For the last several weeks I have been working really hard at going to the gym and I feel great. I have more energy and I am getting back into my "gym rat" mode. There comes a point when working out is something I look forward to everyday and I don't dread dragging myself in there. I feel like I'm to that point now. I started spinning again. The first class I took I really felt like I might literally die from lack of oxygen but now I can go the full hour and still have energy at the end. Skinny(er) me - 1, chunky me - 0.
My biggest demise is my sweet tooth. This morning as I looked lustfully through the glass of the pastry case at the most beautiful chocolate cake donut with smooth creamy white icing and sugar sparkle sprinkles I had ever seen I had to muster up every bit of willpower I had to turn down its inviting gaze. I always want what is not good for me. It's a love affair... and it's complicated.
So far I have lost 2 pounds of the 6 that I gained the week I was in Atlanta. Although it is not happening as fast as I would like, at least the dial on the scale is moving in the right direction. We're planning a girls trip for my mom's birthday in Vegas the first weekend in June and I'm hoping all the money I save on not eating sparkle donuts I can invest in some pants in a smaller size... sans the muffin top.

I guess watching the Biggest Looser and listening to Karen isn't going to do it is it? I just hope I don't blow a lung....
I'm with ya on the sweet tooth. I can pretty much avoid everything but when it comes to delicious donuts...I'm a wreak. So thanks for the tantalizing description and pictures...you're little bug is so precious!! It's worth a few battle wounds for such a cutie. don't you think?
Keep going cuz! I'm trying to muster up the staying power to begin also..But yeah for you.
