The Consequences of My Actions

I have put off writing today's post for as long as I can. I've been procrastinating because I'm wracked with guilt. But, I need to absolve myself of my wrong doings.

Here is my apology to you, à la Tiger Woods.

I have let you all down. For two days straight, there was no reason for me to eat in an unhealthy way, and yet, there was no stopping me either.

Sunday, I ate badly and promised myself I'd do better on Monday. I've told myself that before.

Yesterday, I started off well. I had a healthy breakfast, followed by a healthy lunch. I worked out and ate a healthy dinner. Then the evening rolled in and I couldn't keep my grubby mitts out of the snack cupboard.
When my little binge was over, I felt awful. I had not only made myself sick, I had let myself down terribly, and I knew I was going to have to fess up to it today on this blog. (See, the blog is working. It's keeping me accountable.)

I downed a couple of glasses of water and told myself to start fresh again in the morning, which I've done. So far, today I've done well. I've been eating well, I did a good, hard, no slacking workout and I even planned the family meals for the next few days. I'm pretty on top of things.

I don't think I'll do wrong like that again, for a while. The emotional consequences are too grave. I'm glad you guys are here to keep me on the straight and narrow.

Bring on The Sun

I know I have, in previous posts, professed my love of winter BUT these warm, sunny days aren't bad either. The nice weather is making everyone so happy. I think if we were to get another shot of winter, at this point, the people of Ontario would throw their arms up in disgust and the air would turn blue with spring craved obsenities.

What is it about a bright sunny day that's so inspiring? I haven't been this motivated in months. I'm working out harder, I'm eating better and I'm longing for the kind of clean, healthy food I enjoyed, so much, in California.

No doubt about it, there is something healthy about the sun. It nourishes us in ways that make us want to nourish ourselves better.

Now that I've said that, it's going to rain all day tomorrow. C'est la vie.

Never-the-less, all this working out is paying off! I just did my most hated workout and it wasn't that bad at all. It was still challenging, don't get me wrong, but I didn't feel like I was going to die, pass out, or vomit...that's an honest to goodness improvement! The strength-training is getting easier too. I think it may be time to level-up!

How's the nicer weather affecting your motivation?
