Seriously, this shouldn't even be a post, but ever since last Tuesday, I've been a cookie maniac. Lots of cookies, ever day, hence the Sabatoge post from Thursday.
However, I am two days cookie sober. I made 4 dozen today and didn't even lick the icing off the spoon. I have had 2 very clean eating days. My plan is still to wait until New Years Eve to get on the scale. I've started to doubt that I can have clean days until then. Of course on Christmas we will have our traditional goose dinner, but why am I doubting the rest of it? Because I've had some bad days and I am having a defeatist attitude. What the heck? I've got to cut this out. I surely have no intention of gaining back this almost 90 lbs. It's December...the toughest month of the year for emotional eaters!
I'm adding work outs this next week to try to meet my exercise goal for this quarter, so that might mean 2 hours a day of exercise. That's a good thing. Today I'm even doing a triple (because I'm a little crazy and I miss my gym buddies).
There are now only 12 days left to this cold dreary month...Bring on the New Year!!!
Good job on two days cookie sober! Now to make it three, and then it just grows from there :)
ReplyDeleteGirl. I love me some cookies. LOVE! Good for you being sober for 2 days - and while having to BAKE them!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the cookies. And the cake. And all the other temptations. Thankfully, it will be over in a few days.
ReplyDeleteHi Jodie - Love your cookie sobriety! I am currently in cookie and confection overdose, which is the distinct opposite of your status.
ReplyDelete:( But I'm not feeling too bad about it as I'm enjoying so much of my day to day life. Several years ago I was doing Atkins, and got through tons of baking and cooking, from before Thanksgiving to well into January, without so much as a molecule of contraband, so it can be done. Merry and Happy to you and yours!
Cookies can be a problem, but it sounds like you have gotten a handle on it. I for one, will be glad when all of the temptation is over. This is a difficult time for those of us who want to be losing weight and eating healthy. Momentum is important, and we have to be vigilant and strong in order to make it. Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteGood job on being 2 days cookie sober HA HA Cookies are my downfall too, I just made a ton over the weekend and I raided them yesterday, time to put them in the freezer out of my reach!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I've just finished a small piece of a dessert and am reading health blog while my laundry finishes up so I won't go back for another piece. I also have a cup of coffee...that will tide me over.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a hard time of year, and I think anyone who maintains through December is awesome! Loses? Even better! :)
Thanks for your kind comments lately! I appreciate it.
Just now catching up on my backlog of blog posts! I love the "cookie sober" phrase.... Lord was that ever me!
