So I am less than a week into this challenge and I have already struggled. I have been carefully watching what I eat and making healthy choices, except today. We had a monthly meeting at my office today and although we don't typically had food, today someone brought donuts. Typically I don't like donuts or at least could easily pass them up. These weren't just regular donuts they were Rise-n-Roll, which if you live in Northern Indiana you have probably heard of them. I had 1 1/2 donuts and although I enjoyed every bite I also felt a bit guilty. Now, I don't believe in dieting to the point where I don't get to enjoy the foods I like. I always have a day where I cheat a bit (or like I call it a free day) but that it typically Saturdays. I guess this week it may just be today. I guess I'm putting this out there because I'm just a little frustrated with myself.
Then to top it off I didn't go to the gym this morning. I had every intention and even had a friend texting me to hold me accountable. Well, yesterday I somehow pulled a muscle in my back (I have no idea how) and it hurts and I didn't sleep well. So I chose to sleep instead of working out. I'm hoping that I will be able to get to the gym this evening. I think that will make me feel a little better overall. I know that my schedule won't allow me to get to the gym tomorrow, so I may not get a dedicated workout in, although I'm sure that I will get over 10k in steps, which is something.
For as well as this week started out, it doesn't feel as though it is ending all that well.
