I'm disappointed yet motivated today. I made plans to do a lot this weekend (I made them awhile back) and although I still can do some of them I can't do the major ones. I was supposed to go to Great America tomorrow with a bunch of people. I love roller-coasters but at the same time it's an all day affair and I couldn't do the diet (and would have to replace it with the worst possible greasy food) or the exercises. On the flip side it will be one of the busiest weekends of the season (which means really long lines) and the whole thing is ridiculously expensive. So I told them thanks but no, and before I could explain why they said, "We're not too excited about it either because it's going to be really cold (it just started getting cold on friday), but the kids really want to go, so you know. . ." So I feel good about that. There's also a good music festival this weekend and I would have to eat greasy food and it's an all day affair. So whatever it's not like I having been to great American or gone to a billion musicfests. Instead of getting down I'm getting together with other friends, and monday I'm going to a cubs game (I can sit through those without drinking or eating). I know I get hungry faster so I'm eating right before I go and showing up in the third inning. So at least the whole weekend is wasted.
I'm motivated to continue because I'm the type of person that will just slack for a couple days and then just fall off instead of jumping back on. So I'm doing this. I feel good, and am seeing improvements. I'm glad my friends are not the type of people that hold it against you if you break plans.
8 minutes abs is hilarious to me, and that really is the reason I get through it well.
Ok apple, banana, and egg white dinner. Do me justice.
Every time I do 8 Minute Abs, I hear something else that makes me laugh that I didn't notice the last time. What a goofball! But the exercises are solid.
ReplyDeleteAll right--you guys talked me into 8-minute abs tonight. Stu, I think you could pack a lunch for the music fest if you wanted to. Whole wheat tortilla, chicken, guacamole wraps for lunch? You can guesstimate a piece of whole fruit that's about the right size, and just make sure you get lots of iced tea or water or whatever.
ReplyDeleteBut social engagements or no social engagements, you aren't slacking and you're far from falling off. We got this.
Ain't no harm in packing your own food! I can't tell you all the random places I've brought my tupperware!!
ReplyDeleteSorry you missed the music fest/roller coasters. I totally feel you on not being up to all-day affairs while doing the PCP. Great of you to be so on it. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteJust 3 months! The roller coasters will still be there!
