Fat Wednesday

Fatty fat Wednesday.. and possibly Tuesday night.

I blame my husband. Its partly his fault. Last night he decided he wanted cake. So he made one. And made me eat a piece last night. Dont get me wrong, I didn't really say no or deny the cake, so it is partly my fault. But its also his fault for making it.

So I told him this morning I was bringing it to work because I couldn't handle it being in the house. Everyone at work would eat it up. And they have been.. I just wished they were eating it quicker so it was gone.

Then lunch came. I was doing great. I had half a chicken breast, 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes and veggies. And then.. the craving came. I wanted something sweet. Something sweet like cake. And I couldn't just stick with a small piece of one. Oh no - I had to have a piece of both (there's left over cake from my coworkers baby shower). And I admit that as Im typing this, Im eating it. But its sooo good. I can have my cake and eat it too right?

I also confess that I didnt get up for spin class this morning. My energy just wasn't there. Where did it go? I've been so pumped but going into this second week I seem more tired. Im still overly motivated to lose this weight and feeling great, but I can't get up these past few morning to go workout. Ugh.

On a happier note, Im currently wearing a pair of pants that I wasn't able to a few months ago. Now mind you, by "wearing" them I mean I am able to button them. They're not overly comfortable to wear and Im pretty sure part of it is cutting off air to my organs, but they're still buttoned! Before I could barely zip them. This helps me realize that what Im doing isn't a total failure and that this little hurdle will pass.

I have also decided not to weigh myself but to go by how my clothes feel (case in point - being able to zip up my pants!). I know I will be discouraged if I go by the scale, but will feel accomplished by the way my clothes fit.

Im proud of myself that tomorrow is the 2 week mark since I've started the journey. I can't wait to see what I look like at the 2 month mark!

  1. I'm sorry, but I laughed throughout this WHOLE post! I am planning to make a cake on Saturday, and throw half of it out (if not more) unless someone miraculously takes it off of my hands. It's "ooey gooey butter cake," and I've been thinking about it alll week. So, I just might have a comical post like this one come Monday : )
