I fell off the horse, but got back on...

I thought the weekend was going to start out ok, until it wasn't.

Was crazed all Friday and knew by 3pm that day that I wasn't going to get to my workout that day.  Fine, but then I went to dinner that night at a friend's house.  She was concerned about PCP and wanted to make sure I had food to eat that fit the program.  That was great, but then I couldn't help myself and had to eat some of the apple/pear crisp I made and brought for dessert.  Ugh.  Got home, ended up staying up until 3am to work on a cake that I needed to have ready for Saturday morning.

Got 4 hours of sleep, and finished the cake.  Meals were off since I was sleeping weird (delivered the cake, slept from 12:30 to 3pm) and then had to work on another cake for that night (a bday party for a friend). Got home that night around 10:30 and then did my work out, but I was so annoyed with myself that I did a really crappy job at it.

Sunday was filled with nothing at all, but still I never got a chance to do my workout.  Planned on doing it after the boys went to bed, but 30 mins after all was quiet, kid #2 started crying!  I laid down in bed with him and that was it - I slept last night from 9:30pm until 7:30am this morning.

I missed my regular early AM jumping session (I actually had neighbors ask where I was!) but the good news is I jumped while #2 was taking a nap and finished my whole workout before #1 came home from school.  So nice to finish it before the nighttime!

Anyway - I realized two things.  Making cakes and PCP don't really mix.  It's less the temptation of eating things I make, and more that my weekends get completely sucked up by cake making and in the previous 3 weeks it's thrown my eating/sleeping/workout schedule all out of whack.  The good news?  No more cakes (except for my son's bday cake next week) until Dec. 18 - AFTER PCP is over.

Other thing - I've gotten better picking up and moving on.  Tomorrow is a new day and just because I fuck up today doesn't mean it's the end of me.

Thinking about all my teammates today - hope all are hanging in there.

Just need to fucking do it for 21 more days!
