The Long and Winding Road

With week one done and dusted it has not been a great start for week two.
Week one flew by and without too many unexpected dramas.
 I made it to three sessions at the box and rode my bike along the waterfront on those I missed - commitment met.
Food wise again no hiccoughs as we have not changed our healthy eating habits even though I had not been training. My biggest challenge here I think is portion size. I had still been eating as though I was training and overeating even the healthiest of meals will still be a problem. So portion control will be this weeks focus.
Alcohol whilst banned on the challenge was consumed over the weekend but as it was also my Birthday weekend I had made note of this in my challenge goals and commitments. I didn't over indulge and even after  celebrating into the wee hours at a friends 50th I woke up the next morning feeling clearheaded and not hungover. I obviously had consumed enough for my brain to go momentarily AWOL as on leaving I decided calling a cab was unnecessary and it was a lovely night to walk the 7.6 kilometres home. Foolishly my husband Mark agreed and off we set. It was clear as we were halfway that this was not one of my better ideas and I made the rest of the journey heels in hand and sleepwalking. Sometimes I need saving from myself .....
So week two and yesterday seemed to be strewn with roadblocks and obstacles culminating in my car not starting and no training what so ever achieved  This was even more disappointing as it meant I also missed my own "birthday wod". Never mind hopefully I will have a date with Annie on my day off.
Food wise yesterday although home made with fresh ingredients was off track as well. My daughter as part of her gift to me came and made dinner, a wonderfully decadent creamy, rich Carbonara. Definitely in the comfort food category. I keep trying to tell myself that the zucchini,  mushrooms and peas she puts in her version balance out all the cream and cheese,
Oh well today is a new day and so far going great in all aspects. New day, new start on this long winding road. Oh and if needed feel free to step in and save me from myself if needed
