An Unwelcome Guest

So how about that Glee finale eh? Do Journey songs make any one else cry? If I were Lea Michelle I would sing all day long just so I could hear myself.

This week has been right on track so far. I've stayed within my calorie limits, drank at least 120 oz of water, and I've kept with my 45 minute cardio promise. Working out with Matt has helped a lot! Last night was a struggle for me at the gym and I'm sure I would have somehow rationalized jumping off the machine at around 30 minutes but Matt was there pushing me and reminding me of his goals. Go him! (PS...last week he lost close to 20 lbs. I have a strange mixture of pride and jealousy.)

This morning I was greeted in my office with this:

Several months ago a co-worker came around with a fundraiser for his daughter's school. I didn't want cookies but I feel good about supporting schools and I knew Matt would enjoy a few. I had forgotten about this until they showed up, unwelcome, on my desk.

I have a game plan though. The dough is already pre-portioned into balls and I have nutrition information. Since I can't eat frozen cookie dough...these are going straight into the freezer. If I want one I'll have to wait for it to defrost so I'll know if I really want it or if I'm just eating it because it is there. Or there is always plan B: Give it to my brother and sister in law in an effort to assist our win of the biggest loser. :)

How are you doing on your goals so far this week? Any obstacles pop up in your way of succeeding?

OR...you could throw your unwelcomed guest in the garbage can and not tempt anyone... You supported the school and that is what you wanted to do. So you dont need it. I guess i"m not afraid of wasting food though....
Good job at staying on track...I've failed...majorly! but I wont go into details. Its messy

Congratulations on sticking to your workout goals! My boyfriend has also been a great support for me and when I feel like giving up he reminds me that we are doing this to stay healthy.
About the cookies...I think one cookie once in a while doesn't hurt anything but tempting the competition never hurts either.

Bravo to you for staying op this week! You are truly blessed to have such a supportive partner! And wow! 20 lbs!?! I can certainly see why you would be jealous and prideful at the same time! lol Way to go Matt!!!

Talk about self-control! You go girl! I would definitely have to give that box of cookie dough away, because trust me, I would find a way to eat that sucker frozen! lol

Seriously we must share the same soul! No one else seems to love Glee, Gaga and KP with me except you... yay!

Argh! I hate when I forget about something such as cookies I ordered and they show up... makes me feel like it's a sign that I need to eat some...LOL! Stupid right! If you feel like you'll be tempted get them out of your house... or only keep a couple of them.

This morning I weighed myself and was up three pounds. I almost fell over right then and there! Not thrilled at all. My body currently hates me or aunt flo is about to visit. Either way I am sick of why weight being three pounds up, but never losing any! I might have a mental breakdown because of this.

xo have a fab day

Hello World.

That is usually the title of the first blog post you get when you start a new WordPress blog. I feel like it is  appropriate for this post because I feel like this is [going to be] a whole new blog. While I'm still the same person with the same history, I'm completely different. Having a child has flipped my life on its head and I'm better for it, but different none the less. My motivation for being healthy has changed. My goals are different. My free time is VERY limited. Deep down, I'm a blogger. Writing has always helped me to see things a bit more clearly. Instead of looking at my time on this site as something I *have* to do, I plan to use it as something to help me turn into the person I want to. I saw a tweet the other day that said "Think of the person you want your children to become, now be that person." I wish I could remember who said it so I could give them credit. If it was you, let me know.  I've started eating healthier, ...

Freezing Cold

Image
Alright peeps, I'm here for your help. I usually a very cold person and I'm not talking about my personality. What I mean, is that even if a room is at 70 degrees, I'm still chilled. My toes and fingers get the worst of it. Matt learned this quickly about me and he also noticed that when I'm cold I'm not a very pleasant person. My Christmas gifts last year included a snuggie, an personal space heater, and a down blanket. I guess he likes his woman happy! Anyway, my latest problem is that after I work out and come back to my apartment to cool down I get really cold. Like teeth-chattering, body shivering-ly cold. I'm not quite sure why this is but I don't like it. Any recommendations?? Does this happen to any of you?

I'm SO Blessed

I've recently started to notice something very special about my journey. I have SO much support. I've always had that support. Even though Matt hasn't always been on board with the diet, he was always willing to eat where I felt comfortable. He put up with my low calorie dinners and was a sport when I'd leave him each night to go to the gym. But I haven't had just Matt. I've had many, many more supporters. My Mother in law started her weight loss journey last August and she was a driving force in me deciding to change my ways. I saw how it was possible for her to lose the weight and for some reason it just clicked that if I really committed and did what I knew I should do, I could do it too. My sister, ShaReece, started weight watchers at the first of this year and has since lost 50 plus pounds. She's great to talk to about her struggles because we come from the same background, eating the same foods, and participating in the same activities. She gets where ...
