Day 2: Confession & Restitution

Forgive me, for I have sinned. I let the temptation of the leftover birthday cake staring me in the face in the break room get the better of me this afternoon. I knew better. I knew it would be there, and I told myself that I wouldn't have any, no matter how much it beckoned me; no matter how fudgy and delicious the frosting looked, or how much I knew I would wish I didn't if I let myself have some... It didn't work. I ate a piece anyway. It was moist, fudgy, and delicious. Now, I'm trying not to beat myself up about it too much. I know one slip-up isn't going to completely undo all my efforts! But if I couldn't say no this time, what about the next temptation? Or the next one? Okay, I can't worry myself like this so much, it's not going to help anything! Focus on the positive... For what it's worth, I didn't have any of the cheesecake, donuts, or cookies that were also in the break room today (I know, my work is pure evil)! I can do this, it may be hard sometimes, but if I can cut out the junk food for just 90 days, maybe it'll be easier to not overdo it later on... right?
Well, anyway, after work I immediately changed and started my Day 2 workout. Cardio X. This one has a little bit of everything. Some yoga to warm up, some kenpo, plyometrics, and core. Wait, more core?! I just did that yesterday!! *sigh* Oh well. I get started with the workout, and I'm lovin' the yoga warm up! I used to take yoga classes all the time, so it doesn't surprise me when the sweat comes almost immediately. We do some sun salutations, and three different warrior poses, all connected with a vinyasa to keep me moving, sweating, and breathing hard (I know! In yoga, right?) Next we do some kenpo. It's pretty fun, but I'm a bit clumsy with it, especially doing the punches and kicks on my left side. My right side is definitely my better side. Then the plyometrics... wow. We only do five exercises, but we repeat them, and man, those five moves are enough (the wacky jacks are my favorite)! I'm struggling to catch my breath after the plyo routine and Tony announces it's time for core again... grrr... That's okay, I can do it! Burn off the cake! You can do it! I make it through all of it, I even do better at most of the moves, even that darn Dreya roll thing! By the end, I was grunting, and groaning and yelling (which I think helped somehow). The sweat was pouring, and it felt swell! "Good work everybody" Tony said, and I felt like he meant it. I'm actually looking forward to my workout tomorrow! Is that weird?....
