A dark, dark day

Well folks, I said I would share with you my successes AND my failures, so here I am with my tail between my legs saying, "I'm sorry I peed on the carpet!"  Wait, that was my cat this morning.  I did not, in fact, pee on the carpet, but I did derail myself significantly yesterday.  I started off strong with my oatmeal for breakfast, but lunch is where I started to go wrong.  At first glance, what I ate was pretty awesome, but I did not actually eat enough.  I then compounded my mistake by not eating my snack like I had planned to, so by the time I got to dinner at our Young Adult Fellowship pot luck supper, I was so hungry I was tempted to eat the fleas off our host's dog.

Instead of eating the fleas, however, I ate 5 or 6 Mini Reese's Peanut butter Cups, one fun sized Krackle bar, about 8 Ritz Crackers with cheese, and THEN I ate dinner.  I ate a whole burger, not the half that I was planning on, fruit salad - which sounds healthy except that it was made with peach pie filling as a delicious, heavenly, mouth watering glaze - two servings of potato salad, about 10 Doritos Chips AND a brownie for dessert.  This, boys and girls, is what they call "Falling Off The Wagon."

It's kind of a miracle that I only gained one pound!  That must be because of the muscle I gained from my 9 minutes of Zumba the day before. 

To make things worse, I did not actually exercise yesterday.  I'm not sure what my excuse was for avoiding my 30 minutes of extreme fun with the Doublemint Triplets but it comes down to three possibilities: 1. My back was hurting and I didn't think that the hip gyrations and waist contortions would be especially good for me, 2. I didn't have time (which is a bold faced lie), or 3. I decided to be lazy and lie on my bed playing on my phone for the 45 minutes I'd designated for my full body make-over.  I'll leave it up to you to decide which one is mostly likely the correct option.

So, folks, that's all the news that's fit to print for the time being.  Yesterday is done and gone, today is a new day, and tomorrow is just a gleam in my gorgeous brown eye.  Every day is an opportunity to succeed and that's all I can do - take it one day at a time.  But I do have to make a confession - that burger sure was DEEEEEE-LICIOUS!
