One hurdle down, two more to go
As far as I can tell I have 3 major hurdles this weekend. One, mix and bake cupcakes for my son’s b-day party. I don’t really care for cupcakes once they’re baked but I could eat an entire batch of batter. My hubby offered to mix them up for me if I was feeling too tempted but I can’t keep running away from food so I did it. Several times I was going to automatically lick the spoon or even take a huge bite but I stopped myself. I know that 1 bite would have been ok but I also know it wouldn’t have stopped at one bite.
The next 2 challenges come tomorrow. We’re frosting them in the morning and then there’s his party in the afternoon. Like I said, I don’t really even like cupcakes all that much but I need to stay strong and not eat just b/c of the social situation.
My weigh-in this morning really helped, 232.0!!! One more pound and I will have lost 20% of my original weight and I’m so near my first mini goal of being out of the 230’s by my son’s birthday on Wednesday. I killed myself at the gym tonight (60 minutes treadclimber, 15 minutes elliptical and 20 minutes lifting lower body) and have stuck w/healthy foods tonight. I so want to see 231 on Sunday morning for my official weigh-in.
Days on plan this month: 10
Progress toward workout goal: 196/250
No, no! 250 is enough for me. Geez!
Good luck with the cupcakes. You are a better woman than I. I seriously have an addiction to sweets. We went shopping today and as we were leaving the store the girl scouts were bunkered down and waiting to pounce. Thank GAWD I had no cash or I would have to write about the box of tagalongs I just ate. No control.
Happy Birthday to your lil man! Enjoy the day =]
Oh, I love frosting and batter. Not cupcakes, I agree. I could eat a whole bowl of frosting, swear to god.
I had a hard time with my son’s b-day on Weds. He wanted chocolate cheesecake, so I got one from The Cheesecake Factory. I resisted, but the automatic response of finger licking nearly happened several times. I didn’t, because the resulting craves for hours don’t do me any good. Sent the cake home with friends, since the son didn’t care (he gets whatever treats he wants whenever, so he doesn’t get very attached to them).
Additionally, he wanted to go to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. My deal is the awesome salsa. I could drink that stuff! I made carrot chips, snuck them in and ate my salsa that way. Just as good.
Awesome, awesome and awesome weigh in. Look at you! Nice workout too, goodness.
