-- failure is not an option --

I promised I would be honest about how I was doing with my goals and here I am, being honest.

The past few days I have been on point.  Eating right, drinking my shakeology once a day, and working out.  I KICKED A$$ yesterday at kickboxing.  Was SUPER proud of myself.  I ache, I have nasty bruises, and I knocked my kneecap out of joint, but I was on fire!

And then today....

Ugh.  Where to begin?

First, last night was miserable.  My kids are coming down with summer colds.  That means a 2.5 year old and a 5 month old have stuffy noses and both want mom.  I was up a lot last night holding one and then the other.  So I was exhausted.

Wednesdays are my errand days, and I had plenty to do.  Office Depot for business supplies and to pick up prints.  Target to get a baby shower gift for Sunday.  Books-a-Million for a much needed pep-talk book (and maybe another book in a series I enjoy that just so happened to be $5... SCORE!)  And Wal-Mart for the very much needed grocery shopping (like we literally ran out of healthy food yesterday and I needed to go shopping) and to pick up baby shower supplies (I am co-hosting the shower.)

To sum that up, I was tired, hungry, and a little stressed about getting this all done and still getting time to spend with my husband who works nights, sleeps most of the day, and is with us for a few hours every afternoon....  and who just so happened to get another raise!  (Good job, Babe!)

I decided we needed to get out and celebrate and we ended up eating at Twin Peaks.

If you have not had their fish tacos, you are missing out...  so good.  Oh, so good.  I ate all 3.  I did skip the chips and ate my husbands summer squash that was covered in melted butter... oh, so good.

(not my picture, but there it is in all of it's glory - fish tacos!)

First fail of the day.

Then, because of all the running around, I didn't get home and done with all my errands till late.  Which meant that I still hadn't fed Nono dinner (thank you PB&J) or Damion (thank you baby cereal and mommy milk!)  And it also meant I had not eaten anything either.  Ya, you hear the uh-oh....

Second fail.  I had gone 7 hours between meals and I was so hungry!  So I ate 2 PB tortilla wraps and a plum.  I know, not bad, but...

I didn't have my shake today.  And no exercise.

Third and Fourth Fail of the day.

I know reading this seems silly, it isn't like I had eaten a whole cake or something (which, I am going to have to watch it this weekend, cause I may be really tempted at a wedding and baby shower!)  Thing is, I was doing so well but I let my busy life take control today and right now I feel *blah*.  Mentally I am tired, physically I feel drained, and I am not liking it.

Making this a lesson for the day.  If you break from a good routine, you will hurt for it.  Tomorrow I will be back on track, I will be going to kickboxing, and I will forget today ever happened.

Tomorrow is another day.  I will pick myself up and just keep trying!
