It was a good day, but a bad evening. A very bad evening.
I won’t expound here, but I will say that a bad evening translates into a good workout: when I’m upset (or angry, or stressed), I feel compelled to push myself harder than normal at the gym. I try to make the emotional pain fade by trading it for physical exhaustion.
When your muscles ache and tremble from fatigue, it’s hard to think of anything but a hot bath and a soft bed. Through exercise, my hurt is numbed.
Probably not healthy, but it’s better than my old habit: binging and purging.
With that said, my exercise tonight basically cancelled out the entirety of my day:
Fortunately for me, I ate my “planned cheat,” the gluten-free chocolate chip cookie I was salivating over in an earlier blog post, before heading to the gym. So, at least that part of my evening went well!
Tomorrow is a new day. Tomorrow will be a better day.
Have a good night and bon appetit, my friends!

Wowser…over 3 hrs of training! Well done!! I battle with night time snacking at this stage….trying to dig deep this week and break this cycle.
PS You really didn’t do terribly with the food…one cookie? No need to feel guilty about that.
Thank you!! It made up for my crazy indulgences earlier in the week. 🙂
Ahh i need to go backwards. I read from latest post down so still working my way down. Well done though on owning up to that and trying to make up for that.
Thank you! My goal is to end up with a calorie deficit at the END of every week; that allows me to slip once or twice (I’m human!) and still make up for it by Sunday night. Thank you for reading!
Oh you are a bit a too hard on yourself. Congrats on getting out there and working out. 🙂
Ha! Thank you. 🙂 I am my worst critic most days.
