Well I have been tucked away for a while, but it is time to get back to blogging.
I have been successfully sticking to my diet for 6 weeks. I am down just about 15 lbs. Man am I so glad to see them pounds go. I will never see those again.
So What have you missed... Well my constant dodging of cookies, candy, and sweet carbs during this holiday season has been a bit entertaining. Is it really necessary to have so many treats just because it is the holidays? I mean really. Anywhere I go, I am tormented. All of the sweets are screaming at me to eat them. I didn't realize that the word 'holiday' was Greek for 'get fat'. I am totally making that up, but come on, every party you go too is deliciously catered with cheesy, bready, and high calorie treats torturing anyone that is attempting to lose weight.
I keep thinking that something will finally give and the party invites will end, but it appears the next two weeks will be just as difficult to get through as the last 4. Like today, today I had to be in Houston for a work training. I know that traveling in any form is not easy while having to make good eating decisions, but it makes it worse when we show up to the training and there are donuts, coffee cake, and sodas to get our brains moving. I was doing fine until about 10:00am, the five minute break starts and it appeared that everyone in the training grabbed one of those delicious, sticky, sweet glazed donuts. I know I was daydreaming, in my head...all the directors were singing 'I want candy' and licking the glaze off those damn donuts. I could hear them all saying... 'Oh..so sweet.' or 'yum, I might have more than one'. Thankfully it was just a daydream, only a few of the ladies were taunting me with the sweetness..bitches (Kidding Jen and Julie!) I feel pretty good about my day of travels, I admit I had a handful or two of gummy bears on the road trip back, but only in an attempt to settle my stomach that was twisting from the Chipotle salad I had at lunch. I think it might have been too rich for me. I feel better after a cup of cleansing tea and my own bed... off to dream of sugarplums and gumdrops... I mean protein bars and water. I still have lots to go, but I am determined to finish really strong. I have 10 weeks to go, and by then I will be 50 pounds lighter. Just wait for the whole new me...
