S'more Cookies
===============================
Scales are so silly. Okay okay it's not the scale that's silly, BODIES are silly. They're whacked. They're so unpredictable I don't know why we stress ourselves out over the ups and down's we experience with weight.
I took off all of last week at the gym. I ate okay on the week days, but the weekend was 3 days of partying. On top of going out to eat, I also ate a few bags of M&M's, a box (the ENTIRE BOX) of honey combs, whatever was left of the golden grahams, opened the box of trix and had some of those, ate an entire carton of Dryers Double Churn Vanilla Bean Ice cream, I had goldfish, I had chocolate, handfuls of pretzels, homemade pizza twice where I ate half of each one (loaded with cheese, parm cheese, sauce and pepperoni), I made chocolate chip pancakes. I drank half a 1.75 liter bottle of captain morgan, I made shirley temples, MAN OH MAN I went to bed Monday night in pain because I was so full. The scale on FRIDAY was 122 pounds. I didn't weigh myself after all the weekend eating. I don't like to see that number, but I felt super bloated and heavy. The 122 pounds was before I had a heavy weekend. Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday back at the gym and the scale is at 120.4. Wha? I snapped back so fast I don't even know to believe the scale. But what are numbers anyway? Just that. Numbers. On a scale. Numbers are not health. Numbers are not even a judgement of how well you did in a weeks time, or a months time. It's just numbers!
This experience has helped me breath a little easier. We will have times when we eat like crap. It's called the holidays. We will have times the scale jumps up 5-8 pounds and we freak out about it. We'll have times where we can't make it to the gym, or we simply don't wanna. But we all have the better judgement to jump back on track when it's all over. :)
Ah my thoughts flooded in an internet window for you all to read. Good times.
Have a happy and safe 4th of July!!!

Ah karma's a bitch
Yummy, good thing I don't work with you! I wouldn't be able to resist those cookies! I'm pretty much a cookie monster! Also I added you a while ago and never got around to responding to any of your journals or anything but I checked out your profile. I just wanted to tell you that you are amazing and inspirational! I don't have much weight to lose, I'm really just trying to change my eating habits and be more healthy but your story is awesome!

Hey girlie!! Purely coincidental or what but we had rainbows in the sky that day too!!! And I even took a pic of it!! Weird! Love this entry, makes so much sense! |
The funny thing is that when I was capturing this picture a man asked me to roll my window down. Then he said "I just have a question, I was at the gas station and someone told me that Michael Jackson is dead, I don't have a radio in my car and I just got off work" Then he swallowed hard and looked down and continued "is that true?" and I felt SOOO freakn bad having to tell him the news. He turned pale even. Poor dude. |
The cookies look yummy! |
