Soooore!

It was hard to get up today for the gym! I was soo tired but I got up ...a bit late, but I made it. Today was a weight workout day. OUCH I am sore...worked out every muscle and feel great. I love the feeling of STRENGTH..knowing each time I lift a weight I am losing FAT and gaining muscle!

Last night was bunco. Veggie pizza, chinese chicken salad, ice cream sundaes and cheesecake were served, not to mention each table had junior mints and hot tamales on them (oh and smirnoff ice!). So I knew this was the menu all day (I called ahead LOL) and planned out in my head what I would do. I will say when I got there it all went out the window. I cracked...it smelled so good in there! A few of the gals in Bunco are also in my Biggest Loser competion and one girl made a comment to me "Go ahead and eat a bunch of pizza so I can win the money" Thats all it took. I GOT STRONG...the tiny bit of willpower I had took control. I had two servings of the salad, a few hot tamales and a few junior mints. I WON....me...little old me who normally would have eaten 2 slices of pizza (at least) PLUS 2 servings of salad, bread and a big piece of cheesecake and probably a couple smirnoffs! Oh and I watched 4 other girls from my competion eating dessert.....that will only help me win!

Now I totally get the chicken salad had some bad stuff in it and was probably still WAY over my calories that I needed for dinner, but I think I made good choices with what I had to work with. Baby steps!

At Bunco we actually ended up playing Whoopie. A fun dice game where the winner of each table gets to look at everyones gift and take the one they want and move to the next table. After about an hour of playing I won this cookbook! What a fitting prize for me! I want you to know I PASSED up the Olive Garden gift card as well as one to the new yogurt shop in town hoping to keep this book in my possession.

Did I mention I WANT To win DONUTS?? Check out Jen...she is on the news! WTG!!
