On the up side, there is so much to celebrate these days, lots of birthdays, end of successful school year, graduations and weddings of dear friends. Only down side, every celebration involves food (mmmmm bread, cheese, dessert!) and staying out late. So I've been eating too much and then being too tired and sluggish to do an enthusiastic workout the next day.
This weekend, I'm going to 3 parties. I don't like the idea of forbidden foods; my favorite things that are the ones that are "bad for me!" I just have to remember that the first few bites are always the best so just stop there. My hope is by typing this out and sending it into the universe, I'll be more aware of what I'm choosing to eat and more purposeful about my weekend workouts.
Happy Friday!!

Ohhhh, how I can relate to being too tired to work out! Here's what goes through my mind as I run: "I'd much rather be sleeping, taking a nice long shower, curling up with a mug of hot chocolate and maybe some tiramisu, going to the dentist, pulling out my fingernails...." It's a mental fight for me every time. But I do like Shelley's strategy of paying it up front before partaking. Maybe you can exercise and/or eat before you go to the parties? Or, spending about 5 - 10 minutes imagining yourself eating a couple of bites, stopping, and enjoying the feeling of not overdoing it even more than the taste of the food.
ReplyDeleteIn a nutshell, this is how my weekend is about to plsy out...I'll be gravitating toward the veggie plates, even if that makes me miserable. I have to remember how hard I have been working and try to not completely screw that up. sounds like you may have been semi-successful with all your challenges, and I find that VERY inspirational!
