It’s all up to me

You all kept me from indulging in a soft pretzel w/cheese less than 15 minutes after I burned 1200 calories on the treadclimber.  I got up at 4:15 again and did pilates/yoga for 40 minutes and then went to the gym for an hour after our mind-numbing meeting and then was off to the store to get the rest of the Thanksgiving supplies.  Sam’s Club has fantastic pretzels w/cheese and I was going to get one, figuring that a few hundred extra calories weren’t going to matter considering that tomorrow is Thanksgiving.  Then I knew that the pretzel would be the beginning of the downward spiral that wouldn’t end until Monday morning so I held off, mostly b/c I would feel like an idiot posting on here that I chowed down right after a workout.  I honestly sat in my van before I went inside and told myself, outloud, “You are not going to order a pretzel, you are not going to order a pretzel, you are not going to order a pretzel.”  If my sweaty-stink from my workout didn’t keep people away the crazy-lady image sure did.  Either way, I made it through Sam’s and the grocery store w/o picking up anything that wasn’t healthy.  Yay, me!

Tomorrow I’m going to allow myself to enjoy Thanksgiving but not give myself permission to lose control.  If it’s good, I’ll eat it, but if it’s not I won’t.  I don’t know if I’ll get a chance to workout or not; my hubby does all of the cooking (I know, I’m so lucky) and as much as I know that I deserve time to exercise he is going to be busting his butt for hours and hours, I’m not going to make him watch the kids, too.  But come Friday I’m back on track.  I’m going to workout right when our nurse arrives and then spend the day putting up the tree and going out to lunch w/a friend.  I’m hoping we’re going to go to Applebee’s b/c they have a WW menu that shows the calories, it’s pretty good.

Progress toward workout goal:  111/250
