A little bit fatter, but feeling no guilt
Just spent the last three days in the Twin Cities of Minnesota for part two of training. The class was tough, but the evenings were fun. Each night, we went to dinner and had one or two drinks. No, I didn’t stay on-plan. Maybe I shouldnt say this, but I’m not feeling very guilty. I never ever go out of town or hang out with friends. Since I’m a full-time telecommuter for my employer, I hardly ever leave the house. I guess I just felt entitled to “let my hair down” and enjoy myself. Watching what I ate and drinking water just wasn’t my idea of a good time. Of course, I’m now paying for my lack of discipline from this week and in the previous weeks. My jeans are getting uncomfortably tight in the waste.
Now that all trips are out of my way for a while, I plan on getting back on the treadmill. I’ve been holding off as I didnt want to hurt my knees before I had to do a lot of walking around airports, amusement parks, etc. The previous field trip to Disneyworld and to Minnesota, plus Thanksgiving, have all been perfect excuses I’ve used for overeating. Yep, I do recognize them as excuses. Afterall, I’ve been at this since January and I really should know better by now. Also, Hubby and I got a home gym for Christmas. He found it on Craig’s list for cheap. So, now I can work out the muscles that support my knees…and get toned all over! I know that working out will have the added benefit of helping me get back on-plan. Afterall, who wants to expend all of that effort, then blow it all on something full of sugar and calories….and very very brief pleasure?!
