Ok, made it thru Thanksgiving without skipping a workout–not even on Thanksgiving day itself! Yay me, I ran 4 miles..along with a whole lot of other cardio freaks in the gym on Thanksgiving–anyways who goes to the gym on Thanksgiving??? I thought I would be nearly alone in there..I was wrong…all the machines were taken, I got there just in time…(something I was thankful for on thanksgiving )

The good news is I made it thru without skipping any workouts…..but I think I gained 2-3 lbs the past week and a half due to eating too many of the frosted cookies I made (pic of them in one of my previous blogs)grrrrrrrrrr!!…they have now been removed from my presence, and will not longer be influencing me to ruin my otherwise disciplined eating days…I want the last week and a half back!

I am moving forward and have learned something about my lack of restraint when cookies are around.  I thought I had developed enough willpower to turn away any thoughts of eating bad stuff if it was available…but no, it is true what they say: carbohydrates/sugars are addicting..when I found myself on the Yes side of the ’should I eat a cookie or not?’ conversation in my head, I felt ok about the decision because I thought, ’it’s ok, because I’ll just eat one’…yeah, RIGHT….I did eat one..and then another ONe..and another ONE..and so on..!!

So here I am, a few lbs heavier..I was so happy with my progress up to last week, and this just burst my bubble..but I have my eyes OPEN now, and I know that I need to keep any temptation away from me, because it’s not worth messing up my results…no matter how irresistible and sweet the yummy frosted devil may be..grrr!!!!

Oh, well..it’s a new week and I will clean it up..

Today’s workout:  I ran 2 miles, then did legs

4×10 squats

3×10 hamstring curls

3×12,10,8 inner thigh machine (went up each set in weight)

3×12,10,8 outer thigh machine "                   
                   "

2×10 alternating leg lunges with smith

3×10 leg press

I am not going too heavy on my leg workouts until I get closer to my weight loss goal, because when I do, I can’t run for a few days and I need that cardio right now to blast fat!
