Speedbumps and Learning to Accept Them

here's the thing:

no matter how motivated a human being you are (and lately, i have been INCREDIBLY motivated), when you have to work for 14 hours+ in a single day, you're not gonna work out.

it's just not gonna happen, and ya know what?  i'm fine with that.

it's enough of an accomplishment that i managed not to abandon my new eating habits entirely the second i stepped on set (sing to me oh breakfast truck replete with omlett bars and lunch eaten at 2am with 16 different starch options) that i'm not gonna beat myself up about the fact that i couldn't manage to fit in a work out in the midst of all the chaos.

it does make me a little nervous for the future when i'm going to be required to be on set for more than a week at a time, but i'll take my victories where i can get them...

besides, i bet if i was wearing a pedometer on any of my on-set days i'd find that i'd walked about 5 miles anyway. 

this is me letting go of my guilt for not having worked out in a week, can't you tell?

anyway, i'm working on not beating myself up so much when things don't go exactly the way i planned, i'll let you know how that works out. 

i'm also going to make a WW friendly chocolate cake tonight, because if i don't have something sweet and safe to eat during all of this Halloween candy nonsense i will surely find myself locked in a closet binge eating candy corn (god i love candy corn) and bargaining with myself about how many more miles i'll have to walk to keep eating the candy corn...

wish me luck!
