Journey to Glam

Today has just flown by and I feel so fabulous! Turns out I didn’t end up making it to the gym last night which makes today the first day that I’ve been to the gym in atleast over a month and certainly since I started WW…gosh, sometimes on days like this I don’t know why I ever stay away from the gym! I mean, nothing, nothing compares to the high you get after a good workout right? So as long as I can learn to put my feet out that door and just turn of the war in my head thats coming up with a thousand excuses, it turns out to be a fantastic day! It’s like those few minutes after I decide to head to the gym my brain goes into absolute overdrive trying to come up with every reason not to! oye vey.

On the food front, I skipped breakfast which left me starving by the end of the day so I did indulge in three small pieces of pizza which would have been fine if I didn’t then proceed to eat 10 points (yes, really, ouch) worth of M&Ms mindlessly. Oh well, lesson learned…breathe in, breathe out and move on…and eat breakfast! Oh and its TOM…not that its an excuse but I’m sorta using it as one at the moment, so shoot me.

Okay, sex in the city is on and I’m ready to watch and hit the sack. Here’s to a better on plan day tomorrow but you know what? I am patting myself on my back for being honest with myself and fessing up and moving on. Its not one wrong bite that makes us fat…its taking wrong bites over and over again because you messed up the first time that makes us fat.

Happy hump day.

I had a 7 am meeting this morning so I went to bed repeating the mantra to not hit snooze! Normally I’m bursting with morning energy (okay, maybe not bursting but I make it out okay) but last night I was up way way too late after a LONG dinner with a friend that is going to Spain for 7 mons so we had to make up for lost time. Either way, I woke up at 6:56 am so that was an exciting start to the day…Since then I’ve been running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to run errands.

I’ll start posting daily journals starting tomorrow. Right now, I’m off to the mall to get some new pants (Its alarming how much I need to get some new pants!) and then I’ll be hitting the gym so catch everyone tomorrow. Here’s hoping to a good rest of the day for everyone!
