November 1st, Ack!!

Well this certainly came up quick!  Damn.  I'm currently coming down off my food coma state that I put myself in knowing that this day was rapidly approaching.  FYI...I don't reccommend it.  But there is no sense of guilt today.  I enjoyed my indulgence, and now it's time to work.  Oddly enought, I already find myself making excuses to not workout.  Todays excuse...I wrote off the gym because I knew I had tap class later.  Then tap class was cancelled.  Did I change my mind and head to the gym?  Nope.  I was already out of that mindset and there was no going back.  So now I'm justifying it by telling myself I'm easing into it.  Yeah right.  I'll detox the diet now, and add the exercise back in next week.  Bahahaha...whatever I gotta tell myself I suppose.  That 30 pounds ain't gonna 'excuse' itself off my frame.  I did find a cute 10 minute stair workout that I can do during TV time tonight.  It's not thinky at all.  Simple and brainless...perfect for doing while I'm scolding whatever judge/contestant happens to be on the tube at that moment.

Food choices today?  Totally on target!  WW breakfast sandwich, campbells chicken egg noodle soup, and a granola bar.  Maybe a 50cal can of peaches to hold me till dinner before I go home.  Ah home.  That's where the real challenge comes in.  I know what's there.  A bowl of mini m&m's and chocolate chips left over from Hailey's halloween party yesterday.  A container of Pumpkin donut holes that Kel needed from the store.  Extra packages of blueberry mini muffins.  Small bite size things that I shove aimlessly into my mouth without even realizing I'm doing it.  THAT's where the trouble happens.  Focus and kitchen diversion will be key.

And then there's this weekend.  Aye.  A weekend away at a dance convention where all of my time will be spent patiently waiting for Alyson, Madison and Lauren to be finished with classes.  That's 8 hours of nothing, followed by dinner and lunch at hotel restaraunts.  Well, that should be a piece a' cake.

One thing I know, is that I will be taking my trusty purple binder with me this weekend.  Along with several blank calendar pages.  I'll spend some time making a workout schedule, and making playlists to go with those workouts.  That way, when I do get back home and am ready to add the workouts back in on Monday, I won't have to think about what to do.  It'll all be mapped out for me.  If there's one thing I've learned about this weight loss and exercise thing...

The less thinky I have to be about it, the better.
