Challenge Day 3...kind of...

I failed. And I semi-failed.

Today was crazy and tiring. I shadowed an intense trainer that had us workout with the clients, and they were doing like a boot camp circuit-type workout. My two internship clients cancelled today, so I was at least able to sit for a couple hours today. Then I went to work, and I did not have to teach classes. I forgot that Thursday's classes are in the morning. So, really the day was not as difficult as I planned it to be. Well, maybe it was, but it was all crammed into that boot camp circuit. Yeah...that sounds about right.

The semi-fail was I went shopping hungry. I had 30 minutes before I had to go pick up my kidlets, so I ran to the store. Before I even arrived, I wanted chocolate. I talked myself down from a jug of milk for a week's worth (or more) of homemade hot cocoa to a Snicker's bar (simply so I would have a bit of chocolate without ensuring that I would be indulging every day for the next 7-10 days). I picked a Snicker's because it has peanuts, so I'd at least be getting a bit of protein. Right? That evens out? ... No? Dang. Anyway, I almost didn't eat the whole bar because it was sickeningly sweet. I guess I have been eating better if my old treats are now too much for me. Next time I get weak, I'll get one of those nice dark chocolate bars without all the bells and whistles and make it worth the splurge. The other good note is that I also talked myself out of Cheetoh's. They were on an end-cap, and they were like Sirens singing "Cruuuunchy saaaalty gooooodness!!!!" But I resisted, knowing I was already going to cheat with a candy bar.

So, I got home and immediately started dinner since it was already time to eat. My plan was to do the workout first and THEN cook, but I was too tired to remember that tidbit. So dinner began, I took my first couple bites, and then remembered the workout. Unfortunately, I have already sat down, which means I'm not getting back up for something strenuous. Yeah, I know, I'm lazy, and that's a mindset I need to work on. There's no reason I can't let dinner digest and then workout, right? Right. But, truth be told, I don't want to. I'm excessively sore, I am teaching classes tomorrow at work, and I know that at this point, it is more important that I sleep instead of workout (especially since I technically exercised this morning).

So, I'll post my food for today, and then I'm going to bed. I'll redo day 3 tomorrow. I only work a half-day, so there's no reason for me to not do the workout.
