Weekend FAIL...

Yikes - not a great start to the Great London Preparation Workout Plan. Didn't get a workout in this weekend, or this morning. Eating was pretty much OK through the weekend, with the exception of the trip to Hy-Vee for groceries last night. I was kinda hungry when we got there, and it just got worse as we went through the store. By the time we had a cart full of groceries, I was grabbing anything and everything that appealed to my baser nature. :) King-size Snickers? Check. Ben & Jerry's Brownie Batter? Check. And look - Ben & Jerry's is on sale too. You lose money when you don't buy in bulk, after all! Duh. :\

I could try to blame hormones, an overscheduled weekend, this weird sore throat thing that's been going on since Thursday - whatever. Fact is, the weekend wasn't what I wanted it to be from a diet/nutrition standpoint, but from other standpoints it was a great three days. So, I need to accept the mix of the two, learn from them, and move on. C'mon, tomorrow!

Day Two results...

Day Two (4/30) was pretty much a wash, thanks to my lack of a morning workout and my final Food Friday in the office. A lunch meeting with Palmer's Deli catered in (mmmm... brownies...) did not help, nor did the two glasses of Sangiovese Novello, the farfelle with Alfredo sauce, and the white chocolate bread pudding (snarf!) at Biaggi's. But dinner was worth it - the random junk I ate during the day wasn't worth it. Seriously, who needs a double-chocolate muffin from Costco? That isn't even that great? Thankfully, I only ate about a third of the muffin (which actually equals about two regular-sized muffins you'd make at home) and tossed the rest out. I always feel bad about throwing food away, but rather in my trash can than in my arteries, I guess. :)

So, I'm calling Friday my "free day" and staying on the wagon for the weekend. I'm hoping to take just one free day a week to maximize weight loss, and keep that day on either a Friday or Saturday, but life sometimes happens. And wine sometimes happens, too. :)

Looking to do some resistance training later this afternoon, then another cardio workout tomorrow. The P90X workout DVDs I ordered on eBay arrived the other day, and are sitting in the corner of my bedroom - mocking me. I am afraid of those workouts. Anybody out there done them and lived to tell?
