There's a moment in the movie Fools Rush In when Salma Hayek is yelling at her love interest. Matthew Perry (said love interest) is trying to explain why he's been an absentee husband and she interrupts him by yelling EXCUSES, EXCUSES! in her oh so wonderfully accented English. That's how I feel lately, I have her voice on loop in my brain...
So I had every intention of making this vacation time a period of good and healthy eating and regular and active workout. None of the that happened. Why? Well let me give you a few "reasons".........
Ok I don't have any, let me tell you my excuses, I've been tired, my back's been hurting me, I had a BBQ, ran out of the healthy food....See all of these might seem like pretty good reasons but the Salma in my head seems to disagree. I missed my meeting after the BBQ and my scale at home says my weight is increasing. It's hot outside so all I want to do is stay cool and oddly enough I don't want to eat whole meals I just want to eat ice cream or anything cold, that's it. So instead I've been laying about being lazy and terrible. I'm out of motivation again...sigh.
In the words of Olympia Dukakis..."your life's going down the toilet!"
ReplyDeleteMaybe what is needed is some cool meal ideas for the hot weather. And ice cream is not a meal, it's treat to be enjoyed in small quantities!
You knew summer break was going to be a challenge and despite the excuses, excuses you are acknowledging it early enough to do something about it before the scale is really giving you bad news.
