So today at work, our supervisor got us milkshakes/slushies. I absolutely LOVE chocolate milkshakes and I love it especially when I don't have to pay. It took EVERYTHING within me to not join the rest of my co-workers (sans one who didn't want a brain freeze.) My "fat" self was trying to convince me that it would be okay since it is my birthday week and I should treat myself.

But the thing is I am going to be facing A LOT of temptation this weekend and I am having to work really hard to keep my calories in range and get in my hour and fifteen minute work out. I had already budgeted out my calories for the day and I knew that a milkshake would just kill the range.

I'm sitting her while everyone else is drinking one and I can just taste the chocolaty goodness BUT I'm resisting, drinking water and am proud that I "just said NO!"

Not major but I didn't give in to my "fat" self and talk myself into something that I would regret.

yay! good for you!

Way to go!

Awesome job!!!

and Happy Birthday!

thanks all!

Woo! Congrats! I am going to be honest.. I do not have that strength... Strawberry milkshkes = my kryptonite..... haha

Congrats again! go you!!

**looks at calorie loaded energy drink sitting on desk....**

I suddenly feel a very strong sense of conviction... Why must you tempt me so, cheap gas station on the way to work?? Why Why!?!

(that was my very dramatic way of saying that you have inspired me this morning... I love milkshakes too... they are just so yummy! but looking better than all your other coworkers will make it well worth it in the end. hehe... now I must convince myself to trash the rest of this energy drink..)

lavieboheme haha, that would be an evil motivation to look better than my co-workers....BUT it might be what I am going for JUST KIDDING!

btw, have you tried the lo-cal/lo-sugar energy drinks (Monster Low Carb, if I can remember) They are good. I personally don't like energy drinks but I like Monster Low Carb. I've realized so far on my journey, it isn't about restriction...it is about substitution. Find something that can take the place of what you love. (i.e. greek yogurt has replaced the best food in the world...sour cream :-D)

Who says motivation cant be evil... hee hee hee.

Also... is today your birthday? Just clicked on your profile accidentally when trying to reply and noticed that it said your bday was Oct 6th... if so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Yep! Thanks so much!!

Totally major!!! Yay for you!!
