Airings of an Undercover Athlete- Life is Catching Up…
Well, the holidays are over. I survived, somehow!! I only gained 1.5 lbs. I was very excited because I love cookies. Cookies are my drug of choice. (especially, homemade sugar cookies with homemade icing and sprinkles) The icing on this weight gain is that I have been slacking on my workouts like a lazy bum. I can already notice old habits creeping. It is so frustrating.
I almost feel like I am watching a train wreck. I know how hard I worked to lose the weight I have lost. I should be the first person in line to kick my butt. But, alas, here I sit at 6:09 p.m., fully aware that bootcamp starts at 6:30, typing. And thinking about how my sister just showed up, at random, from Dallas to visit.
I also have six gift baskets to make for gifts that have yet to be given, three baskets of laundry to fold, two eyes that can hardly stay open, and a major migraine. On top of this, I have wedding invitations scattered about the house needing someone to put them together. (Of course, I will have to do them because I am a micro-manager. Side note: I am having a wedding the last weekend in February.) The question I have is: What is a girl to do when life catches up with her?
I know I should get up and get in the car drive to bootcamp and work my tail off. I know that’s not going to happen tonight. The problem is the slippery slope. Boy am I on one. I am amazed at how hard I am struggling to get back in the right frame of mind. Every time I don’t go to BC I tell myself I will make up for it. I totally do, if making up for it includes eating m&ms at mid-night tying ribbons around wedding invitations.
The more I miss, the more pressure I feel to get back in there. Then, when I don’t go I disappoint myself. And the slipping down the slope progresses. All I can say for now is that I will be there tomorrow night…
