From Feb: Slip ups, recoveries and new opportunities

I got a bit out of my routine which ultimately makes me feel like crap. After my work out debacle on Wednesday.  I attempted to work out with a friend of mine (of which I'm finally not feeling bruised and beaten for the first time today).  I got a little down on myself. The reality of how out of shape I've become was painfully apparent. Next time, I'm taking it much easier and not trying to keep up with seasoned gym rats.

I definitely blew my diet and ate food that has no nutritional value. We went to a bbq on Saturday where I chowed down on buffalo and spin dip, cheese balls, veggies with ranch, macaroni salad and wayyyyy too much pear-flavored vodka.  Yesterday I ate healthy but probably in too much bulk. D made spaghetti for brunch, I had veggies and hummus, celery with peanut butter, tomato-basil soup, a fruit bar and a root beer float. Definitely felt guilty over the root beer float. I need to make a meal plan and go grocery shopping tomorrow so that I'm not tempted to munch on junk. I'm going to try and go to the gym tomorrow.  I think I need to go when I get off work so I can try and avoid people.

I found myself engaging in a bit of negative thinking, gossiping and even a bit of trash talking. You get caught up in it so quickly. But being aware of it helps to curb it. I also blame my hormones.
Today, I was officially offered the job. I am very excited about this new opportunity but I am very disappointed in the pay they offered. My responsibilities will be increasing ten fold from what I do now. I'm in between a rock and a hard place. I'm just going to keep calm and I know that it will all work out.
