So how bad is bad? The Superbowl

So yeah. The party was bad.

So here was the plan. Go to the supermarket and buy food I like that I normally do not buy and treat myself to some healthier options. I made a grilled tuna steak and a nice fruit salad. When I was cooking the party food, I chewed gum. I found a brand that has a flavor such that I cannot stand eating food after I chew it for awhile.

So for the first half I was good. The problem came in at halftime when I started to clean. I started to pick. We had all kinds of goodies -bacon wrapped water chestnuts, honey roasted nuts, chili dip, garlic ranch dip, 2 kinds of brownies, chips, cookies, sausage and the list goes on......

So not only did I succumb, I did it AFTER I spent extra money on me.

I pretty much a few bites of everything.

So my solution was almost as bad as the problem itself. After the Superbowl, I drug myself to the gym and told myself I was not stopping until the elliptical machine said I burned 1500 calories. So yeah, you can guess I was there for awhile. (2 hours and 11 min. to be precise) Oh yes, it gets better! Not only is it 2:30 AM at this point and I have to work in 5 hours, but I also had a full blown asthma attack. I didn't go to bed until my husband woke up for work and he put me to bed. On top of that, I made myself go to work and my legs are now super sore. I was stretching in front of the TV for the last hour and I am not sure I should go back on the elliptical tonight. I might go walk awhile on the treadmill and not overdo it.

A side note, after I was done with 2 hours on the elliptical machine I felt like I could still go which means I probably should start playing with the setting. The one I get on is the Precor EFX I usually do a 10 incline and a 10 resistance. The max for both is 20; however, I do change the incline to work different parts of my legs so my theighs get overly meaty.
