My progress this week: +1

Total progress: -7

There were a couple reasons why this wasn’t the best week for me:

1. Something that can be summed up with three letters, and they don’t stand for Pardon My Sweatpants.

2. The classic excuse we all use, I didn’t have time.

I call it an excuse because that’s exactly what it is. Yes, I was busy, but was I really too busy to find 30 minutes in my day SOMEWHERE to get some exercise? No. My regular schedule got turned upside down, and I used it as an excuse. “Oh, I can’t go today…I have to be at this meeting.” Well, I couldn’t go in the morning as usual, but if I had made it a priority, I would have just gone at another time instead. So I only worked out twice this week; my goal is 4-5 times a week.

And also, we all know that keeping good food around the house keeps us from turning to convenience food. Well, I told my myself that I didn’t have time to grocery shop this week. Turns out, that’s not really a valid excuse for me anymore. I just found out that a local grocery store will let me shop for my groceries online and deliver them for a $10.00 fee. (For my Houston peeps, I’m talking about Rice Epicurean Market. They deliver to more zip codes than you think. Details here.)

So, NO MORE EXCUSES! I just have to MAKE the time instead of trying to FIND the time. Because we all know how that works. “Oh, I’ll write that novel when I find the time.” If I had done that, I would still be going around telling people, “Yeah, I want to write someday,” instead of actually doing it.

Oh, and also…this:

The "Boise" from The Burger Guys in Houston

Yeah…that’s a sausage hot dog, wrapped in potato strings, deep fried, on a bun, with onion-bacon jam. I only had three bites, and hubby devoured the rest, but still. That couldn’t have helped things much. It was really pretty, though.
