Well, it's been a few days since I've written - and honestly, it's because I have been gone/busy all weekend. On Friday, I actually did get up to go to a 7:30 bootcamp, and then I got home and went for my 1.5 mile run. I ran it 3 minutes faster than I did on Monday. I was ecstatic, however my Nike+ app didn't want to sync. It hasn't been syncing for awhile, which is aggravating.
Anyhow, the wedding was absolutely beautiful. I thought I did fairly well in terms of eating/drinking at the wedding (it helps when I drive everywhere). I only had two glasses of wine - and anyone that has been to an open bar wedding knows just how incredibly hard this can be. It was buffet options for food. So, I decided to stick with a large cesar salad, very little of the grilled veggies because they looked as tho they were soaked in butter, and two pieces of tri-tip. I have a pretty big dairy issue, so it was easy to say no to the chicken smothered in a cream sauce. I had a great night dancing the night away, even got those 10,000 steps in!
As for Saturday, this was a bit rougher. We went wine-tasting in Napa, which is always a wonderful time. We did a cave tour at Del Dotto Winery, and once again, I offered to be the driver so I wouldn't be tempted to drink. I just feel they are unnecessary calories at this point. I took my apple, almonds, and turkey jerky with me, just in case I needed some snacks (which I did). I felt that it was proper planning, and not something I would have done a month ago. Hell, skipping the drinks isn't something I would have done a month ago. We had a great dinner, I order a BLT on wheat bread with an egg, and a side of Brussel sprouts. Did I mention how much I love brussel sprouts?? Haha! I had a pastry from my favorite bakery there, Model Bakery, highly recommend it!
Sunday was a bit better, had a good breakfast in the morning, had a salad from Plutos while we were out and about, and then the rest of my BLT for dinner.
On Monday, I got up, went to bootcamp at 5:30 AM at F.A.T. and then went to work. I'm trying to work out my schedule to make sure it will all work out. I wanted to run last night, but just couldn't get motivated. I need to have a recording of Sue of John yelling at me to get off the couch and get moving. Maybe that would help.
This morning, I said I was going to try and do my cardio in the morning, since I have a soccer game tonight. This was to see which one I would actually feel better doing in the morning. Yah, I'm sticking to bootcamp, I didn't get out of bed to run. FAIL. So, I'm going to go to boot camp this afternoon - and then soccer tonight. I honestly feel so guilty for my laziness the past couple of days. I know my food hasn't been far off - just the exercise. I have to find the motivation somewhere.
When I don't exercise, I automatically just look at myself differently. I see a different person when i look in the mirror. I see all the bumps, curves, and issues I don't want to see. However, when I exercise I see my strength, I see definition (even if it might not be there), and I see hope. I don't like the feeling of failure or what I perceive myself to be. It's definitely something I need to focus on. Later tonight I will be doing a blog just regarding my goals I would like to accomplish. Hopefuly, that will be a motivating factor.
