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.
Weekends are hard! I was s’posed to go to a kid party Saturday but I skipped it in lieu of going to the gym. Who the heck has a b-day party at 9:30 a.m. on a Sat. anyway? Geez.
Back on our game tomorrow though, right?
Hope your kid feels better. We’re sick here, too. Ugh.
Hope you feel better. There seems to be a lot of flu stuff going around the blog roll. Being sick makes you crave crap. Get better and you will do better.
Hmm, I thought I was the only one who craved chocolate when I was sick! It could be that I’m feeling sorry for myself, but I like to think that my body is craving it therefore I MUST NEED IT for healing.
Right?
Since you confessed your cheats and you ARE sick, I can’t be too hard on you here. I myself had a fried chicken sandwich (Checkers?) for lunch today and leftover pizza yesterday. And BOGO? You practically have to buy it, it’s BOGO for Christ’s sake. BOGO! I love Bogo and I love saying it even more. Jamie gets so mad at me because I walk around saying bogo bogo bogo like I have a case of shopping Tourettes. On a positive note, I will be joining you in our 3x following Jillian Michaels the exercise bitch pact. I wish you luck and a speedy recovery.
The cake mix will do it every time! Don’t worry Jillian will kick your ass back on track–she does it on The Biggest Loser all the time (love that show!) but she IS kinda mean, eh? Have a great week!

Isn’t there some rule about no dieting when you have a cold or flu or like, an itch? lol.
And sometimes when you have a cold, nothing tastes right, so you HAVE TO try out different stuff. Right?
Funny post!
I find it’s tough to stick to a schedule on the weekends, so I try to do my treadmill during the weekday mornings. Still, when you don’t feel good working out is usually the last thing on you mind!
Let us know how your progress is…hang in there! AND DON’T EAT the chocolate cake. LOL
Jillian is tough and I wouldn’t want to face off with her. I read her book for losing weight in 30 days. I read it and that was as far as I got with that. LOL…
Good luck!!!
Hang in there! I hope you feel better soon!
Jillian would have my knees screaming in about two minutes. OUCH!
Good luck! I’ve been thinking about exercising and eating healthier, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. Too bad it didn’t work that way..way easier! Hope you feel better!
I believe I read somewhere that you get a three day pass when you are sick and one day for each sick child you have to take care of.
I can’t resist BOGO cake or brownie mix offers, either. I don’t think you could hardly be blamed for that.
I need Jillian to kick my ass into shape! I just found out that my sister set her wedding date. I have until this July to drop some poundage! But those BOGOs on cakes & brownies get me EVERY time!
Boo on being sick. Tis the Season is right!
Good luck!!! I tried to do Jillian a couple of times and felt sore in places I didn’t know existed! I would love to be able to do her workout a few times a week!!!

At least you are doing “something”. I did nothing last week. But, this video reminds me of when I use to excersise to Jane Fonda step aerobics when I was in my twenties. Hmmm…if only I still had a vcr!
Um, Jillian Michaels is the DEVIL! Go to my blog and find my post about her, and you will see how I feel.
Good luck though. If you can stick with it, she will kick your ass into shape!
I like that you update your blog quite a bit it keeps me coming back all the time.
I think your domain name is interesting! Was it expensive?
