So I woke up on Friday ready to rock this health journey. I walked into work....and there it was.
The anniversary/birthday of my employers existence was on Friday and they had cookies for a celebration. Yup...I ate a cookie or three.
(As a side note...isn't it crazy to have a customer appreciation in the midst of closing down the office...so literally we had a celebration while customers were receiving the bad news about their branch.)
I didn't too bad on Friday night......but I was determined that Saturday would be a success...as much as possible on a weekend.
Saturday was going to be the new first day of my hard core healthiness!!!
I woke up and ate my cereal....and got to work and my coworker hit me with a bit of niceness.....
Yup...a Bavarian cream donut. Heck yeah I ate it!!!
We did lunch at Arby's.
Ok so maybe the sandwich wasn't all that bad...but the curly fries and cheese cup wasn't all that great!
And then dinner was a simple cheese pizza (only because they delivered it minus the garlic and pepperoni). Nope...I just ate two pieces!
Well I guess Sunday could be my day to begin complete utter and complete awesomeness!!!
Woohoo...Arby's again....but this time I tried the loaded cheese fries. I've been curious!!!
Yeah they were pretty good.... but probably way over budget in calories.
Dinner was a sub. (Turkey) and pasta salad....but I finally caved and got the ice cream I've been craving since Wednesday night!!!
Yup...three attempts...wash rinse repeat.
Today...I can do this today!!!! There are still cookies here and I'm fighting the urge to have one!. I just have to stay away from those darn cookies...they are killing me...I want them so bad!!!
Today is my day to shine!!!!
Motivation alert.....
This weekend Jason and I waked through a few stores and saw some clothes. I would love to be able to shop anywhere for clothes!!!! He points out clothes he would love to see on my all the time. And he has good taste! I just need to be able to fit into them!!!!!!
And the biggest motivator....
As I was planning in my head and starting to write my post I received a text from Jason...just saying 'I love you'. It was not shocking to receive it as we say that all the time. But at 9:30 in the morning...while we are both at work....when we texted at 7am this morning....not expected. Turns out he and the guy he was scheduled to be with today were driving and the other guy (mid 40's maybe a year or two older than me) turned white...clutched his chest and started to have difficulty breathing and talking. The guy refused 911 and Jason drove like the wind to take him to the hospital which is where he was texting me from. Immediately I thought about what if that was Jason and I hadn't said I love you that extra time....I immediately told him (and he said that's why he texted me because it made us realize how fragile life really can be and he wanted to tell me the same!!). I don't have any updated news on his co-worker....but I'm going to say no news is good news.
So why am I writing about this? While I don't yet know what happened to this co-worker, with the symptoms I have my suspicions. And what a huge reminder about how important it is to take steps to eat right and to live an active and healthy lifestyle!!!!
You know what? Those cookies still sound good....but they are suddenly my no longer as tempting!!!!!!
