I had a fairly busy Friday with only a short window of time to get a workout in. I had issues with BOTH DVD players which had never happened before. It was really upsetting me because I needed to start RIGHT THEN to have enough time. I was really close to throwing in the towel and I caught myself saying, "Well, maybe it's a sign I'm not supposed to do this today." Really? I'm proud to say that I kept trying and the result was my 5th P90X workout in a row! As for Friday night, I said I was going to eat well at The Melting Pot, and we sure did! It was amazing, and I enjoyed every bite. Out of curiosity we weighed ourselves today and were only a pound up from what we had been the day before, so that was nice. ;)
This won't be a very insightful blog if I only share when I do everything right.
Today was Saturday and (prepare yourself for my excuses) we were busy! There were 2 basketball games, which cost at least 2 hours on the road, errands, and a family event tonight which ended with having one of our son's friends over until midnight. We certainly couldn't do an excercise DVD with a friend over. ;) Also, I should mention that the family event was a trivia night, and we always do our fair share of snacking at a trivia. So to sum it up we pigged out last night, ate a good breakfast and lunch but pigged out again tonight, and skipped today's workout. My day off was supposed to be tomorrow, so I can work out tomorrow instead, and then start Monday back on track, which doesn't seem too awful. I have to move past the unnecessary junk I ate tonight and find my energy and motivation back for tomorrow!
The day isn't too booked, there should be NO EXCUSES to not get my very favorite workout in!
Happy Weekend!
The Sunday update -- It didn't happen. I took my oldest two boys out shopping for Valentines, and groceries, and we were gone a lot longer than expected. Instead of getting them set up with materials and heading upstairs to focus on me, I helped them, watched, took pictures, stuffed 22 goody bags, and had fun. I really do enjoy Valetine's Day & the prep associated with the parties, but I should have made time for myself. One more excuse I can add is that my husband was gone all evening, and being home with the 3 kids and the above projects made working out low priority. I don't want to beat myself up over anything, but I want to get to a point where I'm disappointed to miss a workout, craving a workout, mad at myself for skipping, etc. Right now, I really don't care either way. I just know I should do it. I'm not sure if missing Saturday's threw me out of my pattern or not, but there is always going to be a "rest" day where you do nothing, and I can't let that one day off get me off track.
At this point, I'm technically only ONE workout behind.
