Falling off the wagon

To my regular readers, I’d like to apologise for the gap between postings. Truth be told, I’ve been too ashamed to post. Not only have I fallen off the wagon this week, but the wagon has then backed up and reversed over me a number of times. Basically, I’ve been baaaaaad.

I’ve barely had a PN-compliant meal all week. I haven’t wanted to work out. So far, I’ve only managed one turbulence training weights workout and about half an hour of standing pilates on the day I was teaching. No cardio. Nothing. I really don’t know what’s gotten in to me. I’ve been a bit down and I really just couldn’t be bothered.

But I figured I’d have to post on this blog at some point. The whole reason for writing it and putting those awful pictures of me up for all to see was to keep me accountable. So feel free to kick my ample ass and get me back in line.
