Today has been extremely interesting. I woke up with pink eye! I know, DISGUSTING! Because of my eye, I had to miss multiple workouts today. The first workout I skipped to walk to the store to find medicine. I ended up buying $100 worth of things to make me feel better -- Epsom salt, chapstick, biofreeze, bandaids, visine, and the list goes on.
After an AMAZING breakfast (blueberry pancakes, a hard boiled egg, a slice of grilled pineapple, and a green juice), we headed down to Torrey Pines to hike the mountain along the beach. It was the most gorgeous hike I have ever gone on. It made me want to live in California forever. I love looking at the ocean from atop of a cliff.
After lunch I went to the doctor, missing yet another workout. I spent the next two hours getting my eye looked at and getting my medicine. Here is where I slipped up. At the store I was very emotional - I hate being sick when I am not at home. So I went searching for comfort food and settled for a bag of whole wheat pretzels and dark chocolate. I only allowed myself one serving of each - a total of about 300 calories.
When I returned to my hotel room, I was feeling incredibly guilty and ashamed. In the past this would have caused me to keep spiraling downwards. But a great thing happened instead, I went to the gym to workout. I promised myself I would stay for at least an hour and I ended up staying an hour and half.
So the point of this... Ever situation has a silver lining. Yes I messed up and cheated on my diet but I have started to retrain myself to hit the gym after a step backwards instead of spiraling out of control.
