It was dreadful. I am down a pound this week. Just one. I know that's better than nothing, but it definitely isn't as good as the 2.6 I NEEDED! I'm mostly aggravated with myself. I had to ask myself how much I want this today. It's easy to be chipper about 'lifestyle changes' when you are dropping big numbers every week, but it isn't so glamorous when the minor losses, or friggin' plateaus creep in. But I'll stick it out. I do REALLY want this.
Today we went to church, and I forgot my usual apple snack, but lucked out when the girl in charge of snacks brought in grapes along with the lick-the-box cinnamon buns. I'm sure I looked the fool measuring out a cups worth of grapes in my palm. Real mad scientist style. But I didn't want to cheat! For lunch I had the char-grilled chicken salad and a pack of sunflower seeds at CFA (our second home) and then swung by several stores before heading to pick up Rob. Of course while I waited for him I drove through Starbucks (there are only like 3 drive thru Starbucks here and it makes me ridiculously happy when I get to go to one! It sucks having to actually GET OUT OF MY CAR!) and picked up a java light with no whip. While ordering the menu board showed off their new red velvet truffle cake pop, which led me to thinking about the rocky road cake pop and all of it's chocolatey, nutty, marshmallowy goodness. I was on the verge of ordering one. Like it was going to be the next word out of my mouth kind of verge, when I thought "Do you want this bad enough to have to run for it? Will it taste THAT good?" The answer was no, and I left with just my drink. That has to show some growth, right?! If you say no, then you obviously have never had one and therefore do not understand. And I feel a little bad for you. Not bad enough to ever share MY cake pop though!
