Temptation

Pictured above are just a few of the things that are delivered to our office on any given day.  Pure temptation.  That's what that is.  It's completely ridiculous that people bring this crap to us...and in such a large volume!  All of those desserts were delivered at one time...in the same day...by the same drug rep.  Really?!  Can't you look around and see that isn't what we need?!  How about some fruit?  Or a veggie tray?!  Good grief.  What it really comes down to is this:  Is it worth it?  All of those desserts are from Edgars.  Anything from Edgars is absolutely amazing.  BUT - is it really worth it?  Yes...it's going to be good.  Yes...it's going to taste amazing but if it causes me to gain weight....is it really worth it?  NO!  It's totally not worth it at all.  So...I resist temptation.  Am I always successful?  Not every time, no.  But for the most part I am able to just walk away from things like this.  It gets easier over time.  You just have to decide what you want more.  Weight loss and health...or a little pleasure that only lasts a second.  It's not easy...not at all.  It does get better though...easier with time.  That fact alone makes my soul happy.  :o)

I haven't been on track like I should the past couple of months but as of June 1st I am!  David issued me a challenge.  He challenged me to a true Subway challenge.  The only place I can eat out is Subway.  Otherwise I have to make my meals at home.  I'm doing this the whole month of June and when I accomplish this I win all of his dvd's.  Hahahaha!  I am so excited!  :o)  This is day 13 and I'm not going to say it's been easy.  It's been really difficult.  When I go out with my friends I either have to pick up Subway or make sure I've eaten before meeting them.  Then I get the pleasure of sitting there while they eat their delicious food.  Delicious and very unhealthy.  So...not only am I saving money BUT I'm making healthier decisions too!  I also started working out with a personal trainer last week.  My friend and I will meet with him at least once a week.  We've had 2 sessions with him and he has kicked our butts both times.  I'm usually sore for a few days after.  I have to admit...I love the pain.  :o)  It lets me know that I'm doing something right!  The goal is to be in the gym 3 days a week.  That's totally doable I just have to make it happen.  Luckily I have a friend to go with me so that makes it easier.  It gives me motivation to go.  It MAKES me go because I know I've told her that I would.  For some reason I need that push.  I need that commitment.  I need to know that if I cancel then I'm letting someone down.  I signed a 6 month contract so I'll be with my personal trainer until December and then I'll decide if I want to sign another.  I can't wait for December to get here so I can see my results!!!!!  :o)  I'm super excited!  I have a feeling it's going to be amazing.  For real.
