Day 8 -
Weight: 123 lbs
I knew a day would come when I would get home late and have to decide between going to sleep and working out. It happened last night. I was at a local blogger event and didn’t get home until 10:20 p.m. I looked at the clock. Looked at my bed. I was tired. But I knew that if I didn’t do the workout I would feel really bad. So I put my hair up and did the 30-day shred at 10:30 at night! I finished at 11:00 and went straight to bed.
A lot of people like working out in the morning but I’m just not sure that will ever work for me. I’ve always worked out at night after the kids go to bed.
I have realized that eating healthy on the weekends is the most difficult. There are always things going on. Events are tough too. Last night there were cupcakes and cookies and wine everywhere and I had no self control. I stuffed my face and of course felt badly afterward. I don’t understand why I can’t just have one of something and stop there. It’s okay to treat yourself but binge-eating is not okay. Still need to get control of myself. I know it’s possible. Food is a head game. I look at something and tell myself that I shouldn’t have it but I grab it anyway. Sigh.
I’m a work in progress. Aren’t we all?

Girl I am impressed!! I’d like to think in your shoes I would have done the same thing, but I’m pretty sure I would have flipped Jillian the bird and gone to bed! Good for you!
As for the stuggle of splurging vs binging. It’s a constant battle for me. Constant. Sometimes it’s better for me not to splurge at all because I know it will just open the gateway!
PS I couldn’t reply to your comment because I got the dreaded “no-reply” email.
The recipe didn’t specify if the meat had to be thawed, but I’ve done other recipes before with frozen meat and it’s been just fine! I say if that’s what you have, go for it. It’s cooking all day anyways!

You must be an abstainer. According to Gretchen Rubin:
You’re a moderator if you…
– find that occasional indulgence heightens your pleasure–and strengthens your resolve
– get panicky at the thought of “never” getting or doing something
You’re an abstainer if you…
– have trouble stopping something once you’ve started
– aren’t tempted by things that you’ve decided are off-limits
I am an abstainer – I can never eat just one, so to lose weight I can’t have any.
I can’t believe you worked out at 10:30 p.m. You are dedicated.
