Is it seriously November 2nd? Why does time have to go so fast? Since I've been a little off the radar for the past week or so, I wanted to fill y'all in on what I've been up to...
If I could sum up the past week in 3 words, they'd be Tulle, Flowers, and Fatness. Take a wild guess.......ding ding ding! Yep, I went off track again. Definitely just drove myself completely off the road, into a ditch, and kept on goin. I know what you're thinking, imagine that-she messed up again. And you're right, I did. I ate fast food, candy corn, pizza, chocolate, and drank wine. Why? I wish I had a clear answer. Maybe because Halloween made me feel like a kid again. Maybe because I had a crap-ton of stuff to do and needed more hours in the day. Maybe because I put myself last on the list of things I had to take care of.
Besides my full-time job, I had flowers to do, tutus to make, dessert to make, and more. There were a couple of times I even laughed at myself...like when I was doing kettle bell swings in a tutu, spraypainting a pumpkin and doing flowers in a cape after boot camp, and when I actually delivered flowers in a tutu and cape (What? Your florist doesn't do that?). Here are some pics...
Me and all my boot camp buddies(love them!!!):
Me and my co-workers (love them too!):
And fun flowers I made for a client's birthday:
By the time Friday afternoon hit, I. Was. DONE. I was completely exhausted from all the madness, so I came home, took a shower, and watched Hocus Pocus then went to bed. I know, I'm old. On Saturday, I went shopping with just my Mom (which we haven't done in forever), washed my car, got groceries, and spent about 4 hours cleanin the house. I even cleaned out the fridge. It was great! Now it's Sunday. And guess what...it's a new day with a new opportunity to do things differently.
I know I started a "Holiday Hottie Challenge" last month, but I'm not doing it anymore. Mostly because I don't want to have a finish line, and I feel weird calling myself a holiday hottie (jingle babe sounds cooler, right?). That being said, I'm going to start a long process that I like to call "burnin fluff". Which means logging everything I eat (cause it keeps me honest), continuing to workout even on weekends, and pushing myself to do better from the inside out. Just to keep myself accountable, I will be posting a progress pic at the end of each month to see how I'm doing.
Even though I had a blast last week, I didn't enjoy the feelings of guilt from stuffin my face with junk. I don't want to go back to the old fluff-covered self-conscious me. I want some muscles and confidence. I'm tired of backtracking, and I want to move forward. Is it going to be hard especially because of the time of year it is? Yes, duh. But I can manage it. Why? Cause I'm a champ. And champs don't quit.
