I hate changing up gyms because what you can lift in weight on one type of machine is a lot different on another type of machine which is annoying. The good part about working out in my condo gym is that I spent half of my workout in there alone. I adjusted the television to HGTV and watched House Hunters International while doing my 80 squats, it was pretty cool. C and I then decided to go see The Avengers in 3D this afternoon. After my workout I felt really good, and I knew that I wanted to eat theater popcorn so badly, but I 100% shouldn’t, so I decided I’d pack my own healthy snacks to take to the movies. If I didn’t, there was no way I was going to order something “healthy” at the theatre… do they even have a “healthy” theater option? You know what they say, “fail to plan, plan to fail!” so I got my butt into the kitchen and put some cherry tomatoes, turkey slices and chicken breast into a Tupperware container and put them in my purse. As soon as I got into the theatre, all I could smell was that amazing popcorn smell and my mouth instantly started to water. I decided to wait in line for the tickets while C got whatever he was getting from the snack counter so I would have to spend as little time possible looking at all the sweet sugar/corn goodness. C got chicken tenders, and while we were waiting for them, I saw someone else order chicken nuggets. I wanted them so badly, I don’t even know how to explain how badly I wanted them. They were so small, they looked like popcorn chicken and you literally got probably a cup and a half of them. Thank god for C, he said “you have healthy snacks Sarah – don’t buy them!” so I walked away quickly and put them out of my mind. Phew – close one. This one instance made me think about planning for success in general. I’m fairly dedicated to my fitness, and I eat better than the average population most of the time, but what I lack in is planning for success in situations where I know I’m going to be tempted to eat bad things. I knew at my family reunion I was going to be around a ton of “bad foods”, we were bringing Popeyes, another person I knew was bringing KFC, there’s always a ton of cheese and sweets, and meat (luckily). I didn’t plan to bring anything that I knew was 100% safe for me like I did in April for Easter, and I didn’t succeed. Same for my weekends. I never plan them out very well, I eat out a ton and drink more than need be… going forward this is going to be something I consciously work on. Hold me to it!! No drinking through the week, and I need to eat better on weekends. Now that I’ve addressed it, I think it will help me….. I’ll right about it for sure because I know when I have to share something publicly like this, I don’t want to be embarrassed with the end result.The movie was great by the way, I would highly recommend it! After the movie we did groceries. I’m glad I ate because I hate grocery shopping on an empty stomach. We got some fresh salmon for dinner tonight and had that with fresh plantain, peas and I had sweet potato and C had rice. Overall it was an amazing weekend. I got to see some great family, a great movie and I did get in the one workout I vowed to do. Tomorrow I think I’m going to attempt the Angie workout… 100 push-ups, 100 pull-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats as fast as you can. If my time is totally pathetic, I’ll let you know how it goes! Sleep tight!Stay sweet.
