I fell off my diet a little bit today. Not bad. I woke up at 5:39am, which is 39 minutes late, but no big deal. I did have to skip a few exercises at the gym because of it though. A few sets of different bicep curls. I tried to make up for it later in the day, but no. Five pound weights just aren't going to cut it.
Here's how my day went: I got to the gym at 7am, roughly 1 hour later than I wanted. But I recognized that what I wanted wasn't realistic, so I suppose I will need to get over it. Anyway, I felt good, felt rested. Felt JACKED on my superpump! So I got to work, but somehow it took me 30 minutes to get through 2 supersets (4 sets each, so a total of 16 exercises). I guess that makes sense, but it totally pissed me off. At 7:45am I knew I needed to switch to cardio if I was going to get the half-hour in. So I did. Then I stretched and went to shower...no hot water at the gym, and then I dropped my bottle of Muscle Martini (that stuff takes care of cravings like NOBODY'S BUSINESS!!!). Luckily I didn't have to go straight to work, I had time to shower, so I shouldn't be so annoyed at the inconvenience. It was actually quite convenient that it happened that way today and not, say Friday, when I have a presentation to give at 8am.
Anyway, when I got home, I took a shower and I was overcome with tired. So I laid down for about an hour before I went to work.
The rest of the day was overwhelming and frustrating. And now it's 10pm and I'm hungry. But I ate 2 dark chocolates and 1 cookies and cream chocolate during class, plus a coffee with a tiny bit of French Vanilla creamer at 5pm (while I was putting Fix-A-Flat in my tire...THAT was an episode...ugh). So, I know in reality it's probably less than 100 calories of stuff that is not helping me toward my goal. My main concern is the downward spiral. I feel a little like I'm losing my cool. I have only struggled with diet one other time, and that was just because I was feeling disappointed.
Hm. Perhaps today just had to do with feeling frustrated, and maybe it doesn't have to be a downward spiral. Although, if I don't get my office and my home organized, I don't know how I'm going to escape it. So, I guess that's my plan. Organize my office and my home. Alright. I'll get working on that. And, I need to get back to my Chalene Johnson to-do list. I've been neglecting that and that also makes me feel helpless and out of control.
For now, I'm going to try to continue to get caught up on rest.
Goodnight.
