and......we're back.

PHEW. i was scared for a while there. jeez - it has been a whole week since my last post! and it's not because i've been working out so hard lemme tell ya that......

I dunno what it was, but i was SO LAZY. slacker. and then, i wonder 'why the heck do we ever slack off doing a workout program?' because it SUCKS sooo bad when you stop slacking. my advice: if you're feeling lazy, just do your work out. JUST DO IT. or you will be sorry later. boy was i today. 

I won't go into detail, but in total, i am now like 3 workouts behind. BUT, i am still going to finish on my original 'finish date'. i am so determined to. what does that mean? double workouts some days. which, i mean, isn't too bad this week since i'm not totally swamped with life. and it helps that a couple days are relief and rest. 

ALSO, i am not perfect. NOT even close!! we all have our dieting flaws...this past week....whew. two words: cake. balls. 

It all started with girls night last week. we decided to try to make cake balls (and they were a huge success, obviously). i will post this in my recipe post as well, even tho it's not a healthy one. anyway, so after that night, i became a little obsessed with these YUMMY things. i went to walmart and bought FOUR cake mixes, the chocolate, and what i needed to make the frosting. in the next two days, i made 2 batches. (i excuse myself one day since it was for my sister's birthday...haha). 

SO. long story short, i ate way more than i should have. and i'm not saying like 'oh i ate two! oh no!' like, i ate several. every day. for about the past 5 days. mhmm. and boy, they are seriously so good. BUT TODAY - i ate...4. then i said 'NO MORE!' i did my workout. then, the craving was gone. like, i opened the fridge, saw the pan, and had absolutely no desire eat any. 

Moral of the story: don't skip so many dang workouts!! i have 14 workouts left of The Asylum, and i will KICK my butt. those dang cake balls totally set back any results that i was seeing....i was frustrated with myself! but hey, what is being mad going to do? it sure as heck ISN'T going to take back the calories and cake balls that's for sure. 

So, i'm back everyone :) and so happy to be. i am ready to bring it for the last half of this craziness. 

If you've been having a hard time lately, I FEEL YA! the only thing you can do is start anew today, or tomorrow...if it's already nighttime. change your mindset. focus. and see your goals becoming accomplished. like the old beachbody 'Sweat' and 'Sculpt' videos used to say, "you're closer than you think". see yourself crossing the finish line. WHO's with me?? :)
