So my dear sisters and brothers, here we are at the point of the week that many of us dread. I haven’t had many True Confessions lately that I was embarrassed to post. Today, I’m not real proud of myself.
I had a pretty good week. I kept up with my boot camp workouts. I was doing a decent job with my eating. I was doing a good job with the mini challenges. I was walking five mornings this week. And then….the 4th of July hit me like a ton of bricks.
We had parties all weekend. I did a really good job up until the 4th. The party this day was at our house after the parade. I didn’t have to worry about driving home because I was already there. All the kids and grandkids were over along with my niece and her family and a few friends. I chased the grandkids all over the place. I took a million pictures of them in the pool and hot tub. I had a great time. I only had two drinks in the six hours they were here.
Everyone left and I preceded to have another four drinks. FOUR DRINKS!?!?! WTH!!! I don’t know what I was thinking. I guess the problem was that I wasn’t thinking. Talk about screwing up with a mess of empty calories.
I ended up taking an unintentional nap. I awoke to fireworks. It was only 7:52 so it wasn’t real fireworks. It was the fireworks that went off in my mind when I realized what an idiot I had been. Talk about being stupid.
Now, I get back on the horse and start over today. That’s the best part of True Confessions. You get to tell people that you have done stupid things and you get to start over. Today is our day to do just that.
I’m starting over. How about you? Did you do anything stupid over the long holiday weekend? Now is your time to tell us and get it off your chest. It is your time to start over. Write all about it and leave the link in the comments. I promise you’ll feel better. I sure do.
