goredgo- Day 40

I have been having an affair. I haven't mentioned it because like all affairs it made me feel good but was undermining at the same time. It happens every morning and started at the gas station but now I get it where ever I can.

Yep- I have been having an affair with Chocolate muffins and hot chocolate every morning. What were you thinking?

I realized as I struggled through my fit test this morning that my little foodie affair has been undermining my progress even though I haven't been seeing it during the last two weeks. I realized as I was doing my fit test that it's not only the chocolate muffins and hot chocolate in the morning- it's a "fun-sized" 3 musketeers in the afternoon instead of carrots and peanut butter. And it's a glass of Coke instead of a glass of unsweetened Raspberry Zinger tea. Blame it on PMS, blame it on complacency, but I recognized this morning that it is wrong and have re-committed myself to eating right. After all- if I am going to push my body in these crazy work-outs I need to give it the good stuff it needs to run right.

I am also going to amp up my Curves days workouts. I don't think a full morning of Insanity followed by an after-work trip to Curves is on the menu yet but I do think a 15 minute date with Cardio Abs in the morning might be a better way to start my day and remind me of what I am trying to accomplish. Below are my Fit test (which I should have done on Monday -I know) results. Not too shabby considering what a slacker and snacker I have been over the last three weeks.
