workout (clothes) all day
I promise you I awoke with the best of intentions. And yes, I know it’s Monday. What’s the cardinal rule? Never miss a Monday. Never. So even though I went to bed with a slight headache already fully aware I’d want to sleep past the third alarm, I knew come morning I would throw on my workout clothes and be prepared to sweat at some point during the day. I mean look at the photos… I’ve been doing pretty well. Kind of. But here it is almost 9:30 pm and I am still in these blasted workout clothes… sans sweat.
Fail.
Now why am I confessing my workout (or lack thereof) sins on the worldwide net? Accountability. A girl has goals, and missing today does not get me any closer to that for which I am striving. And, ok… if I’m going to be totally honest, my eating wasn’t on point either. I mean some of it was. I just cooked and polished off this grilled skinless chicken breast and roasted brussel sprouts and it was delicious! But the leftover mini-cupcakes and cookies from Sunday’s cook-off, also delicious, were on the menu as well and for that I pat this belly in shame.
Oh the struggle for the thicky with goals. But I digress…
In a few days, I travel for a friends wedding and cannot guarantee I will be on my A-game. A long-time girlfriend I haven’t seen in years is hosting me for the week and she already informed me plans have been set and the wine has been bought. So rather than beat myself up on what’s looking to be an amazing trip, I have devised a game plan for once I return. Total beast mode. Nutrition. Training. Sweat. Because while I love being a full-figured cutie, health over beauty so I will tame these curves and lift those weights. It’s all set and I am looking forward to it. Truthfully.
But til then, I hang my head in sugar-coated shame and apologize to the www for missing this Monday. I’ll do better tomorrow. Promise.

It’s not always easy or perfect… but I’m impressed with your motivation! I try not to think of any foods as “bad” or “off limits,” but rather just control how often (and in what amount) I eat certain things. I think it helps, mentally!!

Aww! Thank you, Caylie. I like your way of thinking, I think it definitely helps. When I am on my game, I can think like that and keep it moving. Bit when I am on a bad streak lol, it doesn’t always work that well haha but we keep at it til we find the right balance! Thanks for reading and commenting 🙂
A little brussel sprouts here, a little cupcake there — everything in moderation! Even moderation 😉 💛
Haha I agree, moderation being the key word. However, lately… it has not been a part of my vocabulary. But the first step to getting better is admitting the problem 😂 thanks!
80/20 rule ….nuf said.
Indeed!! Now to just make the 80 my good health and nutrition, instead of the 20 :):)
Good job Keep it up!
