The Devil Made Me Do It

I know it seems like a running theme here, but I didn't sleep so well last night. Holden and I had a campout in my room as DQ and Scout were at a Cub Scout Campout Holden moves a lot in his sleep and snores as loud as his father. And again I was up at 5:30ish. I snoozed on and off again for another two hours.

I ended up going to church without going to breakfast. I know, I know...it is the most important meal of the day. But I had to do a bunch of stuff before we left. So when I came home I made myself a huge lunch. Two eggs, two egg whites and a slice of plain toast. I meant to buy some "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" yesterday but I forgot. It was a HUGE meal though and held me for most of the day.

I decided to make brownies today. I must tell you that I love brownies. Love them. I made them for DQ and his friend who were doing a bunch of manly men work to our windows to prepare them (the windows) for our AC units. The brownies came out of the over looking devine. I was going to step away. Even as I was cutting them I was determined to ignore them. Then...well...I thought "I will have half a piece." That half turned into many whole pieces and before I knew it I had put away four or five. Seriously. I couldn't stop. They were so good. The Hershey kind with chunks of chocolate inside. Hmmm Hmmm good!! I felt terrible afterward. Absolutely terrible.

5:00 PM comes around and I head to the fitness room on campus. I was supposed to be meeting a friend there. She was super late but another one of my co-workers was there. Just so happened to be one of the most attractive men on campus. I was so intimidated. This man has so much discipline when it comes to taking care of himself. He works out every single day. Every day. Amazing. I hope to have that dedication one day. Anyway - it was nice having him there as we chatted and it made the running portion of my treadmill experience go a little faster.

Towards the end of my run/walk I started to lose steam. I am definitley someone who has to work out first thing in the AM. I was on my second to the last running interval and I lost it. Stopped running to walk. As the "time remaining" was winding down and I was was psyching myself up for the last two minutes of running I remembered the brownies. So when the treadmill cranked up again for the final running interval I chanted to myself "BROWNIES! HOLDEN!! LILLY!! FITNESS!!!" over and over again. Brownies to remind myself of the slip I had today. Holden to remind myself that if he can do it I can do it. Lilly to remind myself of the Lilly Pulitzer pants on the way and Fitness to remind myself I want to be fit!

Dinner was whole wheat pasta and some sauce with frozen veggies. Bleh...but I didn't cook it.

Tomorrow - Memorial Day. The gym is open normal hours. So if I wake up early I am going to hit the gym. Well, no matter when I wake up I headed there. At least I know that if I wake up at 5:30 AM I will have somewhere to go! Speaking of the gym I Googled Gaylord, MI, the town I will be in for a month this summer. There are two gyms there. I have a call in to both of them to see what they can do for me while I am there!
