The Day I Ate a Cupcake and Decided to do a Fitness Competition..

I thought today I would attempt to be clever with my title, but it is a true statement.  I was attempting to wait to write a new blog post until I had the opportunity to put new pics up, but this was just too good of a story, so I couldn't wait.  Now let me be really clear, I have no intention of doing a fitness competition any time soon ha, I have just decided that when I do get to my goal weight, I will start training for one.  I know this is a ton of hard work, but I am super excited about it!  I can't wait for you guys to continue to follow me on that journey! 

Now for the cupcake... I am down 13 pounds so far, so I celebrated on Saturday with a "cheat meal" on before the ASU vs. USC game (which we dominated! Go Devils!) with an in n out burger.  No cheese, and split the fries with my mom.  I was not feeling guilty at all about my "cheat meal" because I believe occasionally you need to have those!  So Sunday was my cousins 16th birthday celebration.  I ate fine all day, and planned to get 2 small plates at Olive Garden that Evening.  I had a couple ounces of chicken breast at Olive Garden with some asparagus.  Then we got to her house.. and they had GINORMOUS beautiful raspberry filled cupcakes.  I had already made the decision that I wasn't going to have any cake.. but a CUPCAKE was a totally different story.  Needless to say I ate it, and felt sick after and still feel sick today.. SO NOT WORTH IT!! I wasn't feeling guilty after the In-N-Out but I am feeling super guilty about the cupcake... Looks like a couple extra miles of running for me this week. 

I did weigh myself this morning.. I didn't lose any BUT I didn't gain any either so I suppose its a wash, but it is upsetting to not lose anything.  I really need to step up my fitness this week.. 

On Tuesday (tomorrow) I am starting a 45 day challenge at Pure Barre... 45 days 45 classes... WTF was I thinking when I put my name on the list!?! Also, I am  having major anxiety over the fact that the Vegas Half is in 45 days... UMMM HELP! I can run a little over 3 miles, if you aren't familiar with a Half, its 13.1! Awesome.. 10 more miles and I'm good...AHHHH!! Time to bump up the running, and Pure Barre will definitely help with the strength side of it, so hopefully by some sort of miracle, I will be ready come November 17th.

I have a couple of side notes, I have an interview this week with Lululemon to become a part time educator, so that should be awesome, work some extra for the Christmas season.  Wish me luck! Another side note, I have discoverd this meal prep carry bag, the Six Pack Bag, has anyone every used these? I would love to hear some reviews? Below is a picture of them:

 Hope everyone has a great week, and I promise to put updated pictures up soon!
