Week 35 Thanksgiving (did not handle well)

Having Thanksgiving in the middle of a workout week is difficult. What more difficult is time off from work, getting away from the routine of my week.

Tues: Nov 23 Lower body. New rugs so far in half the gym...looks great. Smelly but that will go away. hard lower body. very sore after workout.

Wed. Nov 24. Cardio. Did it...it was tough but I survived....now if this wasn't last day of work for a long weekend wouldn't be so bad...but we went out with friends Wed night. Ate and drank (NOT a normal Wed night at all) Thursday. Cooked all morning, making the most delicious sweet potato casserole (totally fattening) and string beans and cookies. Went to friends house for 2pm. Ate such delicious food......soooo hard to resist from at least trying a little of everything. Now i would never eat that much in the middle of the week. I became very full....at least felt very full, a feel I haven't had since I started at Horizons. It may have been a tummy ache....but it lasted over 3.5 hours......I hated the feeling. I think it was the combination of so many different foods in one sitting even if was one bite and I got a belly ache. It was a real bummer, but everything was great. The belly ache eventually went away.

Thursday Nov 26th: THANKSGIVING Off from gym

Fri Nov 27 upper body...First thing Jon says is "Get on the scale...you are getting weighed in" I said What are you talking about, I should get weighed in on Saturday a cardio day adn end of my workout week for this week...he said "NO" I was upset.....even more upset to get on the scale the day after Thanksgiving to gain over 3 pounds.....it was upsetting...then to get a lecture from him on top of it. I was ready to cry.

Sat Nov 28 cardio. going on a saturday at 10:30...so not my normal routine....I was ready but when I felt Jon really pushing me into my first set of running, I was dying.....I think by 9 minutes I was holding onto the railing.....very disappointing to me and him. I felt like a failure letting him down and myself...but truly...it wasn't a good day to kick it up a notch with me. I would have had success if I stayed the same from last cardio...still would have been tough, but probably wouldn't have held the railing...Oh well. bad day. Next week have to get recommitted if I plan on ever reaching my goal of 100 pounds by March 29, 2011 (My 1 year anniversary of my commitment to getting my life back)
