Time to cowgirl up..

Last week was a rough one. Between dealing with the death of someone I loved, work, and planning a baby shower, you could say that my anxiety levels were at an all time high..And I used the excuse that everyone uses and simply said "I do not have time to work out"...Which was true...ish. Not working out, high stress and anxiety led to comfort eating..I never realized I was a stress eater, but after putting on 3 lbs this past week and dang near eating fast food and junk every day..I can now say that yes, I am a stress eater...

Exhibit A

These would be the cupcakes I made for my sister's shower. I ate two...Not to mention the 7 layer dip, taquitos, and carrots with ranch..

Moral of the story...Time to cowgirl up. I grew up in the country and a lesson you learn early on is if you fall off the horse, you brush your butt off and get back on.. So I started working out again yesterday and grocery shopped for a healthier diet. I am sore...beyond sore. But I can't let something set me back and hold me back. And while the comfort food helped deal with the pain of my loss, it also caused the pain in my abs today as I struggled  through my Slim in 6 dvd this morning...And I will remember this soreness when it comes to watching my Sooners play this fall and not overeat during a stressful game lol..

And next month when my sweet new niece Sophia arrives I will help my sister get back into shape and keep her motivated =)

RIP Eddie Walker, I will never forget your smile and cheerfulness.
