Bad Kristen

Okay, I admit it... I'm in a slump. I don't want to make a pile of a thousand excuses, but believe me, (in my head) I have my reasons.

So. Today, I'm thinking:

- That program through NTC starts next week... how cool will it be to get a pen and a magnet! Surely that's a good enough reason to get going again!

- My body is aching because I've been sitting and working for so many days straight. It's easy to let that be an excuse not to go to the Y (how can I work out? my neck and back are so sore!) when truthfully, a little activity would probably do wonders for me.

- Even though I've never been so freakishly busy in my life, that's no reason to neglect getting out and doing something that might not sound too appealing initially but will absolutely positively make me feel better after I've done it.

- I will take some time out of my crazy hectic work-filled schedule to get to the Y one day yet this week. Doesn't sound like a big goal, but it's the most hugest goal ever right now.

- I really don't like feeling like people around me have lost their faith in me. I'm hoping I still have some in myself. I THINK I do.

Stay tuned.

The Ugly Truth

Okay, here's the truth... and it's ugly.

I went away last week on Thursday, to a cabin on an island that was FILLED to the brim with tons and tons of food. And then someone brought DQ cake. And someone else brought the most amazing brownies I've ever had.

Yes, that's right. HAD. Had many, in fact.

So here's the ugly truth of what happens when I eat as much as I possibly can for four days straight and completely and totally fail at the goals I mentioned in my last post:



What can I say? I didn't get fat because I have exceptional self-control, DUH.

But it ain't over. I'm still here, and I'm still determined to do this right. I had a setback... a bump in the road... an extended weekend of feeling like my normal self again and all the ugliness that can entail.

Won't be the last time, I can pretty much promise you that. But what's most important, is I plan to make it 'the exception,' and not 'the rule.'

You'll see.

(And thank you, thank you again to those of you who are checking in on me and thinking good thoughts for me!!)
