Monday after work, my best friend and I decided to spend the evening in the mall.  We got hungry, or should I say, it was time for my next feeding.  The place of choice was TGI Friday’s.  Now, back when, Friday’s was my place to go for a well done cheese burger and fries…yum.  But that was back then.  I dined on chicken, broccoli, and brown rice.  Now guest what my bf(best friend) ordered?  You got it…a cheese burger with fries.  In my mind I was a bit worried that I would want a taste, but I said no to her offers.   As we ate, my bf decided to start making yummy noises.  The sort of noises one makes when they are really enjoying and savoring something that is oh so good, and juicy.  I’m not one to cuss, else I would have said ‘f@#* you’, but I knew I had this covered and if this was a test, I would pass. 

When I thought it was over, once she was done with her burger, she did the unthinkble.  She ordered this brownie, with ice cream on top, which had melting fudge and caramel.  Now, sitting across from her, it smelled damn good.  Once again, she ate it, savoring each spoon full.  You want some she asked…as she picked up the second spoon and handed it my way.  We use to share a dessert, but this time, she ate it all by herself.  Now, to be honest, part of so wanted to have some…it smelled so very good I tell you!  I don’t know how I was able to resist…I cannot explain.  As we walked out of Friday’s, all I could say to my bf was ‘thanks for the test’.

Alright, end of week number three of the Last Man Challenge.  Was I eating dirty before I ask myself?:-)  As I try to answer the question, I am reminded of the ginger cookies I avoided at work earlier in the week.  The old me would have seen the cookies, smiled and head straight for the table, without giving a second thought.  The new me…talks to myself,  to a point where, I cannot understand why in the past resisting such snacks were difficult.  I guess all I needed was a challenge and to know that others were working as hard and even harder than myself.  Being on this site and sharing with others, makes me wonder where am I going?  Ultimately, what am I trying to accomplish?  As corny as it may sound, I am trying to be as heathy and strong as I can…and I know I have a long way to go…but I think that’s enough of a challenge to keep me going.

Oh no, oh no…the snack table has one of my favorite cookies this week.  I walked by and had to do a double take….I could not believe my eyes.  I was like, come on now…what the heck.  Why me, maybe I should work from home this week, or maybe my co-workers will eat them all quickly…lol.  I had to snap out of it, such thoughts were craziness.  After pulling myself together, within my mind, I told myself I could not mess up now.  Everyone has been supportive and I must keep up the fight…my mind must already be gone…lol.  That was this morning and I was able to get over it and move on with my day.  Maybe when I get home I will make some protein pancakes with almonds, that should make me feel better…as I sit at my desk telling myself those cookies are not worth it.

Cheers to great health everyone!  Positive thoughts, positive thoughts…yes, it’s working….:-)
