Making it in Mayhem

So, here I am, dragging on.  I'm not sticking with my diet and I'm not getting exercise.  Ready for my excuses?  Here goes -- I made the decision to walk away from my diet for the next couple of weeks.  With the holidays and my home a shambles, I just knew there was no way for me to continue on right now.  So, I've given my mind and body the freedom to take this time off.  And you know, I feel good about the decision!  I think it was the right one for now.  But the weird thing is, I find that I miss my healthy food -- after only a couple of days, I'm already sick of eating out!

Guess you might be wondering why my home is a shambles.  We're remodeling.  Not, new fixtures and some paint remodeling, but full out, we have no cabinets and our walls are gone remodeling!  :O  We've done all the demo, framing, insulating, and drywalling.  Now come tomorrow AM, we have pros coming in to tape, mud, sand, and prime.  OH, to have this HUGE project done!  In the meantime, life is going to be a MESS.  But alas, no where to work out, no way to cook, and we're just going to push through this.  If I gain a little, I gain a little -- so is life.

But here's the thing -- I choose to not let this be permanent.  In a week's time, this house will be on it's way to being put back together, and I will be able to get back to work.  Truth be told, I've still not been horrible.  I've still been getting in a shake or two and have been eating fairly low carb.  Today was the first day that I ate REALLY badly.  But even then, I had a half of a protein shake for breakfast, chili and chips for lunch, a Mello Yellow, and then pizza for dinner.  Breakfast was normal (well, small, but normal) and I didn't overeat at lunch.  Really, dinner was the bad thing.  But right now, I'm okay with it.  My house is in mayhem, but I won't let it stop me -- I'm going to make it through this.  In the meantime, I'm not going to beat myself up.  I am going to go day by day and try to make the best of a hard situation.

I guess this is all for now.  The next time I post, I hope to be back in the saddle and on my way to an even healthier me!
