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!
