My internet froze up, completely! To the point I had to buy some software called "System Mechanic" and when all else failed had to resort to reach out to the devil...my ex-husband (who happens to be a computer expert) for help. Needless to say I could not post anything since my only internet resources were from work (out of the question, too much to do) and my phone (are you kidding me?).
To add insult to injury (no pun intended) I seem to have pulled something in my leg so I could not do my weekly Zumba class and the slightest bit of movement (eg, walking) was painful so I basically could not do any cardio at all. I did work on my strength building and toning but I have to be honest with you, gave up on that on Thursday.
One could say I lost my mojo! Hey I am being honest!!!! I felt like the mole in whack a mole, every time I tried to pop my head out of the hole in the ground, something or someone was waiting on the other side with a huge mallet to knock me back down! It was extremely frustrating and disheartening to say the least. Oh and the icing to the cake is I am PMSing, so I am EXTRA sensitive to EVERYTHING!!!!
So considering my mood and in the sake for humanity (especially those I interact with on a daily basis) I decided to give myself a break. A break from the exercise and the point counting. I enjoyed a three day free for all (in moderation, since for some reason although I knew I was not doing what I should be doing somewhere my sub-conscious was saying...ah ah ah BAD JUDY!)
Sunday was the worst day! I went pumpkin picking with my son Ryan and our friends Jamie and Jake. I knew enough to have only ONE apple cider donut, but could not pass on the Fried Oreos (those things are EVIL) and my son insisted on Funnel Cake which of course I finished because I hate seeing food (even food that is bad for me) go to waste. For the record, it's impossible to stay on track when your kids are around. Well maybe not impossible but it sure seems like it, since I tend to act like a freakin' garbage disposal around him...finishing off what he leaves behind. That is one habit I am going to need to learn to nip in the butt if I ever plan on reaching my goal.
Overall, bad week (it happens) but not too much damage was done. I only gained 1.6 pounds so I am still ahead of the game. This week I have to focus and not let my monthly visitor hinder my progress by turning me into an eating machine. I just have to remind myself, it is not going to happen overnight....baby steps all the way and it's ok to screw up (I'M HUMAN). I just have to learn to get back on the wagon when I fall off and most importantly I need to be honest with myself, if this is EVER going to work!
