Snickerdoodles and Ice Cream

I've decided that as this program carries onward, I'm not sure I'll be posting every day anymore. It's not that I've given up on working out and eating healthy--far from it. It's that nothing inspirational happens every single day when the same routine occurs. So from now on, if there is something worth mentioning, I'll do it. But let's not get worried if I go a day or two without posting.

Yesterday I made one of the best decisions of the week. And that was to treat myself to a Snickers ice cream bar. I figured I owed it to myself, considering I hadn't had one for about two months. So I approached the freezer vending machine and bought me one when I was done eating dinner and ate it up. I was worried the simple sugars would ruin the day for my weight loss as it did on other occasions, but the next morning I found I had dropped another 0.7 pounds for that day.

Later today, a coworker brought in snickerdoodles--my personal favorites--and we all treated ourselves to three or four of them. We justified this by the fact that we were going to the gym an hour later, so a cookie or two or three or four would be no match to the amount of working out we were about to do. Four cookies later, and a very satisfied look on our faces, we were in the gym doing circuit training. Considering I may have gone overboard by the number of cookies consumed today, I feel I owe these little rewards of good behavior to myself. It is this mindset that is allowing this program to work for me.

On another note, my finacee and I are getting engagement pictures taken on March 6th. Hopefully by then I'll have dropped another five pounds so I'll be looking particularly wonderful to be seen alongside my gorgeous future bride during the photo shoots. I'm pretty excited.
