Well, I didn't make it to the gym last night, but I did spend some time taking stock of what is and isn't working for me, and I've concluded that I need to schedule my exercise just like I plan my menu (and my menu planning skillz could use a tune up, to boot). Not sticking to food and exercise plans seem to be the two biggest sources of frustration for me at the moment, and planning those two things out better seems like the logical solution. So I'm going to spend some time today planning out next week's workouts and menu and see if hitting the ground running helps out.
I also set down a list of flags (green, yellow, red...the idea is blatantly stolen from a sparkblog I stumbled across a week or so ago) and, at least for the short term, I'm going to go through the list and take stock on a weekly basis and see where I fall. When I went through last night, I was mostly yellow flags, so I know I'm starting to veer off course (not that I really need a list of flags to tell me this...but I'm a sucker for checklists!!) Hence the reassessment and new plans.
I also noticed yesterday that I've been tending to eat only about 800 calories between when I get up (6 am) and when I get dinner (8pm) and then I tend to have 1000+ calories w/ dinner/after dinner snacking. I think I need to get back to spreading my calories more evenly through the day (i.e. more healthy snacks, bigger lunch, smaller dinner, minimal snacks after dinner). So that's the forefront of my thoughts when making next week's menu.
Just some random thoughts. But I'm feeling more on track already just having sat down and figured out where I'm getting off track, so I think (hope?!) next week will be better!

--warning--negative vibes beyond...sigh.
all my get up and go got up and left. I planned to hit the gym after work today for a good 40-60 min workout (in my book, that borders on marathon!)...I even brought the ipod along to help with the boredom factor, but now that I've finished with my workday from hell, all I want to do is go home and curl up with the cat (who never makes me spend hours re-doing things that were done perfectly right the first time)...*sniff*
Oh, and I'm starving. not sure why, but I could eat a horse at the moment. Which is making me whiny (i.e. this blog post)...and being whiny is making me crabby. Vicious cycle.
Maybe step 1 is to find a healthy snack, and step 2 is to hit the gym, shoot for 20 minutes of anything, and see where I go from there. Sounds reasonable. And if I still feel poopy after 20 minutes at the gym, I'm free to go do something else.
