Few of my Danger Foods

Pretzel rods. I consider these a 'healthy' snack. Pretzels aren't awful, but by no means are they healthy. 37 calories per rod. Especially when you chow down 5 of them in one sitting. That is only possible if I dip them in laughing cow 'light' (of course!) swiss cheese wedges. 

Laughing cows 35 calories wedges, you complete me. Two at a time though? With 5 pretzel rods? You complete my thighs, my ass, my bat wings (see picture to the left, that's a bat wing). This is just a preview of my diet this week, after losing 6 pounds. I also had a strawberry milkshake from McDonalds and probably gained those 6 pounds back in that one trip to McIhatemyself.

I have the worst PMS cravings. I cannot be alone, but man do I feel it sucking on that guilt straw.

Okay- done bitching. The good news? I found a Zumba class in my hometown that has a $3.00 drop in class fee and offers evening classes two times a week. Time to step it up! I hope this Fridays weigh-in doesn't reflect this horrible week I'm having. Wish me luck!

Zumba!

I've started doing Zumba Fitness for the Kinect, wow! This will be a lot of fun once I'm able to do it without taking short breaks after every song to sigh obnoxiously and count down the songs until I'm done! It's a workout like I've never done. It keeps me coming back day after day, and that is very special to me! I need the motivation. I had a doctors appointment last week that confirmed how important this hill is to climb. I won't get into specifics but lets just say I need to stick with it this time. For once, and for all. Sometimes I feel bad because in the past I've failed but in the grand scheme of things, who cares? Who will remember how many times I've failed miserably, if I finally do the damn thing? Nobody. And if they do remember, maybe seeing me cross the finish line will make them all the more proud! If not, f em. 

I got a new tattoo last week to remind myself to keep going and to not give up! Believe (in myself) & Persevere. The shooting star is in honor of my Grandmother. I love it! I would have loved it more if the first time I had it done it was spelled properly. Hence the large V in persevere there to cover up the R that was added and that shouts COVER UP. Oh well, what are you going to do? It might not have ended up as the prettiest thing ever, but it means so much to me that I really don't care. If you think it's ugly, so be it. It's a good thing I didn't get it with what you thought in mind. 

It's come in handy so far, I've actually wanted to eat something horrible for me or stop mid song and just 'get by' but I took one look and remembered- KEEP GOING. It'll be worth it someday.
