…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….
What happens when you are a light sleeper, your fiance tosses and turns like fidgeting is an Olympic sport, and the kids are home for Spring Break and don’t want to waste time sleeping? Well, you end up deliriously sleep-deprived, and I am beyond exhausted today.
I weighed in Saturday morning for a 4 pound loss! Yay! It felt great to finally see results on the scale. I don’t want to screw it up this week.
This week will be challenging not only because of the aforementioned sleep deprivation, but also because I have some work events this week, including a board dinner tomorrow evening. My boss believes it is conducive to have us staff members sit in a huge dining room at a fancy restaurant, hear our board members talk about their Alaskan cruises and other trips that we underpaid staff members could only dream about, be served frou-frou food with weird sauces that I don’t like, be expected to order dessert, and not be allowed to leave until about 9 PM, after hours of sitting, bored to tears, at this dinner table and wishing we were anywhere but there. Yeah, really looking forward to it.
I worked really hard to lose those 4 pounds last week. I don’t want to ruin it by just gaining it all back this week. There are at least 2 evenings I won’t be home until well past 9, and I really don’t think I’ll be pumped for a workout after working all day. Working out in the morning is a logical solution, but refer back to the sleep deprivation in paragraph one and three. I don’t predict much success with getting up even earlier to fit in a workout.
I am going to pack a gym bag this evening and take it to work tomorrow. I have about an hour and a half from the time I leave work until the board dinner starts, so I should have time to get to the gym, fit in a quick workout, and get cleaned up for the dinner. The next day, I just need to bite the bullet and work out in the morning, or find the energy to work out when I get home after a long day.
I hate when my routine is interrupted, especially for things I don’t want to do in the first place. In the past, I’ve let it throw me off course, and I end up slacking off and gaining weight. I really don’t want to do that this week. I need to find a way to stay on track this week, no matter what.
