I've been operating on very little sleep, the weather has been ugly, and I got suckered into buying an $18 bag of popcorn.
This isn't even half as good as a Girl Scout cookie but that hasn't stopped me from eating my weight in triple chocolate delight popcorn. Let's just call it carbo-loading.
Happy Jerzday!
What's your carb of choice?

The Uninspired, Guilty Mind
Hi! I really meant to post something last night. I really wanted to but just couldn't come up with anything I wanted to write about. I think it's because I have not been eating nutritious things and I have not been working out either and I didn't want to tattle on myself :(
I started this blog as a way to keep myself accountable in my pursuit of a healthier lifestyle so I could be a better example for my daughter. Ommission was not part of that plan. So here it goes:
I have not worked out since last Friday. I realize that it has only been four days but I really think it's affecting me mentally. First of all, I'm tired, like ridiculously tired. All I want to do is sleep. Second of all, I want to eat and eat and eat some more. Third of all, my mood is a little (or a lot, depending on who you talked to) poopy.
So I have now learned that exercise is my "drug" of choice. In the absence of my "drug", I get cranky and attempt to self-medicate with food. I gorged myself on roast beef and gravy last night. It was super yummy but the feeling of poopiness has remained.
The good news is that I have a session scheduled with Patrice tonight :) I couldn't be happier about receiving a butt-kicking! I really hope this will elevate my mood and reinspire me to get up at 4am to get my workouts done.
