SaturdaySaint's Diary

OKay...I just dealt with a very hard personal struggle...this is what happened. The office had a "Secret santa" luncheon today, the leftover food from it (ALL SORTS of sweets, goodies, carbs, meats, etc) are in the kitchen for anyone that wants it. Cookies, brownies, you name it..it's there, I walked in... 2 people were like...Kenny..this is the worst place for you to be right now...

I said..."Nope..I purposely came over here... just to make sure I didn't get anything"

I figured I'd face the temptation instead of succumb to it...had 3 cherry tomatos, and walked away. That was HUGE for me!!! Cause I have to say it really looked good...specially the cookies...but I fought it! And WON! :D
 
I didn't see your last post before I responded - SS - GOOD FOR YOU!! Facing that temptation and walking away from it ROCKS!!

WOW!!! Congratulations for letting yourself get tempted and then walking away from it! Strong willpower!!! If you can walk away from a situation like that you can do anything you want!! :D

It's also a very good thing that you have coworkers that try to help you in situations like that by telling you that you don't need to be there. Wow, awesome!
 
Well...it's been a long day. It's 10:45pm and I'm just about ready for bed. I did 50 minutes on the gazelle tonight. 504 calories burned tonight! And MTM&K made some HEAVENLY healthy chicken nuggets and a potato soup. Even with all that I've eaten today...I'm STILL at 1330 calories. That's pretty amazing to me! I need to go to bed soon... but wow...I have some energy goin for me..and that's awesome in a way. It's awesome because it's starting to show my metabolism. But it's also bad because..well... frankly... I'm in need of some serious sleep! But my eyes are wide open. I'm going to make sure I'm awake in the morning. Hope everyone has a good evening!
 
I hope you got to sleep in a little SS! Good for you; 50 minutes? :eek: I'm still lucky if I can last 12, then I take a break and maybe manage another 10. I'm such a wuss. :D
 
Hey SS, hope you got some good rest........I also am impressed with the exercise you are kickin there!!!! I am gradually increasing my time at stuff......but it is working... so hey! well dude..........have a great Sat. and remember "its all in the hips....it's all in the hips" LOL STAR
 
So.... here goes nothin! This weekend was a blur! But we got CHRISTMAS SHOPPING DONE!!!!!! WOOHOOOOOOOOO I'm so excited! It was a blast! We managed to get some money together and we were able to do some shopping for the kiddos! It was great! And we had a friend babysit so, MTM&K and I got to have some alone time and hit some shops! It was great fun!

So Saturday was my no exercise day. Which was okay... ANd last night, We decided that we were going to have a order whatever night. Have a cheat night if you will. We had chinese... Now mind you....I'll never loose the taste for chinese.... love it love it love it! but wow...I felt so queezy by the time we made it to one of the stores... My stomach felt like it had a tiny midget in my stomach with a snow blower, shooting grease all over my stomach. Bleck! You have to understand. I love General Tso chicken...and sweet and sour chicken for that matter. Deep fried bleckness. I did a search when I got home and a serving of General Tso is 830 cals! That's by itself! No other things :eek: :eek: So I think I'm done for a while with that. It's recommended to do a white meat instead. Will try next time.

Today though was better. By the time it was dinner time, I have had 956 cals for the day...leaving me ample room for a nice healthy dinner... and maybe a little hot chocolate after dinner. I can't be up TOO late because 4:50am is right around the corner! I'll check in with everyone elses diarys in the morning..but I'll hang around here for a bit! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Yeah...I used to just go for 20 minutes when I was just doing the gazelle and the exercise bike...but since I've switched to the Yourself Fitness pretty much exclusively, the nights that we get the kids in bed on time and dinner eaten at a decent hour, I'll hop on the gazelle for 50 minutes...was actually thinking about switching to a full hour and doing 600 calories... You're not a wuss...it take a little time :)

Soooo.... it's 8:56 and I'm in the full swing of work already! Yippie! This weekend I had a little splurg with the chinese food...and last night, had some low sodium stove top stuffing..which was good as well! The big announcement for today is...I lost yet another lb! w00t!!!! I'm now down to 227! Ticker needs changing yet again! But hey...I'm excited! Getting closer and closer to that 30lbs lost mark! then 5 more and BOOM I'm at the half way mark... Which is exciting for me! Doing my best! Sometimes feel like I could do better but.... Hey..atleast I'm not just sitting still!

I did my exercising yesterday during the day...and it was fun! Did lower body and it really wasn't as bad as I expected it to be! But this morning was a different story! This morning was cardio... Jumping jacks, heel jacks, DOUBLE heel jacks... ugh... sucks. I actually had to lower the difficulty.... it was pretty rough. 8 minutes into it I was like...OWWWW..Slow down. Lowered it and got back into the groove...which was better. Whats cool is...I felt bad about lowering it...then at the end, The Virtual Trainer (maya) says "Every session is different... you did a great job today!" awwww shucks...thanks xbox... you make me smile!

So my morning has begun, and I'm ready to go for the day! WOOHOO! Oh..and found out my mother is going to be in town... watch me jump up and down with excitement. yay :rolleyes: she's gonna be here for Christmas... (if you haven't gathered...we don't get along at ALL)... we'll see how that plays out!
