DAY 30- "C" Is For Cookie

So today is officially 1 month down-only 5 to go. In one month I am down 16 lbs and 10 in overall. Not too shabby. This morning I arose with much gusto and went to Spinning class at West County H & F. It was a good workout. We did "laps" in which there was climbing and switchbacks. The music blew- it was some horrible dance mix music like bad Euro trash....YUCK! Give me something like the 70s rock that June blared out on Friday.

Today was as difficult as yesterday. I wanted all the things I couldn't have. I took a small bite of Ainsley's cereal this morning. I know- it was a bad move. I don't think 1 small bite is going to ruin everything but it might be brewing a buffet breakdown....HA HA! NEVER!!!!

So I am digging in and going to try to make it to 515 and 530 am spinning this week. That should boost my morning workout. Maybe throw in some aerobics this week too. (Not like I am not already doing 2+ hours a day) I only lost 1.5 lbs this week. So I don't want to plateau. Got to keep it moving.

I can dream of Cookies- can't I? Or does that fall under the if you lust for something with your eyes you should cut them out thing? If so I think I need to lay off the cookie fantasy and keep my thoughts on lettuce.

Really, who knew there could actually be something this great....a cupcake with a cookie sticking out of it....One day cookie monster cupcake....one day you will get in my belly..... oops....did I just say all that out loud? Well, now you've seen into the mind of a cookie freak.

Why is this whole thing with food so hard? Have you noticed that food and eating has permeated our culture. It is what we do for leisure, we arrange vacations with it in mind, we socialize with it, we give it as gifts. And Holidays? We are just flat out screwed there. Food is everywhere. We can't get away. We (meaning I for sure) will have to conquer this insanity and learn to live in balance with it. It sounds dramatic and maybe a little overboard, but think about it. Where is it you go where food is not in your face? What is it that you do that you do without food in the mix? There is nothing if you are a food junkie like me. Skinny Minnie workout fanatics- maybe they have a handle on it. Or maybe they don't so they work overtime to keep it at bay.

HIGH: Great spinning class- felt good!

LOW: Fantasizing about food way to much!
