I made it to the gym once this week for Body Pump and some walking. The rest of the time I challenged myself to see how much really heinous food I could scarf down. I believe that 5 cream filled donuts at one sitting was this week's PR (hey, a PR is a PR!).
I know I am in trouble when I start eating in the car and whatever package of crap I am chowing down on never makes it home.. Other casualties of the basic food groups this week included entire bags of Twizzler Cherry Bites, Hershey Almond Chocolate Minis, and those caramel thingies with the powdered sugar inside. And a huge jar of mixed nuts. And my personal favorite, PIZZA! But don't worry, no vegetables, fruits or low-fat products were hurt in the massacre.
However, the free-fall descent into obesity and self loathing seems to have been halted rather rudely (THANK GOD!!!) by meeting Anna's boyfriend's family when, coincidentally, we all ended up at Uno's Chicago Pizza and Grill for dinner last night. She is a fitness goddess who enjoys going to the same gym as mine after work and on Saturday MORNINGS. Mercifully I have never run in to her. Note to Kelly: She is a "Chipper Jen" type. Also she qualified for the Boston Marathon on her 40th birthday (and every year there after, it seems) at the Baltimore Marathon. Anna introduce me as her mom who is training for the Baltimore Half-Marathon. At the time I was hoisting a handful of french fries to my mouth. Very auspicious start.
And so, rather than hoping my daughter breaks up with her boyfriend in order to save face, I have jumped (OK, not jumped, more like shuffled) back on the fitness wagon. Fortunately, there is a Chipper Jen in everyone's life, annoying us and prodding us to do our best, or even our worst, but just...as the commercial say, DO IT!
