Well....I kinda broke that rule today. For the first time in months I threw up during a work out. Bleck! I totally wimped out!!! It was my own fault because I failed to eat breakfast before I went. BIG MISTAKE!!! Who knew that hitting the snooze button 1 too many times could have so many unpleasant consequences! It probably doesn't help that I have been eating horribly lately. If it even looked healthy I didn't want to touch it!! Bring on the doughnuts, cookie salad, fried food, pie, ice cream, mini candy bars...you get the picture. The mere idea of an apple has been a revolting thought...let alone actually putting it in my mouth. Well today, I suffered the consequences! No more junk food! I have to get on track or I will never meet my goals and I have some pretty big goals!! I left the gym after the unfortunate projectile vomiting situation but I fully intend to go back today, or at least ride my bike for a while.
One of the biggest challenges I have faced through this process is balancing my life and workouts. I tend to go the extreme. Either I spend all my time at the gym and completely ignore any sort or social life/family, or I spend all my time socializing and totally abandon my workouts. I have tried to blend the two worlds with walks on the greenbelt or bike rides, but it has proven difficult. Not all of my friends are as active as I am or if they are, they don't have the time when I am available. It is hard because I get sorta tired of working out alone. I have a feeling that I am going to be struggling with this balance for the rest of my life if I am going to continue down the path of living healthier.
There has been one major incentive to go to the gym...the guys. There are two insanely cute guys at the gym. One works there and one simply lives there (at least that is what it looks like). Suddenly the gym is so much more fascinating...well at least on Wednesdays!!! =)
We will see how this week goes. Hopefully I find some balance and maybe a few carrots!
