Sleepover Night

Oh Lee- I laughed out loud when I saw that you were working with your Jenny Craig person to figure out why Mexican food is tempting. I laughed because I had just finished a fajita and loved it. I don't think there is a mystery here- IT TASTES AMAZING. Just like if a million dollars was laying in front of you, you will always feel tempted to take it - no matter how esteemed your self control. You are not alone, the Mexican food toys with me daily it seems.

I didn't follow my plan exactly last night. The snack monster found me. I snacked on non-fat things but pretty much all night long. Then Lindsey came over and we drank hot chocolate by the fire. It is interesting listening to her guy stories these days. She's back on the dating scene and says she's ready to start getting back into shape. She, too fell of the band wagon when Leah and I did and gained 15 lbs, just like me :(. So no matter which life stage you're in, it shows your health and confidence are directly related and equally important.

I would try to list all of the crap I ate yesterday but I think it would only discourage me because I'm doing well so far today.

Today's Plan:
1. yogurt cup - 120 calories
2. hot choc at work - 100 calories
3. lean cuisine chicken/veggies - 260 calories
4. steamed veggies
5. pop corn - 100 calorie package
7. 3 glasses of Moscatto 360 calories
_____ 940 calories (with room for more)
* Jillian video - 1 hour

I'm right on track so far but as we know night time is the killer. Tonight I have my sleepover with Jackie and Landra. I'm sure they'll want to drink and eat thousands of calories worth. I will NOT partake. I'm going to bring my veggies and pop corn to her house and will not stray from the plan. I have time to do the Boost Metabolism video before I go, too so there should be no excuses.

I did the Boost Metabolism video again last night and I think it's getting easier. Well, not easier but I can get through it without wanting to die. I used to stare at the clock the whole work out but now I try to really get into it and enjoy it. The dogs are getting better at staying up on the couch and allowing me to work out without interruption. Good babies.

Wish me luck tonight. Have a low-cal weekend!
