alyson's, my bro's girlfriend, birthday. She's a vegetarian so most of the food was sans meat, except for a couple of items since my nieces wouldn't have eaten the other stuff. Lunch was fine...but was very quickly followed by cupcakes. I L.O.V.E. cupcakes. I have a weakness for cupcakes. I would be happy to drown in a sea of cupcakes. My sister had bought a dozen cupcakes for the occasion and I had one-half of three different flavors (red velvet, lemon, and vanilla for those interested in knowing)...which equates to 1.5 full delicious, butter-filled, frosted cupcakes, or as I call them, gifts from Heaven. Then for dinner, I made crock-pot pulled pork sandwiches. Delicious, easy, and filling but hardly heart-healthy. Then Katie, the devil-woman with seriously adorable children LOL, left a carton of Heath Ice Cream in our freezer. Needless to say that the carton was finished in record time by myself and the hubby..
And the feeding frenzy has not stopped. I have had a doughnut, about 3 sodas, and a few pieces of chocolate this week, in addition to the two lunches I have had to buy. And it's only Thursday! Now, I know you could probably spit out all the reasons why this stuff is bad. Believe me, I tell myself all the reasons why I shouldn't have refined sugar, simple carbs, and tasteless junk. The fact that I continue to eat these things despite knowing I shouldn't makes it worse. BUT I know it's just a bad week - lots of stress I've been under - and that next week I will be back to my regular routine.
On the up side, I have been consistently working out. Jay and I are on week 2 of P90X and the soreness I felt in week 1 has seriously lessened. Good and bad. No weight or inches have come off but no weight has come on either. Happy about the latter. But we haven't been working out in the morning so our workouts have been creeping into our regular sleeping time, which means less sleep for me. I'm hoping next week we can resume our 5 AM workouts so that I can get dinner on the table and sleep at a decent hour. We also need to figure out how to work more cardio into our workouts because right now I only get about 2 days a week of cardio. Yikes. OK, my pity party is over.
Happy Workout Folks!
This song plays in my head when I eat badly...Enjoy :-)
