Back On The Wagon
March 11th, 2008 by Kateastrophe
Anyone who hates coming back to real life after a four day weekend raise your hands.
That’s all of you then, yes? Yeah, go ahead and count me in.
I have ZERO desire to be at work this week. I’m still exhausted from my weekend. It was not exactly relaxing and entailed a LOT of driving. I actually really like road trips by myself because I can listen to whatever I want and sing at the top of my lungs. I just hate sitting on my butt for that long, then coming back to work and sitting on my butt again. How can sitting on one’s butt make one so dang tired?
Getting back on the diet/exercise wagon sort of sucked too. Have I mentioned I’m on a serious diet/exercise plan? I can’t remember if I did, but I am. It sucks but I am DETERMINED TO LOSE THIS EXTRA BAGGAGE. (And Grandpa had nothing to do with it. For the record.) I did some cardio over the weekend but the diet didn’t do so well. I may or may not have had a lot of pizza. And macaroni and cheese. And these delicious s’more dessert things. And some cookies. Ahem. Needless to say, going back to chicken breast, brown rice and vegetables wasn’t exactly easy. BUT I DID IT! And I went to the gym last night. And ow, my legs hurt. I gained a pound over the weekend which is actually surprising, but in a good way. I really thought it would be more. I’m trying not to worry about weight exactly . . . more like looseness of my favorite, now too small jeans. But I have to look at my weight too, just to be sure. Trust me, it cannot come off fast enough. Yet I still hate it. HATE IT. But I’m doing it dangit.
On top of those things that I don’t want to do, there is also this play I’m in . . . it’s the musical Hello Dolly! and my church is doing it and I volunteered to be in it. And now I loathe it. I hate my character, I hate the play, I hate the music, I hate the time I’m wasting at rehearsals . . . and it’s all my fault for volunteering. And now, tonight, I have another rehearsal. And two more this week. And three more every week until the END OF MAY. And I have a dress rehearsal on my anniversary. And over Memorial Day Weekend so we can’t GO anywhere. Thhhbbbppp.
Anyone “know a guy” who can maybe run into me with his car and break a leg or two so I don’t have to work, exercise OR be in the play? That sound nice. Oh so nice.

Man I feel ya on the working out thing. I work out but it’s so hard for me to eat healthy, especially with Girl Scout cookies lurking around, haha.

Why Hello, Dolly,
Someone recently suggested to me, as part of my dieting efforts, that when I look at a food that is either temporarily off limits (for I allow myself some goodies in carefully limited amounts on the weekends) or will take me past my daily calories limit, that I think “where on my body would I like to wear this [cookie or pizza, or whatever].” That, and reminding myself that I really will feel very satisfied with the SALAD at Chipotle (just a teeny bit of dressing, sour cream and cheese, which is enough when you mix it all up) and I don’t need the big old premie sized burrito, usually do the trick for me. I staring at my results spreadsheet to remind myself that a little discipline actually does go a long way…explicitly presupposing of course…”a little discipline.”
Keep at it. Skinny Kate must pimp slap “Let Herself Go Kate.” Hehe. Your grandpa pwns.

I just went on the treadmill, and then had a giant spoonful of frosting. Oh well.

We should hang out. With our combined accident proneness, you’ll be injured in no time! Who needs “a guy?”

I really, really don’t want to be at work this week. I totally need a vacation to recover from my vacation!
And that diet thing? Needs to start up over here, I’ve been binging on “American food” since returning - i.e. pizza and cookies - def needs to stop!
