Scare-off Challenge - day 5
Weight: 158.2
What happened to day 4? Eh, we don’t need no stinkin’ day 4!!!
Yesterday was good back on track, mostly. My mom brought one of those Costco size boxes of Wheat Thins into her office. That stuff is like crack! Everytime I walked into her office, I grabbed a handful without even realizing it. It was reflexive. My sister was at work yesterday and I noticed everytime she walked into mom’s office, she’d reflexively grab a handful. Is it genetic? But then, so did my brother-in-law! Has anyone done a lab study of Wheat Thin’s ingredients???!! What the hell is in those things?!
After the third handful, I went to Safeway and got some pita chips and hummus. Sure, they’re just gloried chips and dip. BUT, I was making a conscious choice to eat something healthy instead of an unconscious reflex to eat those tiny squares of EVIL!! And I didn’t even eat the whole bag (it was a small, snack size bag) or all the hummus - which is a first!! I ate a little more than half and put them both away. Hurrah! AND I didn’t have any more Wheat Thins after that either. I was done and it wasn’t a problem after that! Thumbs up for conscious eating!!
Other than that, yesterday I had several clementines, sushi for lunch (and a little TMI - I haven’t had sushi in like a month cause it’s fairly expensive. Well, it kept… uh… repeating on me last night! Ewwwww!!! It might be a while before I have sushi again! And I LOVE that shit!!!)
Then I came home and made Pumpkin cookies! My friend posted a regular recipe found HERE and I was inspired to make a GFCF version found HERE. And oh man, are they delicious!!! This is my favorite time of year to bake! I could easily spend all day and night in the kitchen baking baking baking!!! Zucchini bread and apple pies and all sorts of cookies… have I mentioned that carbs are my achilles heel??!!
Exercise…. yeah, I don’t wanna talk about that just yet! I know I need to get it back on track. I’m getting there. My knee is just frustrating me. I need to step up the cross training. That’s where it stands.

Sorry about your knee. OMG I LOVE pumpkin cookies! I love pumpkin anything…
Thanks for the great recipe. I will have to try that. I’ve been lacking my exercise routine as well. I missed my 5 plus mile walk yesterday. It’s been really windy here and the wind I’m afraid is to blame for the core throat and cough. I’m going to do something today, though. I’m feeling less “foggy”. Must be the sudafed. Keep hanging in there. We all need to learn to adjust our eating habits when our bodies can’t work out for us!

LOW FAT WHEAT THINS
16 is only 130 calories! Eat those with some Laughing Cow light onion cream cheese, a handful of whole almonds, and you have about the healthiest breakfast out there!
Hehehe.. the “tiny squares of evil” made me laugh. Pumpkin cookies sound yummmmmmmy….
I love low fat wheat thins- but yeah you can get carried away- they also have high fiber ones too
I want pumpkin cookies now *cry*
