Getting back on the K'Dash Track

I am so tired.
I am so, so tired.
I am so tired, I tried to wash my hair with shaving lather (don't ask).
I am so tired, I can't think straight enough to write an entry.
I am so tired, 9pm is late going to bed.

This week has NOT been a good week for the K'Dash experiment. I hate to make excuses but I am going to anyway - I worked double the amount of my usual hours, I was preparing for a garage sale, birthday party and overseas trip, my son has decided to up his feralness (not a word but I don't care), my husband is still away and for some reason, I didn't get paid what I thought I would so it has been a penny pinching week too (and yes, even worse than usual).

What have I done according to the Kardashian way? I have washed and moisturised my face morning & night. I have done the egg white facial twice this week. I have kept my nails polished and my hair tidy. I have left the house with make-up on EVERY SINGLE DAY. I have even exercised.
Yes, that's right -exercised. However I only manged the one day as for the next 3 days I could not move....well, my legs could not move. Let me explain.

When studying the Kardashian Clan thoroughly, as I did earlier in the experiment, I was made aware that Kim Kardashian had released her own exercise DVD called "Fit into your jeans by Friday". I went on Ebay and was happy to get one at half the recommended retail price and was excited to receive it on Monday. What evil Miss Kardashian did not point out was that although you may be able to fit into your jeans by Friday, there is no way in hell you will be able to move in them...at all.
The next day.
Or the next...let alone by Friday.

The morning after the workout I said to the girls that every now and then my leg muscles would "give way" and I felt that my legs were going to give from under me. The girls laughed and said to just do it again tomorrow and that my muscles would start to get used to it. Tomorrow? I didn't even make it to that night!
The next morning I had to roll myself out of bed and get around by support myself with whatever was handy - furniture, walls, my son etc. It hurt to even squat to go to the toilet. I was having trouble getting into the car, let alone attempt the DVD again. It will pass, the girls at work (who are I may tell you, are much younger AND much fitter than me) reassured me.
Thursday saw me considering hiring a wheel chair. I went to the movies and could not - I repeat COULD NOT walk down the stairs to get to the theatre. I had to almost hop, to the embarrassment of my friend. And to go the toilet, I had to slide myself down the wall and then manoeuvre myself towards the bowl.

It's Sunday and still my legs give way on me every now and then. They just go - and I look like a drunkard trying to stand up.
Not a good look.
Especially at 10 in the morning.
In church.

Needless to say I haven't attempted the DVD again. And I am not going to. I'm giving it to the girls at work tomorrow. At least they have been warned.

So the exercising hasn't been going well. Neither has the eating. When I am tired, I get stressed. And when I stress, I eat.
And eat.
And eat.
I will get back on the Kardashian horse and on the right track again.
If only because I am still walking like a jockey.

P.S Photo taken this morning - I think my skin is looking clearer and even though I haven't been getting much sleep, I think the darkness under my eyes is not as noticeable. What do you think?
