Too Much Yumminess & Not enough Running!
Help! I've indulged the last few days which normally isn't a problem if it wasn't also accompanied with a rest day that I didn't need! So Saturday was awesome I started with a 7:30am Endurance Spin Class, 15 miles, followed by a 8:45 am Yoga class, which really helped my foot and hips and made me break a sweat. Then I went for 3 miles with the puppy. I was also very productive on the home front doing some major spring cleaning!! I followed all that by a girls night out.
Then come Sunday I decided I wouldn't get as early of a start I watched a chick flick then read an entire book, ok it was an easy read Jenny McCarthy's Love, Lust and Faking it isn't exactly like reading a college text book. But I needed to just let my mind and body rest. The problem is I never got around to my run that day and replaced it with making Vegan Coconut lime cupcakes. Delicious, I ate two, and was in a sugar coma after that! The only thing keeping me from eating the rest of the dozen is the fact that I've been told when the bf gets back from his current military school he will apparently be 20 lbs lighter and needing lots of food!
Monday I was able to get a great swim in 2400 meters of alternating breast and free style and a sensible dinner. Tuesday I had every intention of doing my usual weight lifting session followed by a 3-4 mile run. When a friend of mine sent me an e-mail saying I know this is a long shot because of your triathlon coming up and last minute but would you be willing to go to Ladies Night Out at Melting Pot with me tonight? The thing is I had wanted to go there for my birthday in January and due to some extenuating circumstances that I won't mention here it was cancelled. So I had been dying to go for months and couldn't say no!!!! But in order to make my reservation I only had enough time to go home play with the doggy and leave. So did you know that my serving of the four course meal was about 1,400 calories and 60 grams of fat!!!! Again with no workout!!! It was so yummy but all this is going to start adding up. I need to come back to reality and get back on track! How do you make sure you don't get distracted by yummy treats and dinners?

Sometimes your body just needs the fat, sugar, and calories! :-) Those cupcakes look AMAZING - can you please post the recipe. And, I love the melting pot - its so delsih. My favorite is the beer/cheese - yum!

Write it off to the Devil's work, say three "Hail Mary's" and the calories will disappear.
Thanx! Yes, I will post the recipe they are too delicious not to share! Hopefully I'll get to it this weekend. Nice I will get right on those Hail Mary's I just wish I remembered how it went :-)
Wow those cupcakes look divine!
Those cupcakes look awesome and I love the Melting Pot. When I indulge too much, I try not to be too hard on myself and then I hit the gym extra hard the next week. You gotta celebrate a little every now and again or all the working out isn't worth it. ;)
OMG I want those cupcakes
Sometimes its nice to just let loose for a week, we know we can control it and will be back to work and burning it off.
Way to kill your workouts holy Saturday!!!
Cupcakes are always so tempting and those do not disappoint!
Couldn't find your email, but no, not my first tri. It's my first Oly. I've done two sprints. I love the sprints and am panicking about the Oly. LOL! Thanks for the well wishing.
