Just because you had a good workout...

...doesn't mean that you have license to eat for the whole day.
...doesn't mean that you dont have to workout again tomorrow.
...doesn't mean that you will lose more weight - but it could so keep it up.

I need to repeat these things over and over in the hopes that one day they will stick.

SO - My rash girl still has her rash and my 5 year old woke up throwing up - no joke. I had the option of calling my sisters and cancelling my killer workout (since DH is a work all day) OR calling my mom at 5:30 a.m. Part of me hates the fact that I called, but the other part is reading the note I put on my fridge: "If you want something bad enough you will find a way - if you don't you will find excuses" That's a paraphrase, and I stole it from someone else, but it rings true and I read daily. My mom came - I knew that she would - and I headed to my sister's house for a 4 mile hilly run, followed by an even hillier 9 mile bike ride. It was my first real workout in 12 days. The run sucked until the last mile, but the bike felt good. Were it not for the fact that my throat still hurts and I have to cough a lot, I would be feel awesome. Endorphins totally kicked in. THANKS MOM!

She's offered to come back this afternoon and watch the kids here so that DH and I can have our planned anniversary dinner out (she was supposed to take the kids overnight). Again, THANKS MOM! I honestly don't know what I would do without her!
