BLOGGING THIS IN SHAME ! :-(

Quite the title right? Well maybe it's not as bad because there have been many wonderful positives that has happened since Week 2 and I have learned so much but staying consistent with the exercises and the diets have been soooooooooooo strenous.  I thought I had more will power than this - or maybe I'm not ready for this type of challenge.  I need more online support from my fellow FIYL bloggers, I read James and Nicky's blogs all the time and you guys really motivate me so hopefully I will be back on track soooner than later because I want to finish this 90 day challenge.  Anyhow,  Great work guys!!

Since the last time I bloged which was few days prior to V-Day was when the downhill spiral began - first there was a pot luck lunch @ work where people brought so much food from nachoes, wings, cakes, lasagna oh god you name it was there and I couldn't help but eat like a horse.  I don't know why I eat like a horse - am I obsessed with food? I sound like an obese 300lbs woman.  I need to learn how to control my cravings and my portions-work in progress.  Although since beginning FIYL, I have gone out less and cooked more at ome but when I do end up going out when I have to for e.g when my co-workers invite me out for a lunch, that’s when I just can’t watch what I eat.  I think it’s will power- I need more will power in me.  And oh yeah, I also cheated the other day when I went out for dinner with my family since I'm visiting them at the moment and I had baby back ribs with mashed potatoes- FML :-(.  I've been good on the alcohol side however - I have only had half a beer and one glass of wine all since February 1.  I'm not a big drinker so this hasn't been too hard.

On to the exercises - I can proudly say I can now do 800 jump ropes but I do have to take breaks in between because my calf muscles start to tighten up so in between I do the other exercises and then I get back to the skipping.  Quite frankly, since beginning FIYL - skipping ropes have been my favorite thus far so atleast I'm doing something right. 

But anyhow this week I’m on vacation visiting my parents which will give me no excuses for not executing the exercises.  Week 2 on diet was a complete FAIL so I’m hoping I redeem myself this week with my mom’s help.  She’s a great cook so this week while spending time with my parents, I’m going to take away some awesome recipes to try when I’m back in Toronto.  And I also need to be better at blogging.  Okay it’s almost midnight here – I better go to sleep.  Night Night J
