You can always tell when the holidays are here. Those people can't seem to make it to the gym every other day of the year and are too busy shopping before Christmas. But today, the old guilt set in. I went to Body Pump, like I always do at lunch on Monday. It was full and I was turned away. I couldn't believe it. I'm a regular for God sake! Do they know who I am? Those people have no right to show up and take my space! My entire week was thrown off track! I mean really, I had last week off and still make it there for Body Pump three times! Doesn't that earn me a spot?
I fumed for a while and then drove home and changed and went for a run outside. After all, it was really nice out and I could be months before I can do that again without slipping on deadly ice and knocking myself out. I will hold this against the Body Pump instructor for a long time though. I don't care how hot he looked in his crushed velvet Santa shorts last week!
I've been on the "Detox Diet" since Christmas. I figured the week between Christmas and New Years presented an opportunity. I could keep from ending the holiday season with a weight gain. I caved tonight just a little. You see, I'm having a colonoscopy Wednesday and will have to go nearly two days without solid food. I decided to splurge on some wine and some wholegrain toast with peanut butter. OK. It was a little splurge. It's been bran cereal, fruit, veggies, hummus, and brown rice for three days! I've really been so good and missing BP today really sucks! I can't make it again until Sat. if then.
OK, the colonoscopy. Normally they don't recommend till age 50, but my maternal grandmother died in her 40's of colon cancer so I wanted to be proactive. You should all take care to be preventive as well. Trust me, no one wants to do this, but it could save your life. I've got way too much living left to do and too much to leave behind.
