HASAY - Tis The Season…
For viral infections. Woo hoo. Nothing puts a damper on a good work out program more than a cold and/or flu.
Right now, I don’t actually know what I’m suffering from exactly. My throat is sore and scratchy, my head feels a little heavy, and I want to lay down…but that laying down part is consistent with my daily malaise. Am I sick, or is it just a touch of apathy? Who the heck knows?
My son, the kindergartner, is running a low grade temperature, my toddler is acting more erratically than usual, which is usually evidence that something is amiss.
What does all this mean in the grand scheme of my fitness goals? Am I making excuses? Am I looking for some get-out-of-HASAY-jail-free card?
Never.
There’s no excuse for the cake I made Friday, except that it was BOGO on Pillsbury Yellow Mix and there was no way I was passing up that bargain. There’s no excuse for the fried chicken sandwich I had today, or the pizza, or the Nutter Butters I scammed yesterday at a kid’s birthday party. (None of the kids were eating them, they were fair game.) I’m guilty, I did it, and it felt good. Lock me up and take away the high fructose corn syrup.
Last time I weighed myself I was up another pound. Like that’s not punishment enough.
This week I’m committing myself to this girl:
The slightly angry Jillian Michaels who promises I can be taut and lean in 30 days no less. If she can reduce the cottage cheesy texture on my outer thighs, I will be a believer, although an every day work out seems kind of a stretch of the imagination considering my sad defeat during another slackerrific week on Club HASAY . I’m aiming for 3 days of work outs, maybe building up to 5, and tee-hee possibly 7 some day. My only gripe is Jillian’s slightly belligerent posturing…and of course the fact that I completely hate exercising, but I’m working on it, I’m working on it.
