The first recorded downfall

So.... My One Month Challenge must begin anew today.  Sunday afternoon I fell prey to a hungry stomach, a pint of Pinkberry, and my own lack of willpower.  

Well, the story really begins on Saturday night... when I ate (this is going to sound ridiculous) 1.5 Oreos and one gummy shark.  Now, while this did ruin my "One Month Challenge" I felt like it was  huge triumph for my long term goals of being able to have a treat without falling off the deep end.  I was even super excited to blog about it to all of you!  

But then Sunday came along, and after attending a Soul Cycle class that morning (as a complete side note if you live in the New York area and have not been to Soul Cycle you have to try it.  It isn't cheap, but it is an incredible work out, I may have been on a bike the entire time but I came away with sore arms, abs and legs, plus a renewed sense of energy and excitement... it's life changing -- and you may run into Kelly Ripa.  AMAZING). So I went to Soul Cycle, then church, then passed up a dozen different kinds of cookies at the small reception after church and went home to defrost my chicken breast... and that is when it happened. I reached into the freezer to pull out the chicken and spotted a pint of forgotten Pinkberry frozen yogurt, I was starving at this point (amateur mistake, I should never let myself get that hungry) and decided that because I had worked out I "deserved" this Pinkberry.  Strangely I didn't think I deserved to keep my promise to myself, or to lose weight, but I deserved frozen yogurt.  

It only spiraled from there as I had Monday off work, and was blessed to spend that evening and the next day relaxing and watching movies with some of my favorite people.  While the company and the entertainment were superb, I took my slip up as a green light to spend the next day and half snacking on muffins, cookies, and various other treats.  

So... here is my confession, but today is a new day, and a new week, and I am picking myself up and getting back on the horse.  After confessing this story to one of my best friends this morning she said "how about we get back on board and pretend it never happened."  Which is exactly what I am doing, onward and upward (or downward in the case of the scale).
