My First Spinout

I didn’t do so well this weekend. I’m blaming the snow (all fourteen inches of it) that fell from Friday evening until Sunday night. I didn’t workout because I figured I could substitute shoveling.

Why didn’t I workout after I was literally so adamant about doing it every single day? It was so easy on Friday to just… not do it. I didn’t get home until 11:30pm on Thursday and STILL managed to do some cardio before bed (probably not a great idea, but it was an attempt to save my soul).

I ate so well during the week and 90% of Saturday, but made some bad choices while doing some last minute Xmas shopping. A quick meal at Panera put me sixty calories from my daily limit — at 2pm!! I was so frustrated and hungry by the time nightfall came that I ate.

And ate.

And ate.

I still ate much better than I normally would, but it was a let down. I was let down by my set back on Saturday, so I ate like shit yesterday — the bulk of it coming from four slices of cheese pizza from the Mom ‘N Pop pizza place a few strides from my front door. Was this an attempt at making myself feel better?

What happened to the cardio?

I spent the weekend wondering if I should enter my mistakes into FitDay and decided against it.

No one will know…

Oh, really? I am pretty sure they will. After all, ‘body by pizza’ isn’t just a snazzy handle, it’s the truth. To write about it or to let it ‘slide’? Can’t I just tuck this tiny set back somewhere out of the way?

If I want to change these bad habits and to change the way I do things, then I need to be honest with myself. I entered most of the food I ate this weekend into FitDay. When I arrive home after work, I will finish entering in the nutritional information for those things I do not have numbers for.

While I feel like I could have done so, so, so much better, I know I could have done so, so, so much worse. I’m back on the weekday schedule. Let’s see if I can do better before this Christmas thing hits…
