Excuses, excuses

I can't believe that I only started this blog yesterday and already I've got to post some excuses!

So last night after work, we got home at a reasonable time (after going out for sushi). I cleaned up the kitchen, processed the milk (we milk a goat daily), prepped the coffee maker for the next day, packed up my lunch and filled my water bottle. I was all prepared to change for my workout when I saw that The Biggest Loser was on TV. I have a weakness for this show. I can't help it. So I stood there like an idiot watching the intro and knowing full well that I was about to blow off my workout. My H actually suggested that we record it and watch it the next day, but for whatever reason, that didn't sit well with me. I wanted to watch it NOW. So, watch it I did.

During each commercial break I got up and did one more task so that come morning, I could easily fit in a workout before work. I'd decided that 'athletes' workout in the morning, so that was going to be my MO too. In fact, I was kind of excited about it. And then it occurred to me that every single time I've been successful with weight loss, I'd been working out in the AM. So...that was the plan. Get up 45 min early to get in a workout.

Then my H told me that we needed to carpool (he had to go into the office when he normally works from home) and we had to leave by 7:15am. Crap. That screws up my plans, but no matter...I'll just get up earlier. So I set my alarm for what I thought was 5 am.

At 6 am when I was startled awake by the dogs barking, it occurred to me that I must have set my alarm for 5 pm. Yep, sure enough. Thank goodness the dogs barked when they did so that I could at least get the morning chores done before we had to leave.

But yeah, you guessed it...no workout. I still ate my healthy breakfast and I'm still cooking a healthy dinner tonight. And I'll do both my strength and cardio workouts tonight (no biggie) but this may throw me off for the week because I don't want to do two heavy lifting workouts in a row without rest - particularly at this early stage. How frustrating!!
