Well last wednesday my wagon hit a rock in the road and I fell off. I missed my workouts on Thursday and Friday and since Valentines day my diet took a nose dive into a soda pop and sugar filled hell. I am dedicated to climbing back on the wagon and continuing my journey. So far this has been a hard week. I have been working 12 hour days since friday and that leaves me little time to acomplish anything other than work and sleep and running kids to school. I feel like crap and my energy is low. I am tired and just want to sleep for about 9 hours (at once instead of over 3 days). I ordered some egg whites and protein bars to give myself some better choices when I am not able to get a meal in rather then relying on fast food.

At my job usually several times a week I will get assigned to be the food runner for everyone. People order food (mostly from McD’s or BK) and I will have to go pick it up for them. Everyone takes turns so I need to take my turn to. I usually don’t order anything but have eaten it twice since friday. This is a big challenge for me because I have to smell the food in the car all the way back. I love a good burger and fries and washing it down with a soda, so it is very tempting to order food also. I look at like sending an alcoholic to the liquor store to pick up alcohol for your party.

I have promised myself that this time I would not beat myself up over stumbling on my mission. It is going to happen sometimes. I will focus again on the goal at hand and keep my progress moving. So I now pick myself up from the road, brush myself off and climb back onto that wagon. I am going to install a seatbelt on it but if I stumble again I will pick myself up again. With each stumble you have to look at why it happened and how can i fix it in the future. my fix for this stumble is to drink a myoplex on my way to the restaurant when I have to pick up the food. That way I won’t arrive hungary and be tempted to go for instant gratification. 

Other then that I’ll hit a couple good workouts to end the week and that will get the juices flowing again.

Today ended my workouts for week 5. I started working out 4 days this week. Monday Chest & shoulders, Tuesday back & traps, Thursday Legs and Friday Arms. I switched it up since I seem to wear myself out on chest and back day and then didn’t feel like I was giving my arms the attention they need. I think I need to up my cardio to every day that my schedule allows time for it. I have only gotten in 2 sessions of cardio this week. I will do cardio tomorrow morning and then take sunday off and start hitting it again monday. Last Monday I did my weight and measurments and hit my 3 inch of waist goal so now I am going to go for 6 inches in the 12 weeks and see where that takes me.
