OK. It's two days into the new year (if you don't count Jan 1st..because who really does anything that day anyway). Already I'm a failure at my so-called resolutions. The biggest one for this year wasn't diet-specific, just a focus on health and wellness. Work out more, eat better, maybe do some yoga. Less alcohol, find a church... just overall strive to be a better, more well-rounded person. The easiest to control, or so I thought, was the "eating better" part.
I got off work early today and was very excited. I was going to the grocery store to load up on delicious, healthy treats and then a trip to the gym. I loaded up alright...but on crap. I made the mistake of going to the store while I was starving. I came home with a few fresh goodies, but mainly a cabinet chock full of carbs. That's what I was craving and so that's what I bought. I even bought ramen. Wonderful.
I get home and decide that I need new songs for my iPod so I can kick ass at the gym. While those are downloading, I make dinner. Suffice it to say, I didn't make the salad or grilled chicken and asparagus that I started out to make. I made, essentially, a bucket of carbs. And I ate every single bit of it.
I would like the record to show that not only did I ingest a serving of deliciously creamy noodles the size of my head, but I did it while I was reading the new OK! magazine which will tell you celebrity diet secrets. Yes folks I ate my weight in pasta while looking at Kardashians and Playboy bunnies and athletes. Now, I'm realistic. I know I'll never weigh 95 pounds or be a size 4. Please have me placed in a program if I become that kind of waif-like gal. But come on!!! Mandy!!! Two days into the new "health and wellness" attitude that I set for myself, and I'm in a carb coma. Literally.
I still wanted to go to the gym today, but at the moment it's out of the question. I am crampy and miserable, not to mention really sleepy. And it physically hurt to lean over the chair and pick up my laptop because of the bloat.
So. I am now going to take some Tums or Rolaids or other digestive aid and probably curl up and go to bed early. I'm very sorry gym that I will not be visiting you today. But, there's always tomorrow. We all stumble and fall down a time or two before actually climbing up the mountain, right?
'Night!!
