Hello... do you know my friend, Cinnabon??

[Guest guest]

Hope you are all off to a good start this week. I am still more behind than getting caught up on the posts, so thought I would at least toss out an update or two on me as the week progresses.

TOM showed up today. This is an ok thing, I guess. I don't feel like I gained 17 lbs (LOL) due to the trip and now TOM, so this could just be a good week on-the-scale.

Anyway. I am W-A-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y over my points this week. "SOME" of my eating choices were alright this weekend. Others were extremely compromised. I'm not concerned. I only get to see my hunny a handful of times a year and only eat in restaurants "like those" when I am with him. OK, so a visual? You know in the realm of WW that you "get" your daily set amount of points to eat, plus an extra 35 "flex points" for the week and then any activity points you earn and want to "eat"..... well, it is usually my goal to come in just under the total for the week of all of those, if not break even.

Don't ask. But, like I said, I am WAY over this week.... maybe to the tune of 50-70 pts. Yikers. Hey, at least I wrote them all down. Owning up to it is half the battle LOL!!

I have to tell you, if you go to Olive Garden and it is still on the menu, get the apricot chicken from their garden fare menu. I only ate half of the food, so it came in at 5 points!! The breadsticks are only 1 pt each and I couldn't figure out the salad, but there's not much to it other than a little cheese and a handful of croutons LOL!! I don't think that "dressing" they put on it is "bad"....

Remember last week when we had SEVEN inches of snow to shovel in the morning (Wed)?? My arm hurts so bad still!! I have been babying it, but it sure hurt last night at Curves. Tonight's my off-night from Curves, so not an issue, but I might have to C25K stuff or a video with no major arm work until this heals completely. I know it isn't broken or anything, just overworked on the shoveling last week.

This week.... it is the DEEP FREEZE in Spokane. Our annual Arctic Blast. I am not sure the technical, weather related term for it (other than mother nature is not nice to freeze us out this way) but it feels like the south or north pole here right now. It was 14 degrees outside this morning. I don't think that was counting the "wind chill" - oiy!!

Do you know my old friend, CINNABON?? You know those... oooie gooooooie cinnamoney goodies with frosting out the gazoo on top??

Yesterday, our team lead brought two boxes (dozens?) of the mini-bons for the team. I went back, opened the box and leaned over to breathe in the yummy smell. I don't think you have to count points for sniffing.

Someone (ok, several someones) said "go ahead, they're small... can't hurt you, blah blah blah" like the food pushers they are and I said "nah, don't want one.... just want to smell them LOL!!"

So someone else said don't breathe all over them. I said I am not breathing OUT, I am breathing IN!! Hahaha!!

Sure, I could have had one. Sure, it wouldn't have "hurt me" (not like it's going to karate chop me.) But, I know how it would have made me feel afterward. So I walked away.

That was yesterday.

Today, the remainders were still there. Probably half dozen or so of them. I saw that and part of me got excited that there were leftovers LOL!! So, again, I picked up the lid and looked/breathed in and then walked away.

Cinnabon = 0 = 2

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! I did it!! Thank you God, for strength to walk away from goodies!!
