Breaks. Bleh.

My routine has been disrupted by the onset of a fever.

Normally, I would have egg whites and oatmeal for breakfast, a protein shake 2 hours later, and lunch around 11:30.

TODAY, all I can really eat is canned soup. It is 11:30, and I just want to sleep all day.

But I'm supposed to do the 30-day shred, followed by a trip to the gym to do my legs circuit.

In the past, I have been the QUEEN of inventing reasons why I "can't" work out or eat healthy. Like, "It's a holiday. It's my birthday. I'm sad. I'm lonely. I deserve it. Class stresses me out. Etc."

Today, I am learning a lesson on when to actually give myself a break and not feel guilty for it. I tend to obsess and do things a bit over-the-top.

So, although you will NOT see a Papa John's delivery car out front anytime today, the protein and veggies routine is getting a little bit of a break, and I'm going to spend my gym hour lying flat on my back with a good book and a temperamental kitten named Mouse.

I just wish this break was more fun.
