DAY 29 - Cheeseburger In Paradise

Today we did Body Blast but Fred was nowhere to be found. The class was still good but it wasn't Fred good. Trust me when I say if your going to take an aerobics class you should take Fred's classes- available @ West County H& F. We did work hard today. It was actually fun at the end because we did squats but with dancing- I know it sounds weird but it was really awesome. I love to dance and really never get a chance to anymore. Heck, lets be honest- no one really wants to see a fat girl try to work it on the dance floor. Like I always tell my hubby - I can still drop it like its hot; I just can't pick it back up.....Ha Ha. But that should be changing over the next 6 months.

Today was hard. After church we ran to the grocery store (when we would usually be running out to eat somewhere) and of course I was hungry so all I really wanted was cookies, cupcakes, hamburgers and everything I could not possibly have. It was hard but I got my veggies & lean meat & got out. I had a delicious salad with this great 0 calorie, 0 carbs, 0 fat dressing that tasted like 1000 Island. Yum!!! (It was at Shnuck's if you were wondering. It was also gluten free. They have lots of flavors, but I can only recommend the 1k Island because I haven't had the others.)

Food has been a struggle as of late. I don't know why. But I am dying for a cheat meal. I am afraid I will go off the deep end and end up at a buffet somewhere stuffing my face.

For instance, yesterday, we went to a Birthday party and of course they had pizza and cupcakes. Don't worry they had salad too. Unfortunately it had cheese, croûtons, and fat dressing with it. So no fat salad for me. Instead Christina and I headed out and made big salads with great marinated chicken....yummy. Don't get me wrong it was no Pizza but I felt better not giving in to temptation.

Well, really keep me in your prayers. I thought for a little while there this was getting easier, but I have found I have hit a new phase and am struggling again. I guess it will go in waves the full 6 months.

HIGH POINT: Having a great workout and feeling everything burn! Yippee. Feeling good in my clothes.

LOW POINT: Having a minuscule taste of my daughter's ice cream....I know its not falling off the wagon but its pretty close. Wishing I was eating a cheeseburger in paradise- heck anywhere for that matter....
