Day 149 - Cheat Day

Cheat Meal n. By setting aside one day a week to eat junk food or whatever you want you take control of your cravings and eat on your terms. This is often referred to as a “cheat meal” because you are deliberately cheating on your diet.

But when it becomes a Cheat DAY??? BAD!! BAD!! BAD!! I know!!!! 

My gym's Weight Loss Challenge begins on Monday. It will be for the next 8 weeks which will coincide with SEVEN (yes, 7!!) family members' birthdays, Halloween AND Thanksgiving!! I fully intend to KICK SOME BUTT!! I LOVE COMPETITION and I will stay strong through all of those celebrations!!

So... if there are a few things I need to get out of my system this weekend, I will... And not feel bad! 

My birthday is the weekend after the competition ends! <maniacal laugh! maniacal laugh!>

Day 82 - Simple Pleasures

So, yes. I did buy new jeans that were 2 sizes smaller. Victory! Right? Well, it didn't feel very satisfying. It felt more like a necessity. (And common courtesy when going out in public!!) And the baggy jeans were driving me nuts!

I have quit so many things and people for that matter, I needed to find a small thrill in SOMETHING!!

I just hit a milestone after passing the 20 pound loss, so I needed to treat myself to something other than jeans. 

Here it is.

It made me happy!! :)

I had quit drinking coffee, mostly because I was drinking a pot a day, sometimes more, and into the evening hours. Now I can have one cup in the morning and call it good!
