Agghh Birthdays...
My JC consultant told me that I need to work up to 30 minute workouts 5 days a week. This is good I guess, I am doing about 4 times a week. The one thing that bugs me is that I sweat like a pig. I literally sweat a lot. I was running around on Saturday helping my sister get ready for my niece’s party and went to wash the dishes. Sweat was dripping from my nose! Not just a drip, but a steady stream. I know that is totally gross. No amount of deodorant or powder will control my perspiration. Don’t get me wrong, during the day while at work or at home – there are no problems, but if there is exertion – watch out. So let me get to my point. I HATE WASHING MY HAIR EVERYDAY! If I am going to workout 5 times a week, I cannot and will not go without washing my hair. Now, I am not one of those people who has really bad hygiene. I wash my hair every other day. No real point here but was just venting on how my personal hygiene habits are going to have to adapt to my new lifestyle.
So guess what? My sister’s birthday is on Saturday. 2 birthdays in 2 weeks in 3 weeks of me going on my plan. The Universe is against me!! Since my family celebrates everything with food out– off my plan I go. I know I can pick something healthy but as RotundReality’s says, “Mr. Willpower & I are not currently the best of friends.”
Last Saturday at my niece’s birthday party – I did not stray from my plan (I ROCK)! When everyone else was eating I went and got my JC meal and I don’t think anyone knew otherwise. God was in my favor when my sister brought out the cake. It looked so good until she mentioned it was strawberry. Oh, the nerve! I extremely dislike strawberry cake! So hopefully at my sister’s party they will have some awful type of cake. Unfortunately after strawberry there aren’t many that I don’t like. Maybe tres leches cake. That is the most disgusting thing I have every put in my mouth. For those who haven’t heard of this cake, let me try and explain. I am not sure of the exact ingredients, white cake with milk poured over it and then frosted. At first looking at it, it looks like a typical piece of cake, but NO, don’t be fooled. Once you place it in your mouth, you will know. The cake is soggy, it tastes like it has been masticated. YUCK!!
You know what; I always talk about food on this blog. I need to change that. Next time, no food will be mentioned. I probably just complain about exercising. JUST KIDDING!
