So, I had to stop posting for a bit there. Too disgusted with myself to show my face. Last Monday, had a GREAT leg workout with some cardio....and that's all she wrote. I did NOTHING until Saturday. Now, some could rationalize that a few days off would do me some good mentally. there was a buddhist saying:
- your life is like the string of a guitar...
pull it too tight - and it will snap
allow too much slack, and everything is out of tune
Well, first I pulled that string REALLY tight for 3 weeks and then I overcompensated on the slack. I think I may have been ok, but I am totally influenced by stress and weather. I HATE cold and have issues with the dentist (need serious drugs to even sit in the waiting room without crying - and yes, I'm 27 years old). Well, last week I had a root canal scheduled and it was cold and crappy out. Chick like me with no will power...sucked right up into that one! Not only did I miss the gym Tues - Frid, but also ate like it was going out of style. I binged on pizza, coffee with REAL sugar, Dunkin Donuts Coffee Rolls (yes, more than one!), McDonalds and Ben and Jerrys Ice Cream.
- oh my god, I can't believe I just admited that - I am truly disgusted with myself!
Saturday I tried to make up for some of it and combined my back/bi/chest/tri/abs workouts (Still sore today!).
Today is Tuesda and I still haven't got the workouts in order, but the eating is TOTALLY under control.
Too bad it is supposed to snow. I hate cold weather. I never make it to the gym at 5am in the winter months. I still set the alarm for 4:40 (and 4:45, and 4:50, and 5:00 and one at 5:10 that says "your late") but I just lie there in bed, snuggled under my down comforter. Stupid me, I went and made plans a couple nights this week too so that makes it difficult to hit the weights in the pm too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OK, now after reading all my whining and complaining and every excuse I could come up with - time to move on. I have confessed my sins to the public (or the VERY few people who know my blog address) and am ready to repent (no, I am NOT endorsing the Catholic Way of Life!)
Here is to my TONE Fody for LIFE!

It happens to everyone. No worries. You are human and stuff comes up.
The important thing is that you know why you did it and you are ready to get back into it.
Was it like a weight off your back to admit the binge? I hate having to confess my cheats but I swear it helps! Onto a new and better day...good for you! BTW- I despise the dentist too...
Okay Chell, you read my post on my blog about the doughnuts, ice cream, cookies, etc? We've all been there, but you're back on track and that's all that matters.
God yes - the monkey is off my back! Today is a new day!
