Balance (or "Goals, Revisited")

Sigh. Okay, so this week got away from me. I worked out sooo much this weekend and neglected going out, thinking I was doing the "right thing". Instead I ran myself down, and didn't get a lot of sleep Sunday night but pushed myself all day Monday, regardless. Then Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights I didn't sleep. Monday night I ALSO vowed to wake up and green smoothie fast with no greens in the house. Doh!

Apparently I was so busy making smoothies for everybody else, I didn't factor myself into the game. What I was doing was working, but I decided to up the ante, and as a result ate some fried food Monday night. That was the beginning of the insomnia and worse, and here I am 72 hours later feeling awful and having not trained at all all week (although today was a visa run to Burma for 12 hours, so I didn't have a choice).

Fortunately, it's a lesson learned, and while I FEEL awful I certainly know I didn't reverse the progress I have made. As well, Gemma is a new girl here who has been reading my blog and is interested in detoxing. She totally rocks and knew who I was when I, all tired, introduced myself and welcomed her. She is here for three weeks and said she'd green smoothie fast as well, just from our short conversation. I'm going to start making them and stocking them in the muay thai bar, just collecting my money at the end of the day or so, so it's easier on me and my customers. I'm just PUMPED to get focused again.

Every time I stray off the path it is more experience and a lesson learned. I simply cannot eat like other people can and get away with it, it's like I'm allergic. I know it's a blessing in disguise, but GEEZE! Starting tomorrow, I have 2 weeks until Halloween. I plan on green smoothie fasting, doing my muay thai training (of course! I miss it a lot!) and upping the abs and weight lifting with Lindsey, doing some personal training. I CAN'T WAIT! I know I can still reach my goals, and am excited to do so and to make the way I've felt the last three days a thing of the past, honestly! I can wait until Halloween to party, especially when you're partying in Patong so it's like exponential, LOL!

Life is good, overall, and always slightly (to majorly, lol) humbling. I've got to watch myself like a hawk, it's just how I have to be. I just want to be in balance again and know that green smoothie fasting will get me there, now that I'm getting organized with it (almost every day it's someone new who wants them; keeping up has been a bit tricky - not that I'm complaining!)

Here's to a productive weekend!

Cheers!
