Temptation Got the Best of Me

Well, I had to work today and temptation did, as the title indicates, get the best of me.  *sigh*  I didn't do as bad as I have on previous weekends, but I'm still a little mad at myself for giving into the gooey cinnamon roll with sticky caramel sauce and then later the mashed potatoes with country gravy.  What makes me most mad about the last part is that it wasn't even that good.  But I ate it anyway.  :/  And then there was dinner, which got out of hand, too.

On the plus side, I did hit the gym today, since I was scheduled for resting or cross training.  I've "rested" every off day this week, so I decided it was time to get my butt in the gym, especially after today's awful eating.  I only did the elliptical for 30 minutes, but I managed to burn 340 calories, so I hope that helps create a deficit of sorts.  Probably not, but maybe it at least took care of the darn doughnut I ate before I left work.  *shake my head*

I know, I'm pretty hard on myself.  It's something I'm trying to overcome, but as they say, you will always be your toughest critic.  And I tend to be very overcritical.  It's my defense mechanism.  If I criticize myself before you do, then I beat you to the punch and it doesn't hurt as much.  (You, as in, you in general, by the way).

I guess the good thing about today is that I still have 4 days until weigh in to fix everything.  I have two runs scheduled during that time as well, plus I hope to get into the gym at least one of the rest days.  I looked for my 30 Day Shred DVD tonight because I thought I could do that on my rest days when I can't get to the gym, but it seems to have disappeared.  :/  Oh well.  I have a pilates DVD that I borrowed from a friend but haven't checked out yet.
