Confessions of a Dieter

Workout of the week: Recently I hiked up to Camp Hydaway. I love nature!

If you have been following my posts the past couple weeks you know that I have been doing a workout challenge with the weekend mom. Unfortunately, I am forced to take a break! :( I fractured my spine several years a go while I was working as a gymnastics coach. Since then, I have had a lot of problems with back pain, sciatica, and scoliosis (I did not have it until after my injury. I assume I was left with a curvature, because I did not stop moving like I was suppose to). This injury seems to be revisiting me this week after a fall (literally tripping over my own feet in the computer lab. Embarrassing! :'( ) Anyway, the pain is very severe. It is painful to even get out of bed. Not even my true back or my back brace seem to be helping much. So, no work outs right now. But I am still doing the rest of the challenge with my dorm. This week we cut out whites (bread, rice, and any other white carbs) in addition to sweets and soda. I must confess, I took a break from my diet yesterday. I have ate nothing but salads, sandwiches, and fruit for ten days, but yesterday I had sausage for breakfast and then went to bloop for frozen yogurt last night. I had my final presentation for one of my courses, yesterday, and I succumbed to stress eating! I am not proud of it, but yet at the same time I do not feel too guilty. Every one needs to enjoy themselves occasionally. Well, I am back to my diet, today. Going to get me some oatmeal for breakfast! I confess that I can't help wishing it was oatmeal cookies, instead!
