It hasn’t been that long….but, it feels like it!!

This has been a crazy weekend, starting with our winter trip to the zoo. Before you have me committed, let me explain!!! There was a really nice giraffe lady that told us to come in the winter because many of the animals are more active and vocal during the cold months. So…we decided to brave the cold….and it was WORTH it!! Not only did we learn that our (<–yes we’ve staked claim) giraffe has finally become pregnant, but holy crap the animals were relishing the cold weather. The lions were playing…and growling like crazy, the elusive red panda was playing in the snow, oh and we learned the zoo has a Starbucks. It was fantastic! Not to mention…no one goes to the zoo when it’s cold so we practically had the place to ourselves. ๐Ÿ™‚ We learned the birds created this beautiful 200lbย nest in the atrium, which we’ll be posting pictures of, and when the cold became too much there were plenty of indoor exhibits to warm up in. ๐Ÿ™‚ By far, it was one of my favorite trips to the zoo.

Aside from that, we also had my sister’s birthday and birthday party. Talk about chaos….*groan*. Currently, we are working on science fair projects…right before bed time. -.-

I failed slacked on my eating and workout plan. BUT!!! Tomorrow is a new day and we’ll be right on track again. Early morning run down will go as follows: 5am alarm, 15-20 min of yoga, 1mileย run, 1st day of Insanity, then of course…..breakfast!!!! Oh..did I forget to mention my brother put Insanity on my phone so we could transfer it to the computer…? I will start it tomorrow, and I’m taking weekly photos that I may or may not post on here. Eff it….we’ve all been there right? By this time next year…the goal is to be the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life! Fit and strong…not skinny fat, not underweight, not starving.

I make it a point to let you know when I screw up as well as when I’m doing well, so that you know you’re not alone. The key idea is to stay positive and never give up. So you ate that extra slice of pizza….evaluate, learn, and keep going!

Hopefully everyone is having a great weekend!!!

Well, get back on that proverbial bandwagon….don’t just lay there in the dust!! Don’t beat yourself up either, it’s ok to slip up. Your training yourself to become healthier and it doesn’t happen over night. Just take a deep breath and grab some water….start again. I would say start over, but that sounds so dooming and technically you are not starting over! You’re still going. ๐Ÿ˜€

Let me share yesterday’s experience with you….

Once upon a time….wait…wrong kind of story. My bad.

I woke up ohhhh, about an hour late!! Rushed to grab a quick breakfast, throw on clothes, and run into the out the door. I made it to school ten minutes late, realizing I forgot a lunch and snacks. *doh* Since I’m in school from 7 am to 3 pm, this was my biggest mistake of the day! By the time I finally got home my tummy hated me….I ate candy, cookies, an apple and two helpings of dinner. Feeling guilty and bloated, I didn’t even work out. -.-

Buuuut, today is a new day and I had the breakfast of champions!!! My water is ready….and as soon as the kids hop on the bus, p90x yoga will be kicking my ass. I’ll do an extra session of working out this evening and call it a day. My rest day for the week turned into yesterday so I’ll be working straight through the weekend. Improvising is my best friend.

Next time you feel like you’ve slipped, don’t let it be permanent!!! Drink lots of water to flush out your system, and make better choices from then on. Never give up. ๐Ÿ™‚

Until next time
