Just thinking out loud…can I bypass the holidays? My temptation tolerance is at a two-year record low and I’m just not cutting it. Stress is still ranking pretty high right now…so much that I have to report, I skipped TOM again. Remember the post I did about me skipping my period due to weight loss? And then this summer, after 1.5 years, it finally came back? Stress blew that outta the water. (ah, is this TMI? I’ll change the subject now.)
Anyways, the new job is wonderful. I love my team, am so interested in all the projects I’m doing and feel so involved on so many different new levels…
Here, lemme get closer.
You see my friends, this is the bowl of straight.from.the.devel’s.hand temptation that is staring at me ALL DAY LONG. It’s in the cube across from me so there really is no walking down a different isle, there is no ignoring it, there is no denying it – it stares at the back of my head.
AND…yesterday, temptation picked me up, chewed me up & spit me out, threw me in the air 42 times and then down a flight of stairs. SERIOUSLY… I gave into this bowl of chocolate in the worst most horrible way. Over a period of about 3 hours yesterday afternoon, I devoured:
I’m not even gonna estimate the calories, really don’t care about that. What I care about is how I let it ruin my evening. I was so pissed off & upset and felt like it just ruined my entire day that I came home and had wheat thins & hummus, then 20 minutes later had a Holey Donuts, THEN proceeded to make dinner and eat that too (egg whites & toast.)
UGH…It was like all that sugar in me totally took over and made me go crazy! AND…of course, did you notice I did NOT mention gym at all in my whole hellish night? That’s cuz I didn’t go.
SO, here’s what I’m thinking – I really am gonna need to jump on Ebay quick to find a suit of armor to protect me during this holiday season. Emotions are gonna be flying everywhere. Stress is gonna be off the charts, I can already tell. So I’m going to need to be prepared. If I don’t put my plan together now, I’m going to be whining and crying in January.
I’ve put the feelers out on some of the other social medias (Twitter & Facebook people, are you connected to me yet? If not, come on!) and hope to develop a plan to put in place over the next couple of days. Stay tuned.
P.S. On a funny note, take a moment to google “bendable celery” and laugh at the first link that comes up. HA-HA!
