Major Challenge, Part I

WELL here we go.  

Break-up numero uno of 2015 is upon me.  

The first thing I always want to do after a break-up is to TREAT MAH SELF.  Huey's cheeseburger?  Yes.  Late-night Sonic run?  Absolutely.  A whole pizza all to myself?  Do it.  A pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream? GET IT, GIRL.  You DESERVE this.  (You can see the problem...)

I do have an edge here, because I've been planning for this particular break-up for about two weeks now.  I was mentally prepared, or at least as much as I could've been.  So the regular sad spiral isn't as dramatic as it would have been if I hadn't been expecting this.  And I did indulge myself a little yesterday.  I took a nice long nap in the afternoon after eating a big ole french dip from Lenny's (thanks to my amazeball friends).  I ate a second helping of dinner at the farm, and I had a yummy piece of cake while watching Mr. Selfridge with the parents.  I also soaked my feet and took a hot bath when I got home.  The other side of indulging myself is that I forced myself to get everything together so that the beginning of the work week didn't overwhelm me too badly.  I had my clothes laid out, washed the dishes, cut up all my fruit, changed my bed sheets, did my laundry, worked out early this morning, had my protein shake and regular thermogenics breakfast, and I'm going to hot yoga later tonight with Amanda.

All in all, I'm working my ass off to stave off the crippling sadness that COULD set in (but that will not because I'm going to handle myself in a normal, healthy way).

SO.  Back to the grind.  I got my squats and abs in this morning, and I worked on my arms.

Side note: Saturday was a major victory for me because I woke up early enough to get to the gym and get a good workout in, do my grocery shopping for the week, and clean up the rest of the house before the Crawfish Fest shenanigans started.  That all made SUCH a difference in the weekend and in the way I feel today, so I need to continue to buckle down like that.
