Days 2, 3 and 4

Fail. Webster defines it as an "omission of occurrence or performance; specifically : a failing to perform a duty or expected action" Technically I failed this weekend. Literally, I was only successful 50% of the time on this nutritional challenge and 75% of the time in my goal for CrossFit. So what went wrong? Nothing! Absolutely nothing went wrong! I had fun! Ok missing CrossFit on Friday was because I didn't actually eat enough food and I ended up really tired and falling asleep but the nutritional aspect was kind of worth it. Yes, I have to restart again today but honestly? Not too upset by that. I am happy that I didn't go crazy and just eat whatever I wanted, though I did NOT eat enough on Saturday at all and suffered for it. My weekend was truly amazing. I had an absolute blast seeing a terrific band on Friday night with some friends and a guy I like and then relaxed most of my Saturday, sleeping off the massive amounts of Tequila I consumed (Bad, I know!), and Sunday was probably one of the best days I have had in a long time!

Ok...Just to clarify, Sunday was not the best day because a roommate moved out. (Though it did remove some intense built up tension in the home); Sunday was absolutely phenomenal because of my friends, the love of my life on four legs, and my family. The sun came out and was perfect while we were at the beach with Daisy. Daisy was an absolute doll; playing with other dogs, getting braver with the water...etc and then family dinner that night was just a reminder as to how lucky I am. My brother, with his gruff, just do it attitude, got me back on track with some realities on this 5k run. We talked about different strategies with this entire training plan and how I can get into shape without destroying my knees and my ankles. We went over the importance of nutrition (again...I tend to forget when its convenient) and what results I can expect to see when I stick to it. Driving home, I couldn't stop smiling. How lucky am I to have a family that isn't afraid to call me out on my BS, hold me accountable for my actions and then beat me back into submission? Kidding! But seriously, it amazes me the amount of support and love that I get from them. It doesn't matter that we fight and argue and completely disagree with the decisions that we are making (ok, mostly mine...like when I run off to Rhode Island or move to Texas) but we continue to be there for each other.

No. This weekend was NOT a failure but just a small detour on my plan. This weekend was the perfect weekend and I do not have a regret....except for sleeping through Girl's Night :(

So I guess this means that this is now Day 1 again...?
