The more things change the more things stay the same

Friday night I was so pumped, my first day back at the gym for about a week and I felt great. Yesterday work was pretty good and against my better knowledge I decided to treat myself to McDonalds. Okay, maybe, or Mum just convinced me to go and I agreed.

Didn't go too badly at first, having a McChicken burger (400 cals) and a drink (200 cals)... but then the "peer pressure" (can you call your mother a peer?) came along when it came to dessert. We'd both have a McFlurry. When I ordered we were told that Mum's flavour wasn't working (Bubblegum) so she decided to just have a soft serve cone. I should have done the same! But no, I had to have the McFlurry and complete regret it.

So I went to the gym again and I was really glad nobody was there. When I first got there the cleaners were finishing up, but from then I was alone the whole time. Good. Exactly how I like it. But I just couldn't get into it. I stayed there for 2 hours but I just couldn't get a good rhythm going and I didn't feel good. I'm glad I went, but I'm thinking the sugar earlier just zapped my energy.

Back on the scales this morning and it was exactly the same. 106.0 (kgs). Logically, I know this is good. I binged at McDonalds and I didn't put on. But after 4 hours in the gym over 2 days you want to see something. Then this voice tells me "you can't expect results overnight" but I still am disappointed. I really need to learn some perspective.

Anyway, tonight is the first football (AFL) game of the year. Even though its just the preseason game I'm pretty excited. I live and breathe footy and I'm sad when there are no games. I'm so ready to get involved again this year. Bring it on!
