Back to the gym, week 1

I didn’t want to just post an inspirational note about how I got back on track of losing weight after going to the gym one day! So, I’m making myself accountable by posting how it went last week.

I went to the gym four days last week, yeah! There were a few challenges, but overall I was happy with my dedication.

Ok, so here’s my excuses for the days I didn't go...

The day I was told I was going to be laid off from work, I came home and took a nap. I wasn’t so sad or anything, but I guess I just had this feeling of… I don’t really want to think about it tonight. So I took a nap for a few hours and when I got up around 10pm, I went to 7-11 for some cupcakes. I knew that wasn’t the best idea, but as I’ve mentioned before, if I make the choice to eat it I’m going to enjoy it. So I did! I also told myself the cupcakes would be my dinner so I wouldn’t make that day of eating any worse. But then my friend came over later and we went to Weinersnitzel. It’s very close to my house, so we walked at least! I wasn’t going to get anything because it was already close to midnight, but the food smelled soooo good. I ended up having a hot dog and fries. Oh well, it was better than being depressed about losing my job. Just kidding!

I went back to the gym the very next day.

The other two days off from the gym were celebrating days.

Once a month, my sister Tracy and I go out to dinner to celebrate LIFE. Friday was our day so we went to sushi. Mmmm, sooo good. And fun company as well!

Then on Saturday, my friend Michelle and I went to Union Square for our second annual holiday trip to San Franscisco. We had a blast, and felt more than worth not going to the gym that day.

Now, it’s Sunday, and I have every intention of making it back to the gym later today. Good? Yep, I think so.
