I started the week feeling strong. I had a plan and I was going to slay the week. That is not what happened!
My shoulder/arm hurt!
It was birthday week at work (two birthdays) and at home (one birthday)!
We were super short staffed at work!
I had to work late!
I was tired!
Yeah, yeah yeah, they were all excuses that I had this week!
It was a crazy week for sure. I was supposed to have jury duty on Monday. But on Sunday night when I called, I was excused. That turns out to be a good thing because on Monday we had one person out on PTO and two people called in sick. Had I still had to go to the courthouse for jury duty, there would have only been two people at work. Uhhhh you can't operate with only two people. Three is bad enough, but at least doable. I ended up working open to close on Monday. That totally threw my plans to get off work early, finish prepping dinner and then getting to the gym by 5 for my strength workout followed by an hour of zumba. Kinda hard to do all of that when you don't get off work until 5:15. (and work 20 minutes from home) I did make it to zumba at 6:30........barely.
Tuesday, I could barely function I was so tired. So of COURSE I didn't go to the gym to make up that strength training session that missed the day before.
Wednesday, my excuse was that I was busy....busy making a birthday cake for Jason. And maybe reading.
I made it to not other zumba class. (Saturday zumba wasn't my fault though...I had to work!)
But Yeah....you get the point!
Furthermore,I have plan/challenge that I have been working on since my little 'mini vacation' went by the wayside......what went wrong?
1. I am aiming for 5 fruits and veggies a day.........I was lucky to get 1 serving each day this past week!
2. I am trying to get 64 ounces of water a day...........does diet soda count as water? (It should, however I don't count it as water.....) SO yeah, I drank a lot of soda this week!
3. Exercise at least 3 times for the week? I got in one.......that Monday night zumba class!
4. Track my food....even if it's ugly. Yeah, that didn't happen!
It was bad. I know it.
I can't even say that today will be better. We are heading to Jason's parents house for his birthday lunch with them. There will be food. There will be cake. ARRRGGGHHHH
The plan though is to get in cardio and strength this morning at the gym. And tomorrow.....back to tracking...back to counting water. Back to the basics.
One of these 'restarts' will stick right?
