Holeeeeee
Crap.
This whole being sick for 4 days?
I mean….
Not cool.
What’s really not fair, is that after 30 days of eating cleaner than I ever have…
all it took was being sick to bring me right back to old habits.
I was telling a friend today that I never get the kind of sick where food doesn’t sound good.
Oh no!
I get the kind of sick where I feel that I absolutely MUST be about to die, therefore I should be granted a last meal for every meal until death occurs.
Only death never occurs, and instead I’m granted a few extra lb’s and a fair bit of regret.
{yes, I AM a middle child…what made you ask?}
At some point in my fever, I came up with a BRILLIANT idea that if I made the cleanse foods and had them all in my fridge, I might be apt to eat those instead for 2-3 days thus reversing any damaging effects of my last few indulging days….
Except that with my fever gone today, waking up to a fridge full of 4 oz bland foods, I found myself questioning how genius I really am.
I made it through the day, until I decided that huh…
sniff sniff…
….yup!
I was definitely still stuffed up, still had possibilities of dying…
and so how could I possibly deny a dying girl some extra chocolate chips?!?
Well I wouldn’t.
I couldn’t.
So after I licked up the 4 oz of pudding, I opened the bag of chocolate chips and went to town.
{my “town” was, at present time of writing, 2 small handfuls. so not that bad…}
Where oh where are those lessons I learned now?
I guess the good thing about being sick at the end of the boot camp, is all the sleep I have been enjoying.
This must be what retirement will be like.
{If retirement, you know, included a 2 and a 5 year old waking you up at 5 in the morning every day.}
But, I’ve been making up for the early mornings with a nap every afternoon,
and a party with NyQuil every night.
{note to self: do not text after NyQuil. you are the only one who thinks you’re funny at that time.}
I live like a rock star.
I will tell you, for those of you who thought “i can’t believe she put a picture of a size 2 on here!”
Well, the moment I ate pizza?
{like it was just the pizza…DE-NI-AL.}
Not so much a size 2 anymore.
Feel better, now?
I know I do!
Who wants to try to keep up with a size 2 anyway???
{not me, not me, not me, not me….the more i say it, the more it’s true, right?}
This is where I need to take my own advice, and grant myself a little grace, know that I don’t have to be perfect….
And,
say it with me,
embrace the process.
But at least I’m back from the dead people!
I’m alive and I’m ready to perform again.
Tomorrow is a new day.
And tomorrow…
it.
is.
on!
Right after one more handful of chocolate chips.
And then again right after Saturday night when we have friends over for our Pizza/Just Dance party.
And then again right after…
Wait, isn’t it Super Bowl Sunday?
So after that…again…
and then….
Wait, isn’t it Super Bowl Sunday?
So after that…again…
and then….
Like I said, who wants to be a size 2 anyway?

You totally deserve some indulgence after your amazing 30 days of totally clean AND being sick. Don’t worry–you’ll find middle ground eventually!
I think everyone has to find a balance with eating right, splurging every now and then and working out as well. That’s what I’m trying to do right now and its really difficult.
I’ve totally been packing them on again try as I might not to… Feel your pain 🙁
Cute blog, girlie, I’m visiting over from 6th Street…I actually saw your header on qa designs (i think?) and thought it was rad…glad to know the blog is, too! I wish I could say I’m super dedicated to being healthy/thin…but that would be a big *FAT* lie! (c: Keep your chin up, I haven’t fit into a size 2 since high school, and believe me friend, that was a loooong time ago! (c;
Summer too funny, except for the sick part!
Loved seeing your home over at Kirstens! Lots of great eye candy!
