So today I failed at going to the gym, however, my failure was not complete. I did follow my diet...for the most part. Hey! Don't judge me!! It was free taco day at DirecTv and everyone knows there is nothing more delicious (other than cheesecake) than FREE tacos!!! I did manage to eat only 2 small ones and even though the deliciousness of the mouth-watering morsels of Mexican food beckoned me...I did not go back for more. I was strong. I said "no" to temptation. I was victorious! In addition to winning an epic victory over temptation, I followed my diet plan today!! So excited!!! I even cooked...and by "cooked" I mean used my microwave...dinner tonight!! It was a delicious meal of grilled chicken.
My main failure was that I didn't make it to the gym tonight. Bad...I know... I needed to go BUT (and here come the excuses) I got home later than I intended, talked to an amazing friend on the phone, needed to do laundry, had to practice my under-water basket weaving skills, put WD40 on my chainsaw chain, re-built the engine of my car, alphabetized my hand sanitizer and bath gel, and finally did a scientific study on what came first...the chicken or the egg?? The results of my study were inconclusive.
So...perhaps I should admit that I didn't do EVERYTHING on the above list...I didn't actually get to do laundry because I was out of soap. I am fairly certain that missing the gym to WD40 a chainsaw chain on a chainsaw I don't actually own, is definitely important. We all have to have priorities!! In all honesty, I blame my friend Tory for my lack of gym time. That's right! She's the one that cleaned my apartment and made it all welcoming and homey and clean-smelling! If my place had stayed a jungle of laundry and makeup and all sorts of random stuff that was taken out of my car...I would have wanted to leave ASAP and rushed immediately to the gym!
The good news is that because I accomplished SOOO much tonight, I will have plenty of free time to spend with the treadmill. The other piece of good news is that I haven't gained any weight. Even with my lack of activity, I have managed to maintain the same weight from last week. My focus is to lose 3lbs by next Friday. I have decided that my end goal is 25lbs by September 23, 2011. Rather than fixating on that end goal, I am going to look at each week as an individual opportunity to succeed!!!
Hammer Time!
