After an impromptu trip to the beach over Spring break, I'm back home.
Let's just say I didn't do too well over the past ten days......at all. See, I have this problem call "Hand to Mouth" disease. The symptoms of this disease is finding any food (preferably sugar and carbs), picking it up and placing it in the mouth. Then, this process is repeated over and over and over and over again. Yes sir, I have this disease worse than anyone I know. In fact, it is made worse by sitting in the car for hours with candy all around. The exacerbation I had was so severe that the stocks of the candy companies should have skyrocketed last week.
Yes, I joke, but it was not a good week for me on the diet front.
Did you know there's always some reason to eat yummy food? Let's see, there's Easter, birthdays, trips, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Valentine's Day to name a few. Something has to change. Since I'm certain the holidays are here to stay, I have to be the one to change. Wow, that's so easy to write and so impossible to do it seems to me.
Now I have to come up with a plan since everything I've done in the past month was destroyed in one fatal swoop.
Here's my plan:
1. Do at least 30 minutes of cardio on the days I work out with Steve.
2. On two to three other days of the week, I will do 45-60 minutes of cardio.
3. I will drink my water.
4. I will write everything down.
5. I will make an abbreviated plan to help me survive all the celebrations.
I really do hope this works. I am DREADING the weigh in two weeks from now. I will weep if the scale shows I haven't lost any or have gained weight. I don't want to embarrass myself like that. Here's hoping to a super duper successful two weeks!
Thanks for keeping it real, Ginny! Be encouraged ... I hate HORRIBLY over spring break and didn't run at all. I really am just a big marshmallow right now! It's not the off-weeks that count, it's your overall commitment to being healthy and you're doing a great job at that! Everybody needs to have cheat times - or else we'd go insane!
