Well my day did not turn out exactly as planned. But then when does it ever?? I was planning on running my intervals in the afternoon when the boys got up from their naps. But I ended up with company and we ended up at Sonic for half price drinks and then at the park. I did only get a Diet Cherry Limeade from Sonic though.
The temptation came after that!! I went to Target to get a few things and of course they have the candy sitting right there at the checkout. Good thing there weren't any Peanut butter TWIX...those are so delicious and this fatty can't say no to those things! Once we left Target, I was really, really hungry, as I hadn't had an afternoon snack. Wendy's was calling my name!! The dialog in my head was amazing. Sometimes I wonder if other people self talk the way I do. It went something like this....
"Wendy's would be so easy. I'm hungry, just go get a 99 cent chicken sandwich and nuggets for Dave. Ah but I never order just one, I'd end up with two chicken sandwiches. I don't need two sandwiches. Dinner is in an hour and a half, I just need something to hold me over. If I go straight at this light, then I'm going to Wendy's. If I turn then I'll go home and find something for a little snack. I really don't need to spend the money at Wendy's. All I have to do is turn here and the temptation is gone....just turn here!!"
And I did. I went home. Didn't go to Wendy's. But in the process I realized that whenever I go to a restaurant I cannot order just one thing. It's two cheeseburgers, or two chicken sandwiches. I always up size the meal, even though I hardly ever eat it all! This is definitely a mental hurdle that I will have to overcome if I am no longer going to be a fatty!! There is nothing wrong with only ordering one thing!!
On the fitness side of my journey, I didn't get my intervals in, but I did go to the hip hop class at the gym and loved it....LOVED IT!! About halfway through, the instructor said, ok, now let's hit it and really get our heart rates up....I was like....uhhh....I'm on the verge of a heart attack already!! Not really, but I was already working hard. I do have to say that I amaze myself sometimes. The extent of physical exertion that I am able to impose on my fat self is pretty incredible! But it feels damn good when I'm done. That hour went fast and I was sweating a pretty puddle!! I'm going again tonight! Fatty gonna get her groove on!!
