Soo-prise! Soo-prise!
Guess what didn’t
happen last week?! 30 Day Shred.
Instead, on Thursday, I drank 4 glasses of Malbec and
watched the meteor shower. Then Friday… I can’t remember what I did Friday. I
think just sat in front of the tv. Saturday during the day I did Christmas baking
and tried to get the house organized. Sunday… I did nothing. I thought about
working out for a brief moment, and then decided a nap would feel better.
Priorities. PRIORITIES!
My Christmas treat splurges led to a 1 lb gain last week, as
well. Pretty bummed about that. That week of being under 190 was pretty
fantastic… but alas:
Official weight @
12/14/2012: 191 lbs.
This week, the baby has been super sick. This also means I'm functioning on very little sleep. How little? Let's just say I seriously considered just doing 30 Day Shred at 3am the other morning.. just to "get it in". That would never be a good idea, and would only seem like a good idea when either a) totally drunk, or b) totally sleep deprived.
Some good news: I've only had 1 cigarette in the last going-on 4 days. I didn't make a conscious effort to quit, nor am I deciding to make any conscious quitting effort - but if I can get through this week/weekend without feeling the need to suck down half a pack of cigarettes while consuming alcohol, we'll go ahead and call it "success".
Another unexpectedly positive side-effect of baby sickness: I have eaten under 1800 calories all week. Which is honestly where I probably should be since I haven't been active, like, at all for the last 6 weeks. Almost all of those foods have also been healthy, whole foods. GO ME.
But seriously... I need Nolan to recover from this Dreaded Sickness. We're all miserable and exhausted and about to seriously lose our cool over some really superficial stuff. Me especially. I wanted to punch a wall when I realized someone had eaten the last hamburger bun today. I mean, I'm a pretty high-strung person, but that's pushing it even for ME.
I think I've reached this point where I'm pretty much just going to try to push through the Holidays without gaining 10 lbs, and pick back up that whole exercise thing after the New Year. Perfect time, right? If I get the random motivation to start 30 Day Shred between now and then, then so be it. But I'm tired of beating myself up over it when things are so busy and stressful. Part of this feeling is a bigger more helpless feeling that what I've gotten into here - but that's a whole other post which will probably go up later this week.
Stay tuned!
