Cake, Cake everywhere

Survived one party already this weekend. No matter how big I cut the pieces of cake we still came home with half of it.  Another party tonight and more cake.  I did have a small piece of cake at lunch yesterday which was to celebrate my birthday.  But stayed strong, no  cake last night. Not planning on cake for tonight either. I must say that by the end of tonight I will not want to see another piece of pizza.  Only had one piece last night.  The old Lisa would be having cake for breakfast this morning. I'm just going to go have my peaches.  Staying strong!!!

Tough weekend ahead

Birthday Party weekend is upon us.  Went out for a birthday lunch and my friend got me a cake, I had a very small piece.  It was delicious.  Now we have a party for Lauren tonight, one for Matt tomorrow......I will do my very best to eat wisely.  I'm still trying to get rid of two pounds to hit the 25 pound mark.  I have my doubts that it will be this weekend but I will give it my best shot!  Happy birthday to Lauren and Matt.

Stupid Scale

Mad and frustrated at the scale. I did everything the way I planned. Worked out while we were away. Every day!  The numbers haven't moved.  Hate when that happens. Sometimes you just do everything right and get no results.  That being said...not going to let it bother me. Keep moving on and keep doing what I'm doing the scale will catch up. 

My beautiful daughters words

Last night as Lauren was waiting to go to the dance, looking so beautiful, she looked at me with amazement in her eyes and said "mom you look thinner". If I can borrow an expression from a friend .....that's what's up!

Gym mirrors

So I made it to the hotel in time for my workout that's the good news. It was a great workout. But...let me tell you I've never been surrounded by so many mirrors in my life. I was feeling good about 23 pounds until I was surround by these evil mirrors. Looking forward to an am workout but not the mirrors.

Weekend

The Weekend is upon us.  Will be out of town and that always presents challenges.  I need to lose 2 pounds this weekend.  I really want to get on the scale Monday and see that I've reached the 25 pound mark.  So I guess I need to go to the market tonight and get some fruit to bring with me.  I have to make sure I use the gym at the hotel.  Smart choices need to be made for dining out.  I guess I feel if I write it on the blog I'll actually do it so here's hoping the weekend goes as planned.  Hope everyone has a great weekend. Will be back win or lose on Monday.

Chocolate

Friday night I was at Mohegan Sun for a concert.  Stuck to my plan of what I was going to eat for dinner but it's traditional for us to go to Godiva for a piece of chocolate.  If you have a golden Godiva rewards card you can get one piece of chocolate for free each month.  I decided to get my chocolate.  It was good. It was also good that I really didn't feel like I wanted another. One piece did the trick. 

Last night at work there was a big bowl of Dark Chocolate Kisses.  I love dark chocolate.  I was tempted. I could have just had one and I think I would have been ok. I wasn't sure though. I wasn't sure I could stop at one last night. Lucky for me I had brought a fruit cup with me.  That is what I had, fruit instead of chocolate.  

Of course I had to wonder...there was 70 calories in the fruit cup, how many calories in one hershey kiss.  Weighing the two options, I'm glad I chose the fruit over the candy.  It proves to me that your mind really can be retrained to make better decisions.
