Double Time

Happy Thursday, or should we say, Valentine's Day eve! I am preparing myself today for what tomorrow will most likely bring. Donuts. Candy. Chocolate. Date night, delicious dinner and drinks. Calories. We are having Fit Friday at work tomorrow in hopes we can motivate people to stay strong (I was partly behind this one) but I have a feeling there are some sweets in my future and I think that is just plain OK for a sweet holiday. What makes it work for me is doubling up today! Paying extra attention to my diet today and hitting the gym twice in hopes I burn off a few sweethearts in advance. It's all about the balance and cutting yourself some slack.

Started the morning with an awesome fusion fly spin class and headed back for a double dose later tonite. Let's hope it's worth it and I get a HUGE box of chocolates for vday!

Need. Food.

What is it about winter and wanting to eat ALL the time? Is it just me? I swear I am hungry non stop no matter what I eat or what I do. I will blame it on the cold. However I still have to be on a beach in 3 weeks so this is going to begin the week of no excuses. I have stuck to my eating about 60% of the time, falling off the wagon more often that not :(  Ugh, go away winter, I need warm sunny skies with happy outdoor workouts!!!

Today is Monday. It's not been the best Monday for me so far, but always a great day to start over like its a new year. I ate my bad day away in leftover birthday cake (sometimes, it's just what works) and tomorrow it will be time to get back on the wagon! The workouts are there. It's always the diet that needs tightening up, be ready for some foodie posts!

Sometimes it just takes a reminder to one's self that we are healthy and strong and no matter what, today is a good day.
