It’s all up to me

I am so sick of snow and it’s only December.  I actually like snow but we have had so much of it and it keeps ruining my plans. Today the boys were supposed to go to the sitter so that my hubby and I could get some things done around the house and I also could get back on track with eating, workouts, etc.  Our older son did make it to grandma’s today so he isn’t here but by the time I would have taken the baby to the sitter’s the snow started and we’re supposed to get about 6 inches.  It was already slick and they aren’t running many snowplows because they are already overbudget with overtime from all of these other storms. 

I’m still hoping to get in a workout today but it’s not going to be guaranteed.  I just spent 90 minutes working on a class that I absolutely need to finish.  I know I could have used that time to workout but I am so far behind in this class and if I don’t get it done I don’t know what I’m going to do.  I did set a limit though and I have reached it so now I’m going to take a break.  I need to check to see if the baby is still napping and if he is then I can workout…Crap, I just heard him cough so he’s up.  Hopefully later he’ll be happy so I can leave him with the hubby and fit in a workout.  Regardless I’m not going to use this as an excuse to eat off plan.  That’s what happened yesterday and after I blogged last night I decided to go for broke and eat a brownie fudge nut sundae.  I fell into that all-or-nothing thinking that I’m so famous for.  But at least I enjoyed every, single, gooey bite.  Now I just need to hop back on the horse and keep moving toward the new, healthy me.  I’m also trying to keep in perspective that if I wasn’t starting my diet now I would have honestly gained between 5-10 pounds over the holidays, so even if I only lose 10 pounds in 4 weeks it’s really more like 20.  Ok, got to go and be a mom.
