Sins of the Body

Ooooh, that sounds naughty, doesn't it?  Well, I hate to disappoint, but this is not THAT kind of blog.  You'll have to look elsewhere if that's what you're looking for. 

I feel like I owe my body an apology, or a confession.  So, here goes:

Forgive me, body, for I have sinned.  This week I am guilty of laziness and gluttony.  Laziness because I only worked out once.  I know that no excuse is a good excuse, but it was simply too hot to jog outside. I did go swimming several days, but it didn't involve a whole lot of actual swimming, so I don't think it did much good besides cooling me down.  I know I could have jogged at the college track, in the lovely air conditioning, but I didn't.  Gluttony because I totally pigged out this week.  I had major craving issues, and gave in to them each and every day.  Chips, candy, cheezits, Burger King.......you name it, I probably ate it this week.  (JUST realized the cravings may be due to my almost-here period but that doesn't mean I have to GIVE IN).  The worst part is that none of it was worth it.  Well, ok, maybe the cheezits were.  I LOVE cheezits.  But the chips and candy, the cheetos........they didn't taste as good as I was expecting, they didn't satisfy me like I hoped they would and they made my digestive system do strange things.

I regret every bad decision I have made.  I understand and accept the penance you will hand down unto me - which will be the 5 or so pounds I have most likely gained this week - and I will strive to do better in the future.
