So tonight I made some snickerdoodles for her. Yes, I ate a few too. I mean how can you resist cookies right out of the oven with a glass of cold milk? If you can you are a much better person than I am.
But. I have been doing really well on the diet front and this is the first time I have had cookies in a while, or anything sweet for that matter. I have been eating good and my only splurge has been my Starbucks in the morning, which I wouldn't even be doing that if it weren't for the star dash: I have to get 15 drinks between September 1 -30, before 11am, and then get a bonus 20 stars for it. And well I can't resist the challenge and those 20 extra stars which translate into almost 2 free drinks. If I were at home and going to work it would be a really easy thing to beat in 2 weeks, but here is a little of a challenge to get up and make myself go out of the house when I don't really want to until later. Right now I am up to the 7th star I think, so I have 8 to go. I know I still have 20 more days to get the 8, but I am a just-get-it-over-with gal so that's what I'm doing. (Oooops! I just looked back at my other posts and realized I already went over this here....ooops!)
Of course I can't swear I will stop Starbucks when I get my 15 drinks, but on the other hand I do figure it into my calorie count so I am good there. But it would be better to cut back and just drink coffee at home. And calorie-wise I haven't been counting them down to the wire but am keeping a loose track of them (yes I am being honest about it to myself) and I have been really trying
The only problem I am having, and I am sure you can guess it, is that pesky exercise stuff. Why is my brain-set on that so stubborn NOT to do them?? I wish I could kick myself in the butt and make myself do it. Grrrrrrrr.
As always though, I'm not giving up. I have already cut back on the eating, so the exercising will come next. It WILL.
Anyone else want to give me a kick in the butt??
