And That's the Way the Cookie Crumbles

-Random, unrelated thought that popped in my head as I typed that title...is "way" one of those words you do or do not typically capitalize in a title?  It seems small enough that I would say no, but yet important enough that I'd say yes.  Whatever, I don't know why I even care.

So as the "chair" of the Training & Morale committee at my work, and through some great suggestions I got from fellow co-workers, it was decided to have a cookie party.  That party taking place yesterday.  Just a fun thing where everyone brings cookies to share basically.  We had some GOOD ones!  I failed and forgot to make mine, but I stopped by Paradise and made up for it. :)  It was a good time.  Except just as the PIE contest, the table containing these delicious treats was located right outside my office. 

YAY, except for the fact that on Monday Remy and I worked our butts off at the gym. Literally.  I usually spend a little while doing the weight machines and then about 45 minutes on cardio plus cool down.  Well this time Remy did his weights, I spent 35 minutes spinning (ouchy on my tooshy!) then figured Remy would have like 20 minutes or so left on his cardio.  Oh no.  He had 45!  So I jumped on the elliptical next to him and pedaled my legs off.  I got SOOOO tired!  The longest I had ever gone was 60 minutes so an extra 20 minutes passed that and I was beat.  BUT, it paid off on the scale!

That is...until we had COOKIE DAY!  (see how I brought that full circle? :) ) I thought I'd have some stronger will-power to resist cookies.  Yeah, that's a no.  Now I COULD have eaten a lot MORE that's for sure, but still I shouldn't have had what I did.  I justified it by eating cookies for my breakfast and lunch.  Sick.  Yet delicious.  The bummer is that I wasn't able to get to work out yesterday, so I have a feeling I'm going to have to pull another long one today.  That's okay. I figure it can't kill me.  There is this girl there who does 90 minutes on an elliptical-type machine at full resistance and incline and then runs at a 12 or something on the treadmill after that for like 30 minute or more.  GAG!

But despite all my cookie eating...I've lost 13 pounds since we got home from California in January!
