Complete Bust

I awakened this morning ready to stab the day with renewed efforts to winning the battle of weight gain. At the end of the day, I lost. Big time. This is how it happened.

First, I weighed...like every morning and saw that I had not gained or loss any weight. Okay, fine. Then I did my Wii Fit morning routine to learn that I needed to lose 1.3 lbs to meet my weight loss goal of five pounds. I'm really excited. Somehow, I became a whirlwind and quickly cleaned the living room, dining room, kitchen (sorry, I went to bed without washing dishes because I was soooo sleepy last night), folded laundry, and put on another load of laundry. Plus, I began breakfast. Somehow, my mind must have taken a turn because before I knew anything, I was sitting at the table mapping out what I needed to purchase from both Wal-Green and CVS. Mind you, I wasn't planning on going to Troy today.

My daughter had a play date with her bff and I remained with her because I LOVE her mom just as much as my child loves her child. Three hours later, the extent of my exercise has come from moving forward and then back on the oh so comfortable couch of my dear friend. The two of us discussed weight issues (as if she really has any...her overall goal is to lose 10 lbs! She'd accomplished it from where I sat) and laughed at the areas we would improve if plastic surgery funds ever dropped magically from the sky. I'm still looking towards the heavens hoping for a miracle.

So, I did not work on my Active Personal Trainer, nor did I walk my designated 3.5 miles. This has really got to end. Shoot, while I'm confessing, I might as well add the following deadly no-nos:
1. I ate pizza for dinner.
2. I ate half a bag of dill pickle chips (I'm still trying to figure out why I did that one)
3. I ate some of my daughter's frozen chocolate pudding.
4. I f*&(^%d up, but I am not going to dwell on it.

In the words of Scarlett O'Hara..."As God is my witness...I'm going to live through this." Yes, I know the rest is that she'll never go hungry again, but that would completely ruin the point I'm making that I have not given up. I lost this race today, but I still qualify for the marathon.

Peace.
