One Big Negative Influence

Its a hot one today, folks.  Too hot means no exercise.  Plus I kinda want to eat a lot tonight and am struggling not to. 

I wore a pair of pants to work today that did not fit me 48 days ago.  When I tried them on over a month ago, they were very tight and not able to button them so downstairs in the closet they went with other too-small-for-me clothing.  I didn't think I'd be wearing them this season at all, if ever again.  So to be able to wear them now is exciting and proof that I really have lost weight (its hard for me to see it, other than the numbers on the scale). 

I don't want to say that I am becoming discouraged, but I sometimes forget the progress that I made.  That I am continuing to make.  Turning down homemade blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes is getting a bit more difficult to pass up.  However, I have done awesome with my will power and have passed up the following this week:
  • home made pancakes (by a coworker at work)
  • bundt cake (by a coworker)
  • a bowl full of milky ways and kit kats (at work)
  • temptations to head to the DQ
  • Cookies (leftover from the Cookie Lady at work)
  • Temptations of various candy bars lying around (1,000 grand, snickers, etc.  At work)
  • homemade bread and jam (brought it by a coworker at work)
  • Popcorn (at work)
  • Monkey Bread (at work)
  • French Fries (at a restaurant)
I guess work is a bad influence.  No wonder I have gained a zillion pounds with all that sugary goodness lying about!

Food:

cereal with blueberries

nectarine

salad
yogurt
pineapple

turkey hotdog
veggies with ranch (light)

handful of dried cranberries

bowl of cookies and cream frozen yogurt

Activity:
Zip.  None.  Nada.
