Lesson learned!

Y'all. I really don't even have anything of validity to say, because truth be told this weekend I ate like CRAP! Total and complete crap. I'm not kidding. Judge me. Yell at me! 

Friday wasn't so bad, but I didn't eat enough! I was in bed until like five, oops. But I went out on my DATE and had some awesome sushi at a cute restaurant in five points! 

My date had never tried sushi (crazy, right!?!) so we split a California Roll and his roommate's recommendation of the rock n roll! The rock n roll was crab, avocado, cucumber, the usual- wrapped in squid and then fried. Pretty tasty, I won't lie!

I went to the lake on Saturday and consumed approximately 814170 calories in beer and APPARENTLY had some really awesome cheeseburger... I'm so ashamed! It was the first time since boot camp started (July 12th I think?) that I've really cheated. We get a "free day" with boot camp but we're still required to write down what we eat so our trainer can scold us appropriately. I wasn't so bad for the rest of the day, I had a subway sandwich for dinner. 6 inch ham on wheat with lettuce, provolone, and lite mayo. In comparison to the burger, it was an upgrade for sure!

We were supposed to come back to Columbia on Saturday night but the lake was so fun we wanted to go out on the water another day! This wasn't the best decision for me food wise though! Since I was a visitor in someone's home, I wasn't really in control of what I ate! (Not to mention we were in the deep south and everything is deep fried!) We went to a hole in the wall restaurant off the lake for breakfast on Sunday morning and I seriously had chicken fingers. Seriously. Chicken fingers. Like WHAT? Where were all of you to yell at me when I was making these poor decisions?!

As if I hadn't eaten badly enough all weekend, we went to Gilligan's for lunch and I had a steak and some steamed oysters. And a few bites (okay, a lot of bites) of the most delicious hush puppies I've ever eaten. Meanwhile, my phone was dead for the duration of the weekend, so I have no pictures to show you of the delicious fattening food I ate all weekend!

While it was all pretty darn yummy, it was NOT WORTH IT. I had boot camp this morning at 5:45 and I have never felt so sluggish or gross! I was dying. My body is so used to eating healthy organic food that this weekend really messed with me! I feel bloated and nasty :/ I need to do a cleanse or something! I probably still have hamburger grease and beer emanating from my pores. Ew. I have Zumba at 9 this morning and I am 100% back on the grind! No more fattening bad foods for me. If you ate like crap this weekend too, don't let it discourage you! You just have to let today be a new day and don't fall completely off the wagon! All is not lost! 

Getting healthy is not about a diet, it's a lifestyle change! We all know it's not easy to cut things out of your life, whether it be a toxic ex, a crappy friend, or fattening food. We are ALL going to fall off the wagon sometimes. But you have to realize that you should be the number one priority in your own life, and whatever is bringing you down has to go. Only allow things, food, and people in your life that make you feel better, and make you want to be better all the time. I know it's easier said than done, but if you make the conscious effort to better yourself every day, the realization will come to you. Be the most important thing in your life! Make yourself happy! 

Happy Monday, y'all.
