The Cookie Monsters; Part Two
Okay, last night I almost caved. The cookies were calling to me. I blogged, I took a shower, I knitted, I did homework (still don’t understand it, but whatever), and they still were there. I paced infront of the cookie jar….does that count as excersize? Never mind. But, I did it!! I didn’t eat them.
I put them into the garbage disposal.
I am laughing as I write this. It was PATHETIC! I called my sister, who is also trying to lose weight, right before I did it. She asked if I had been drinking. LOL. Come to think of it, she asks me that a lot….
Anyway, my daughter did the gymnastics thing tonight for the first time. There were a lot of psycho-moms there. I mean, we live in bum freaking Egypt, Wisconsin! I wanted to scream, “Do ya really think that what your four year old does this moment really determines their Olympic dreams?” I was just happy my kid didn’t throw a fit or act like a knob…..
Such a good mom, eh?
Today was relatively easy. I was starving all day, but ate my apple and ignored the vending machine. Honestly, there is nothing in that stupid thing that even looked tempting. Probably because I made a concious effort to IGNORE it. Got home, but had to rush out the door for the gymnastics thing. Ignored the vending machine there. Came home and had plain pasta. I know, I know, CARBS! But, really, it was the only thing I had in the fridge that would fill me up without making me feel like I weighed a TON…..
No sauce, though. All I had was the “emergency” jar stuff. Keep it on hand forthe girls “quick” dinners. Can’t stomach it. Guess it’s an Italian thing.
Am contemplating my work out tomorrow. I can either do it before class, in which I will be tired all during class, or I can do it after class, at 11pm. What should I do? I know that I HAVE to do it, slacking is not an option cuz if I do it once, I have an excuse.
Hope everyone else has a good night. Funny, I am not hungry. Weird. This eating healthy and working out stuff hs me all different! I LOVE IT!
LOL Those cookies aren’t the boss of you! Way to go stuffing them into the disposal. I know what you mean about psycho parents… seems to be a trend in small towns. Thanks for the chuckle. You’re doing great!!!
You are hilarious and full of determination around cookies, vending machines and psycho-moms :)If I were you and I was doing right by me, I’d exercise before class as it actually gives me energy. You may be stinky, but, hey, that might keep you awake too LOL
Hats off to you for getting rid of the cookies. Parents can be cruel to children in sports. I’ve seen it at my son’s wrestling meets. They forget they are children. Heck, I wouldn’t treat an adult how they treat the kids.
It’s good that you are getting the exercise in. Good luck with it and class. Great job avoiding vending machines.
I absolutely loved your blog, and yet pacing counts as exercise!
I love the psycho stage mom thing. You should have seen the ones at my son’s Christmas play.
I really wanted to remind this one woman in particular that I personally saw her rising star eating paste 2 days earlier, but I resisted.
Too bad the vending machines don’t fit in the garbage disposal.
Good job on the cookies. Keep up the good work.
I am so glad you got rid of those cookies girl! Wooo hooo! And listen, a little carbs here and there isn’t that bad especially if there isn’t anything else around. It’s all about the portions and anything else you might add to it. Hey, I just had an idea. Maybe you should trash the cookie jar so there is no place for them things to hang out in. And I’m wondering what you were knitting. Any chance it ended up looking like a cookie? Hmmmm?
