Unhappiness.

I'm very frustrated with myself today.

I almost didn't want to post my results, but the only way to move forward and learn from your mistakes is to accept them.

I was doing so well last week. I've been on point with my workouts, and I was really sticking to my nutrition plan.

Then I got a craving. And I gave in to it. For like... 4 days in a row. Terrible! If I had just held off on the craving to begin with, it would have passed and I wouldn't have succumb to it the next few days!! Bread and cheese, you are my nemesis.

And I'm mostly mad at myself because in giving into my cravings, I undid all of the hard work that I put in earlier in the week.

I really need to work harder on the weekends. I've been planning out my meals and what I'll have everyday, weekdays and weekends -- I'm just not sticking to it as well on the weekends.

I need to work on this and get it down.

In other news,

I was actually very active all weekend. I painted my bedroom on Saturday, which involved lots of cleaning and moving furniture, and then the actual painting part. It came out very nice. I then spent Sunday re-arranging the furniture in the room and putting on my new bedspread set. The nautical theme is coming along very nicely.

And if you're wondering how this affected my no-spend month, it didn't. This was pre-planned into my spending budget as I had intended paint the bedroom over a month ago, and the bedspread was bought over the summer. Way to go me on the planning front.

Speaking of the no-spend...

it's actually going very well. While I was strapped for money to begin with and I'm still incapable of having enough money to actually save much (thanks a lot years of debt racking up), I am finding that I'm able to stick to my budget more effectively this way. This is huge for me, because it means that I'm not dipping into what little savings I have.



Time to refocus.
