The wheels on the bus go round and round.

    The last two weeks have been full of life craziness. I started to feel like the wheels were coming off and that I was destined to fail this journey. But, then I heard someone say, "If you get your head on straight, your hips will follow." This really hit home with me. I took a step back and looked at how I had been approaching things. It's great that I have a goal and that I've taken many positive steps to achieve it. But, it's not enough. I keep over-analyzing, stressing, and feeling guilty about every little stumble. In other words, just another day of me being me. *insert mental outlook adjustment here*
     I now realize I need to maintain the proper frame of mind in order to be successful. The other thing I noticed was that I kinda suck at self-managing. Thankfully, I have the Bestie to help keep me on track. But, again, it's not enough. So, I decided I needed a more structured program for both my exercising and eating habits . It has helped immensely. This week, I finally feel like the wheels are back on the bus and spinning in the right direction. Of course, the evidence proving this lies in the number on the scale at my weekly weigh-in on Saturday......

Epic fail.

Not even going to try making excuses for it. This week was a total bust.

In the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Cupcake, bless me bloggettes for I have sinned.....

>Only worked out twice this week (3 times if you count trekking up to the top of Williams-Brice Stadium in stiffling heat).

> Blew my diet tailgating at above mentioned stadium.

> Blew my diet again after a craptastic day at work where nothing seems to be going right.

>Went into cupcakery, purchased cupcakes for friends, did not get one for myself. You may say that this should be in the win column, but no. Due to time conflicts, never got to see said friends and box o'cupcakes got left in extremely hot car leading to cupcake carnage. Total sin.

>Completely sucked Bestie into all of this, thus using our Wonder Twin powers for evil and not good.

I'm thrilled that this week is over. I'm now working on channeling the guilt I'm feeling into motivation for the upcoming week. Tomorrow is a new day. I'm going to take the advice of Dory and "just keep swimming". This journey *will* get back on track.
