Friday Frustrations and Feeling like a Failure

Today’s letter of the day must be F! 

Friday should be my weigh in day…unless I don’t like the number, and then weigh in day is the next Monday.  I tend to be compulsive about the scale anyway; I step on it every morning and every night and sometimes more than that.  This morning I was sooo excited.  I exercised every day this week, I had NO fast food, no oreos, I ate vegetables and drank water…  To my utter dismay, the scale indicated that I gained yet ANOTHER POUND. 

Now, I don’t want this blog to just be a rant and rave about how my body is working against me and how I’m so bitter, blah blah blah.  But I couldn’t let this pass.  I was all ready to tell you about my first cellulite purchase yesterday (anti-cellulite shorts!) and wish everyone a TGIF and say YAY for the snow!  But I’m disappointed.  And disheartened.  And feeling like having a pity party.  And in the midst of these thoughts, Maria and the elephant started singing, “Get off your seat! And kick your feet!” on E’s Sesame Street this morning.

Okay, so enough of the pity party.  Yes, I did make some positive changes this week.  BUT I can do better.  I didn’t get a full 60 minutes of recordable activity each day this week.  I did have sugar every day this week.  I drank a lot of coffee and a little bit of hot chocolate (a lot of hot chocolate).  I don’t eat within the first hour of getting up for the day.  I haven’t slept a full eight hours in three months (a lot of that is up to little G!  J  ). 

So today, going into the weekend, let’s get off our seats and kick our feet!  My kicking will be done in the bathroom stall (!) but I’ll certainly enjoy doing it!  Enjoy the snow today, and TGIF!
