Bad Decisions

Let’s talk about bad decisions… I know I’m not the only one who has been there and done that!  This past weekend, I made a string of bad decisions.  No, not the ones that landed me in jail or kicked out of my house or even in the hospital (although I kind of feel like I should be there right now!)

I made some of the WORST eating decisions of my life…. and folks, I’m paying for that crap!  I’m sure I made some other bad decisions this weekend, but I am feeling the gross-ness of what I chose to eat this weekend while at home on “vacation” or “stay-cation” I guess.  I went to the movies twice where I indulged in the buttery goodness of popcorn, although it doesn’t feel like goodness right about now.  While indulging in that, I also had my fair share of candy snacks.  I don’t know about you, but I buy my snacks at the store and sneak them into the theatre.  I can’t pay 4x the amount for some candy, I’m sorry… it’s ridiculous!  I did a lot of lounging around also, so that didn’t help that I was weighing myself down with junk.  Then on Friday night, I ran a super fun flash race at night.  I mentioned that I would be doing that, but it was one of those races that had beer.  So I had a small beer afterwards which didn’t help.  Then hung out with some friends another night and had my fair share of a frozen pizza and quite possibly another beer.  Then there was the late lunch, snack, and early dinner day where I crammed a crap ton of food into my pie-hole probably within 4 hours tops.  Oh my bad, I actually had 2 lunches that day…

So yeah… welcome to my life of disgusting!  So I feel like crap today and I felt like crap last night, but I made the drive back to Starkville so I could be back in time for ROTC workouts and I did my hour of yoga.  It felt great, but I felt gross doing it.  Then I woke my tired butt up this morning to do the 5AM thing… yeah, can I just admit RIGHT NOW, that the workout this morning was the worst workout I’ve had in a really.long.time!  Granted, before ROTC this month, I wasn’t doing much working out period, but still… I struggled on the run, had the biggest side stitch of my life when I got done, heaved my way to the water fountain (pretty certain I was about to hurl all my junk food out) and then made my way through the rest of the workout… It hurt.

So here’s what I’m thinking… get through the workouts this week (with a lot of pain) and only drink juice for the next 2 days to cleanse my poor junk-ridden body so that I can be prepared for the drinking and eating I’ll be doing this weekend at a rehearsal dinner and wedding.  I’m sure I don’t have to mention the fact that I’ll indulge in cake, but yeah.. gotta get ready for that too!

The upside is that I’ll hopefully perform some sweet moves like this to help burn some of those calories off!
