The Make A Change Challenge ~ Week II
“If you try anything, if you try to lose weight, or to improve yourself, or to love, or to make the world a better place, you have already achieved something wonderful, before you even begin. Forget failure. If things don’t work out the way you want, hold your head up high and be proud. And try again. And again. And again!” — Sarah Dessen
My second week of participating in the Make A Change Challenge was an absolute failure. I didn’t eat badly, until the weekend of course, but I got virtually no exercise. What did me in this weekend? What else…pizza and beer!
I blame my mother and husband. My mother agreed to take the boys OVERNIGHT and hubby persistently encouraged my excessive drinking, even ordering Irish Car Bombs after I was already well on my way to drunkenness.
It was a good time. We went out with some friends to watch both The Blackhawks and Da Bulls play. Da Bulls lost. The Blackhawks won! The group we were with are huge Hawks fans and the bar and our friends went nuts every time they scored.
At one point I was texting some friends who were refusing to join us at the bar due to some lame excuse having to do with not leaving children home alone. In an effort to convince them, I sent them this lovely picture of our view at the bar…
Surprisingly this did not convince them. I think I would have had better luck with the picture that I missed when he stood up and we got a full view of his….assets. Yes, I’m pretty sure that would have done the trick.
Despite my sloth and gluttony, I somehow managed to stay at last week’s weight! I did eat well most of the week so it makes a little sense. I wonder how much I would have lost if I had stuck with it all weekend and exercised.
Anyway, this makes my percentage for this week is 0.00000% and I lost 0 pounds. Or, to put it in the most optimistic way, I gained 0 pounds. Even Steven.
I have got to get my act together this week or my….assets are going to start to resemble that picture.
Thanks for stopping by!
I’m starting a new eating regimen today. For now, I just hope I can make it to the weekend
Haha. A girl’s gotta have fun! And at least it didn’t hurt you. I had my even steven week last week so don’t be too hard on yourself.
hi,
nice blog!:)
my diet also goes off in the weekends! i like your positive thinking about zero pounds gained, i will try to incorporate that in my diet thinking also! keep it up !
I am on this ride with you. What I have come to realize is I just need a weekend plan. With just a little modification we are close to breaking our even steven, right? So we don’t need to perfect all week, just a little better than all out on the weekend. My friend has a strategy to drink something different that her “favorite” to help moderate-white wine to red wine. Just a thought! Good luck…..
everyday I think…today is the day…but, alas…food and sofa pull me in. I wish you good luck.. Diet and no smoking?…brave, brave girl.
