Well, it’s time for me to saddle up and get down to business. This past week hasn’t been so pretty, at least in my eyes. Do you ever feel like when you are so focused on one thing, it’s hard to maintain focus on other things? That’s me.

My sites have been so heavily set on Team in Training and stressing about fundraising, that all I want to do is eat. Seriously.

*beep beep beep beep*

That’s the sound of the forklift backing up to my mouth so I can shovel the food in.

It’s got to stop. Fast.

My infractions for the week:

1. Candy.
2. Chocolate covered strawberries.
3. Party treats at my son’s Valentine’s Day party. Way too many treats.
4. The Pioneer Woman’s chicken parmigiana.
5. Chocolate frozen yogurt with peanut butter spooned on top.
6. More candy.
7. Not enough water.

I do *not* normally eat this way. I purposely don’t keep candy and sweet treats in the house because, HELLO, look what happens. No control!

On a good note, I will say that one night I scooped a heapin’ helpin’ of fro yo into a bowl and topped it with an extra large dollup of extra crunchy peanut butter, and after the first bite I was so disappointed in myself that I put the bowl in the sink and ran hot water on it! HA! That took some willpower. I mean who wants to waste chocolate peanut buttery goodness like that?!

Did you know that extra crunchy peanut butter has 200 calories in TWO TABLESPOONS, and that 2 tablespoons is to be measured level, as in NOT heapin’? Yup.

Another positive is that my training for the San Diego 1/2 marathon is going great! My runs have been amazing and so invigorating!!

So that’s it. Hopefully the scales will be nice to me in the morning. Lord knows I’ll be hitting the Last Chance Tworkout with extra intensity tonight!

Honestly, I don’t feel like I have much to confess this week. Next week, will be a different story though! My son’s birthday is Thursday and mine is Friday, so let me tell you there will be cake, and parties, and lots of food.

Anyway, here are my confessions:

1. I’d gotten a little behind on the EAS 30-day Challenge, but now I’m just about caught up! I think I’m only 1 day behind now, which isn’t bad!
2. I’ve been eating really well, and obviously working out, even adding in some extra workouts and outdoor activities.
3. I have been very stressed because of party planning and trying to fit everything in to my daily schedule.
4. I’ve also been stressed because I have family coming to visit.
5. Everyday when I step on the scales the number is worse. I just don’t get it. It’s so very frustrating.
6. This past week, I’ve considered giving up more than once. Heck, more than 3 times. I’m just really over this.
7. This is going to turn into a big, fat whinefest. I can feel it.
8. WHY is it that I’m working out, more than I’ve ever worked out, and it seems like I’m running backwards? For real.
9. Okay, I’m done. I’m going to go drink some water, since I just got done working out. TWICE.

All I want to do today is eat. I’m not, but I’m so tempted and the day is still so young. I have several friends in stressful situations right now, and I’m kinda stressed about how much I have to do for ruby & roja and I have house guests, and I have posts to write for blogs and UGH.

So yeah, I pretty much just want to drown my stress with food. While I sit on my couch with my laptop glued to my LAP.

Somebody slap me please.
