No more cookie dough March 14, 2007

Filed under: need motivation — jenplck @ 1:11 am

Alright. It’s time to get serious. I mean, I have been trying. Sort of. But it’s almost three weeks into the Challenge, and I have to admit that I have some gaping holes in my exercise and food logs. And by holes, I mean days where I frankly did not want what I ate to be logged in another place besides my stomach. Let’s just say I paid the work vending machine one too many visits. On several occasions, I may or may not have hidden a Twix bar underneath a napkin as I walked through SELF’s hallways and back to my desk. Of the places not to be seen eating candy bars, SELF magazine ranks high on the list. (Although, we do seem to have a steady stream of chocolate coming in, and sometimes it’s not the dark kind!) To be fair, it’s been a rough couple of weeks. There was a breakup, a bout of the flu, and a new apartment search to reckon with. However, the excuses stop here. Well, right after this bite. I’m sitting here in my apartment, eating cookie dough. I mean really. Like I said, it’s time to get serious. And it all starts tomorrow morning with a pre-work visit to the gym. Oh yea, we’re starting off big time…dragging myself out of bed early morning is, let’s just say, a Challenge.

    Ha Ha! Loved your post – I, too, have my moments where I feel like hiding my candy (or chips, or whatever). I just started the Challenge this week, and although I’ve been ok, I have cracked every evening – downing a whole bag of microwave popcorn one night, then grabbing a Mounds bar at the gas station (although I only ate one of the bars). I must say that I am very impulsive. I really need to stop and THINK before about every morsel of food. I hope you are doing well with your Challenge.
