Broken Promises

Well, sometimes there's just no good excuse for my behavior. I think it started with allowing myself to drink on Saturday. Not because I shouldn't be drinking, but because I made a promise and didn't stick to it. I don't know what happens mentally, I haven't done any research, but I think we all have been there whether it's with dieting or exercise or some kind of New Year's resolution. We stick to our guns for a good amount of time and then slip a little. But then we don't bounce back. Instead we just let that initial slip steam roll us until not only have you been to a wine tasting, but you've eaten 4 cheesecake rollovers and two handfuls of Bugles. All as an appetizer to a full meal at the barbecue area. Then to top it off, you decide not to exercise at all, instead you sit around and think about what else you can eat. Yikes. I'm sitting here tonight thinking about some of my poorer decisions starting on Saturday. And of course, I'm writing about not exercising and not exactly getting up to fix that.
Tomorrow is my weigh in and I'm sure I'm not going to be happy with it. At least it stimulates me to want to be healthy. I was thinking that I should do a twice weekly weigh in, because I'm not constantly worrying about the scale, but then it also gets me back on track before I get out of control. I'm thinking Tuesday and Saturday. I'm going to try that this week and report.
At least work is going a little easier. It took about a year, but I'm understanding what is expected of me in my position, what the paperwork entails, and what other people need from me. Sometimes it's a little overwhelming because you can never really perfect it, but I feel like I am getting a handle on it much better. Plus I can look forward to the kids being on Spring Break starting March 24. And right after that Mom comes out to visit.
I still have some time to perfect my healthy eating and get some rock hard abs from all the workouts I'll be doing before Theresa and Shane's wedding. I figure I might start wearing bathing suits again around that time, so it's a good goal.
This week- Kickboxing Tuesday and Thursday. Walk the dogs on the beach on Wednesday after work. Friday off. Saturday- walk with Ananda or by myself. I gotta just suck it up and go for a walk on my own and stop being such a baby. Sunday- walk again or home DVD workout. Monday Kickboxing.
I've been drinking tons of water, so I did meet one of my goals from this week. This next week I'm going to work on my after work snack. Usually I have something in my lunch box to eat on the way home because I'm generally hungry again by that time, but then I still want to eat when I get home. So I need to plan for this and having something very small in the car and have something waiting for me at home so I don't go scrounging for chips or crackers.
