Remember that one time I wrote about bendable celery? Well today, lets talk about twisted Snickers.
With all of the devils temptation (aka “left over Halloween candy”) hanging around the of lately, I have been put to the test. Monday and Tuesday I didn’t do so well.
Yesterday, I did better. At one point, I found myself hand deep in the bowl of “fun sized” temptation on my cubey neighbors desk only to walk away with a “fun-sized” Snickers.
I sat down to savor my high-calorie, totally not worth it snack when a big dose of will power ran through my blood vessels.
From way way down deep, I mustered up all my frustration for not being able to eat that darn Snickers and just twisted the bejesus outta it.
That’ll show them darn “fun-sized” Snickers!
Measurements Update
On Saturday, I had Kevin (trainer man) take my measurements. I must say, I was completely shocked by the results! I really honestly thought I hadn’t changed at all since January. Sure I had lost 5 to 9lbs but 2 inches on my chest? 3.25 inches on my waist? Holy cannoli!
Another day, same lesson…the scale doesn’t measure what is really going on with the body! Besides the scale, do you track your measurements? If not, you should consider it – it will help you get a better understanding of what’s really going on. Cuz the eyes can fool us, we may not be able to see our own results in the mirror.
I had another training session with Kevin this morning – me, just plugging away at this whole healthiness lifestyle. One day at a time!
Wednesday Date Night
Last night, Carlos and I went out to dinner with his boss who was in town for a couple of days. We went to the Modern Cafe in Minneapolis. We’ve gone many times before – they have a simple yet delish menu! Any locals been here?
