I have survived the pitfalls at work this week...

Thursday, October 28th 2010

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 some...

Why I hate charity...

Cheese Nachos with Chili

I have forsaken many minutes, hours, and days of working out for a bowl of cheese nachos with chili on top. Well, at very least, I can say that I did it all for charity. But really I did it because I was ill-prepared for my day. It was easy, cheap, and available…which is how I’ve eaten for so long. But now I’m back on the plan…one bad meal isn’t going to ruin my whole day.

So tonight I’ll hit the gym with renewed gusto to work-off that bowl of na...

Monday, Monday

Monday, October 25th 2010

Well today is my weight-in day. Lost another 5lbs. YEA!!! I had a great weekend. I had to work which would generally be cause for failure but not this time. So I'm headed into another good week.

Great weekend...

Sunday, October 24th 2010

Friday night went out with a friend. I had pre-set my limit on the drinking at 3 beers. I went over it slightly by one jagerbomb and 1 beer. But at my 4th and final beer I said no more and stopped. I feel really good about that. Normally when I'm having a good time having a few extra beers or drinks to make it a better time is okay with me. But I didn't want to sabotage all my hard work this past week by drinking. YEA ME!!!

Saturday I got up and went to workout just like it was somet...

8 days sober from potato chips...

Friday, October 22nd 2010

So on Oct 13th of 2010 while making myself a turkey sammy I picked up the tube of Pringles whole wheat sour cream and onion chips which had a couple of servings left in there. Dumped the balance of the tube on my plate, sat down and savored every bite of those chips. Now on Oct 22nd I’m 8 days sober from chips. I don’t own any potato chips nor do I plan to buy anymore. Now this is huge for me since I was a bit of a connoisseur of all things white potato especially fried. I enjoyed them fr...
