Battle with the Bagel

I survived the BCS National Championship game!  Alabama won, it was a shut out against LSU.  The people in my house celebrated until 4pm the following day!   It was completely crazy but a good time.

I managed not to eat and drink everything in sight.  I even tried to track some of the foods and get a good estimate.  I did not drink till I blacked out and I was not found in a puddle of cheese dip.  It was one day and I have managed to recover well.  I have maintained my calorie levels, with the exception of that day, and have worked out. 

Today was a little rough because I brought in Bagels for the team.  Yes I was the one that initiated the problem!  It was my turn do bring in breakfast and I did not know it until the end of the work day Wednesday.  I had no motivation to hit up with grocery store after the gym as it was cold and raining.  So, Panera it was.  However, when it comes to bagels and cream cheese I have no control over myself.  I had one at breakfast and then went about my day...around 9:30 I could smell the bagels in the next cube...my stomach was growling and I was practically salivating.  I just had another half WITH cream cheese but was so disappointed that I could not get control over my emotions.  I wanted that bagel and by gorge I was going to have it!  I need to get better control over my will power and my drive to do things.  If I had worked out that morning I feel I would have been able to resist...been able to not undo all of the work I had done but I did not even think about it...I thought "oh ill go to the gym later"  which for the reccord I did not go for a run as today is a scheduled off day and my knee is killing me.  So, hot yoga tonight better be intense because I have lots of carbs to work off.

I was feeling so good last week when I was eating well and working out.  I need to get back into that swing of things and keep it up.  I have been eating less processed foods and almost cleansing myself of processed foods, which feels good.  I have overall been making better decisions through out the week.  Just need to keep it up.  I am interested to see if I lost any weight this week.  Last week I kicked booty and lost 2.5 lbs, this week I feel I will be lucky if I drop 1. 

Road Blocks this Weekend
-We have friends coming in from Canada and will be going to dinner with them on Sunday night
-Saturday is my Mom's birthday so we might go and see her
- Lucas is to be in town so we will probably go out to eat with him while he is here

Also I am scheduled to run 11 miles on Satruday
I have yoga on Sunday
Monday I have a day of fitness planned: 5 mile run at 9, training session with Van at 10:30 and Hot Yoga at 11:45.  It should be an awesome day if I can accomplish all of those things. 

Jared will be with his dad most of Monday so I hope I can get some great fitness in and then have some R&R time. 

Stay Tuned to see what happens!!!
