Bottomed Out

Well I didn't work out yesterday and I ended up having to deal with some really difficult stuff which as a result sent me into a downward spiral. I hate really badly yesterday.

For breakfast I had oatmeal which wasn't bad, then my snack was an apple again I seemed to be holding it together considering I was hit with a bombshell of bad news and then I was an emotional train wreck.

Lunch I said screw it and had 2 spicy burritos (1300mg of sodium for both of them combined- yikes!) then I had a cookie and I went to nap as my husband came home to help me cope. I was supposed to do my workout but I was just so emotionally exhausted from crying all morning that I couldn't. I missed my snack and was scheduled to have a girls night with one of my bessies. She didn't arrive until 7PM and I had eaten a "pigs in a blanket" that my husband made for my kids. Which if you are not familiar is a hot dog wrapped in a puff pastry. Bad, bad and more bad to follow.

We went to Original Joe's for supper. I ordered a chipotle chicken quesadilla with home-cut fries and their famous "dill dip" and a bottle of wine - ha. She ordered some hummus and bread too and asked me to share it with her. I was so STUFFED and we continued to keep drinking and socializing.

At the end of it I had 7 glasses of wine and believe me I am not thinking it was the best idea in the world today. The food and atmosphere was amazing and the night out was exactly what I needed, and the company. So it was a bad day with a bad night and there is no way in heck I am weighing in this week.

I am really going to try and push through as much fluids as possible today, I am finding myself quite dehydrated.
For my breakfast I made an avocado, spinach, banana, coconut greek yogurt and pinapple juice smoothie. My goal is to drink 7 of these 24oz bottles. I was told that for 1 glass of wine you need to drink about 24oz of water to counter it, well I had 7 glasses of wine so I need to counter it. I am already 2 in today and its 10AM -- I started pounding the water back at like 4 or 5am. I was so parched.

If I can I want to do 3x the workouts today. Today was a double day anyway and I need to make up for yesterdays total body. I want to stay on track for this T25. Yes I know this sounds extreme, and my husband has also told me that at some point I need to go swimming this weekend so I can start training for my triathlon and figure out my swim times.

I have a challenging day ahead of me but I feel rejuvenated, and ready to get back on track.

Joelene shared the most amazing quote on my timeline on Facebook today which is EXACTLY what I needed to read:

Life doesn't always go how you want it to go. There will be obstacles, problems & things that just plain suck.

What matters most is how you handle it.....go ahead cry, emotionally eat, think that the world is unfair & forget to brush your teeth.

BUT after you catch your breath & get some rest....you need to pick yourself up and carry on. 

Seriously what great friends I have. That really is exactly what I needed to read, especially after last night.

So here I go... I am going to pick myself back and make this day count as best I can!
