Day 35 - Setbacks and Thin Mints

So I'm sitting here right now watching the closing ceremonies of the Olympics, drinking some tea, and debating whether or not I should have another Thin Mint. My vote is yes, as I continue to wallow in my own pity party. Why? Because I'm mad at myself. It was only a week ago that I set new goals for month 2 - to workout 4-5 times per week and to keep a food log. And now I'm writing this, having done neither of those things this week. And I've been eating terribly all weekend. Ugh....

The week started out so well too. Lift and Sculpt on Monday, Spinning on Tuesday, and Lift and Sculpt again on Wednesday. Then I planned to take Thursday off because I was getting my hair done, and that can take a while, so I didn't feel bad when I missed Thursday. Then Friday I was going to go to Lift and Sculpt, come home, make cupcakes for my friend's birthday, and have a great time at his party. And all of those things happened - except for Lift and Sculpt. I got out of work late, and it set my whole schedule off. Then add on the terrible late night eating on Friday and the ordering of lunch on Saturday afternoon, and I was feeling sick, bloated, and just plain gross.

And you'd think that would have been enough to get me off my ass and on the treadmill right? Nope. Couldn't even get myself to do that. So now I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself. And the rational side of me can see how pathetic and useless that is - I get nothing from doing this. Yet I can't seem to help it. Everyone has those days when they feel bad about themselves for whatever reason, and mine just happens to come after a disappointing workout week.

But I think it's time to put away the Thin Mints, finish my tea, and leave my pity party. I was the only one there after all. Oh well. Back on the workout wagon tomorrow with a little Lift and Sculpt. Til tomorrow.
