Week 3 Challenge – A Hiccup
June 14, 2011
Today I’ve asked myself, “Why are you doing this again?” Oh, yes, my health, to lose weight, to wear skimpy clothes blah blah blah. We’re only in Week 4, Day 19. I already know that if I were attempting to do this challenge with no one to check into, I would have chucked it all for a pint of Haagen Daz.
I got up this morning and sleep walked to the park. I was determined to get there today. I have the intent every morning, but it rarely happens and this week I’ve had no reason to not get up. It was a comfortable, breezy morning and there were already at 6 people out there. I was a little late, so I only had time for 4 laps, 2.4 miles. I was content with that, but I still felt like I needed to do more. I packed my workout clothes with the intent to walk after work today. At some point during the day, I remembered that there were 1/2 priced margaritas at the Mexican restaurant near-by. Over the course of the day I had talked myself out of drinks at least twenty times. By the time 6pm came, the first margarita was on my table. I am still feeling guilty, because this is so not apart of the Challenge. I’ve had several slip-ups since this started, but I’d be kidding myself, and you if I’d say I was doing a perfect job. I also wouldn’t be apart of this challenge if I were perfect with following weight loss rules. Anyway, tomorrow is a brand new day. . .
