Sunday Recap

So I was a bit too excited about my 6lbs and got off track this weekend. Saturday night I planned to have a salad for dinner, but that turned into a turkey burger with side salad, plus big soft pretzels and a beer. Today I had donuts for breakfast. And I'm caring right now. As in I physically feel like crap. I can feel all my bad decisions just hanging out because I feel puffy, stuffed, lethargic. I need a serious detox to flush it all out and get right. I can't even think about stepping on the scale right now. 

How did I fall into this little hole? Well I was exhausted from the week and Saturday was rough. I didn't actually start moving till about 11am. I had my normal Starbucks (grande lite mocha frapp) on my way to the dog park. After that, I took a nap. Then I got my butt to the gym and did extra cardio since I missed Friday. Next I rushed around getting some food for the drive-in, showering, getting Molly's crate, packing an overnight bag, then off to Fort Worth to hang out. By time we made a decision about dinner, I was starving since I only had a 160 cal frapp all day. Then I was up way late and didn't sleep well because I could hear Molly banging around in her crate at Jenny's. Sunday I was up early to take care of some baby shower stuff and then on my way back home, I decided I wanted donuts for breakfast. So I ate 3 plus chocolate milk, then passed out on the couch with Molly for 3 hours. I was EXHAUSTED and still am tired as I sit here writing in bed. 

Let's just say I learned that my head goes out the window when things start to get crazy busy. And it is hard to balance being healthy, having a dog and a social life. Even my top 3 suffered this week. 

Water: Well...3 out of 7 days. And I FEEL it

Workouts: 4 cardio days and 1 weight days....still chasing that 2

Sleep: I had my butt in bed by 9:30 all week except Thursday and I think that's what messed everything up for the weekend.

I'm slowly starting to develop a routine I can deal with. Monday is light weight day, Tuesday is bootcamp, Wednesday is elliptical, Thursday is run, Friday will be heavy lift day, and Saturday will be another run. Monday through Thursday, I went according to plan...I even ran 5 miles on Thursday with a ton of energy to spare! Now it's getting Friday and the weekend on track. My body is still adjusting to all this and I realize just how important sleep is! When I slack there, my body can't perform.
