Setback

It's hard to say, much less believe, but I've already had a day that was a total loss. I started off with a huge headache today upon waking up. But it was nice because my mom made pancakes and bacon, i.e. a non-healthy meal. I went pretty much immediately back to sleep after I ate (already a bad sign).

I slept until about 10:30, until my mom woke me up to run a couple of errands with her. We went out to lunch at O'Charley's, which I've never been to before, so I decided to get a yummy fried chicken sandwich since they were known for their fried chicken. I only ate half and decided to save the rest, which was a good move, but it still wasn't a healthy meal. Then I topped off that with 2 Dunkin Donuts doughnuts >:(

When we got back home, I took ANOTHER nap.  My headache finally started to cease after that nap, but then I went right into making dinner because Beef Rose takes about 2 hours to cook. Dinner wasn't that healthy either because it was red meat, butter, wine, pasta, and a lot of other unhealthy things aside from the mushrooms. I also had the other half of my sandwich as a snack just a few minutes ago. AND a Ginger Ale when I'm not supposed to be drinking soda .__.

On top of all of that, I didn't do my scheduled workout today. If it wasn't for my killer headache, I think today would have gone a lot differently. But it's still an excuse, even if it's fairly valid. So tomorrow will be damage control. Instead of starting the calendar over (that one whole day... haha), I'm just going to go straight to Day 2 as if today never happened. Getting back on the wagon is all I can do. And fortunately, its' easier to keep track of my diet and exercise during the week.

The only thing I'm weary of is having my "day off" on my workout calendar on Saturday instead of Friday now. But I'll make it work!

Sorry to have such a disappointing post today. But I can only let it inspire me to do better the next day instead of destroying myself with guilt and letting it discourage me.

I also wanted to mention that I've decided to only weigh myself once a week, maybe on my "rest day" so that I won't get too obsessive and discouraged about not losing weight every single day.

Hopefully this is the last failed day I'll have. At least for awhile.

UPDATE!!!

I just convinced myself to do the scheduled workout today as a last ditch effort and it worked!! I'd really like to thank this blog in part. I think admitting my guilty day in writing honestly pushed me to put in some last minute effort. And I even did it with umph! I don't know if I would have been able to do it if it wasn't an ab-focused day. Ab workouts (though I don't really have any), tend to be the ones I'm best at. I don't think I could have gotten through a set of cardio or anything else. But none-the-less, I at least got in my workout and I'm right on schedule again.

Hooray for last-ditch efforts!
