The shrinking arse

Well, I lost 1.5 lbs this week, but I got a little carried away today.  The boss just HAD to bring in one of his wife’s famously delicious cakes - raspberry & chocolate, no less - and I just had to eat a piece (or two).  I’ve made a pact with myself not to use food as a reward, so me eating the cake was not a celebration of losing weight.  I’ve been on enough diets to know that’s a lose-lose kinda thang.  I ate it because I wanted it.  One of the greatest lessons you can learn when trying to eat healthier is this: If you really want something and deprive yourself of it for too long, chances are, you’ll overdose on it in the not-too-distant future.  So I ate the cake, but I didn’t OD on it.  I think I was within my WW points, but work was such a beyotch today, I didn’t have a chance to track my points.  I’ll do better tomorrow.

Another confession: I didn’t exercise this morning… but I have a good reason for that.  My DVR died!!  I think I might die with it!!  How will I live without my shows this week?!?  I guess now I have no choice but to learn to read… or exercise more.  Sigh.

I also didn’t meet my goal of eating 5 servings of fruits & veggies per day last week, but I have every intention of doing it this week… starting tomorrow.

So.  Tomorrow.  Wake up and do TJ Cardio Party.  Eat a healthy breakfast.  Snack on fruits & veggies instead of evil 100 calorie packs (yes, I’m still buying the damn things).  Take a salad and a serving of WW yankee pot roast to work for lunch.  Come home and watch… nothing… because I have no DVR.  Play on the computer until I get tired of it.  Read for a bit.  Go to bed.  Wake up and start all over again!

Yep.  I ate cake today, but I’m keeping my chin up, and I’m NOT giving up!
