Thursday, Oct 28 2010 - I have survived the pitfalls at work this week...

View HALE612's food & exercise for this day

So I have survived the beginning of the holiday food obstacles at work this week, Halloween week or Fall Festival.

On the agenda here this week was:
Tuesday – chili cheese nachos
Wednesday – donuts and coffee
Thursday – grilled hot dogs with all the fixin’ and candy for the little ones

I’ll admit that on Tuesday I failed the test. I was unprepared and let those chili cheese nachos win!!! But the rest of the week I was GOOD!!! I set-up for the donuts and coffee, asked someone else to pick-up the donuts, and had several people volunteer to run the selling of said donuts so I didn’t have to enter the room until the last donut was being sold. I had my breakfast before I went to work that day and had my snack a little early so I would be less tempted to eat a donut or 6!!!

Today was a little harder. I had to run the sale. So I’m sitting in the main break room selling hot dogs straight from the grill, watching people apply their favorite toppings, and then sit down to consume them. All the while I’m standing in front of no less than 50ish hot dogs ready for me…I could have EASILY consumed 5 of them like I was the winner of a eating contest…no liquids, no toppings, just shove them in. But I refrain from eating any but I was white knuckling it the whole time…in the end I gave 20 or so away just because I didn’t want to have to worry about the starving kids of the world.

The CANDY was crazy here today. And there are bowls full still lying around!!! I’ve had none…and now it’s off to the gym for a good work-out. I have another challenge with weekend as I’m going out of town to see my family for a couple of days. I have a plan and I’m taking some of my own food. And I’m going to keep telling myself that I have to weigh-in on Monday to keep me on the straight and narrow.

Challenges are good because they are real and they keep me motivated. Here’s to a great week and an even better weekend.
