A long challenging week

This has been a challenging week for me. On Monday I had my new employee orientation where they ordered greasy delicious pan pizza that I guilt-fully indulged in. To compound the situation I did not workout.

Tuesday was a co-workers birthday (someone who I actually talk to a bit) and a bunch of people went out for lunch. I felt awful but I really didn’t want to go. It would have prevented me from working out for a second day in a row and likely made me feel so terrible that I would have eaten like crap continually for the remainder of that day. Also they went to an amazing all you can eat Indian food place that has the most amazing desserts. I managed to not succumb to that temptation despite my friend expressing some disappointment. He got over it in a second, I however, wouldn’t have. It would have taken me two days and two hours on the elliptical trainer to get over it.

Then there was Valentines Day when my husband got me candy. I’ve only had one so far. Not too shabby considering it is that TOM for me and about the only time I might even care to have something chocolate and sweet. I’m a chips girl, remember? Specifically cheetos.

In total, I did very well, only caving with the pizza. I feel like I’ve already rectified that situation with my workouts since. Two guys at work have told me that I look like I’ve lost a lot of weight. I’m looking forward to my Monday weigh-in because I could potentially get out of the 160s. I’m so close! It’s like two points on a line where you’re moving closer to that number but actually there’s an infinite amount of space between you and it. Sometimes I feel like I might never get there.
