Well, I made it to Bend, but just barely. We set out to Bend at 9am yesterday, to sunny skies, thankful that we were making it out at the time we actually said we would, and that we would be able to go over the Santiam pass without blizzards and during daylight hours. We were about [...][...]

Me: 2, Sweets: 2
I’m sorry to say yesterday was not the best. I had lots of ginger cookies and broke down and tried the banana bread (which is unbelievably good, btw). Ah well, despite this I still ate pretty well. I leave tomorrow for Bend for a long weekend, so I guess I should make some plans.While I won[...]

The day wears on
Well, I ate pubmix and a small shortbread cookie at lunch. So not horrible, but not great either. Such if life…today was such a dark and rainy day, and my schedule at work wasn’t as super-packed as it had been lately, so I’ve had a major case of the munchies all day. Arrrrg…I[...]

And today….
it’s a plate of lemon squares! I think it’s someone’s goal to make me break down. But I shall conquer. Although I admit freelancing is sounding better and better… [...]

Me – 2, Sweets – 1

I felt thinner already, getting out of the shower. And after a healthy dinner, I proceeded to eat the 1 piece of kiwi-cream cheese pie left ove[...]

The training starts to pay off
Just an update to all this darn weight training I’ve been doing. After Saturday’s intense bike ride, I was a bit worried. Lately in the gym my legs started to feel like rocks; my muscles felt like they were lined with knots and they felt sluggish and tired, as though they weren’t r[...]

Day two: let the fun begin
Well, I didn’t give the banana bread away to the homeless (yet), it’s sitting in my car reminding me of it’s presence. I think I’m definitely regifting that. And look what I see coming into the office this morning: That’s a huge pile of cookies, topped with a huge pile[...]

1 me, 0 holiday gluttony
I totally scored. Not only did I keep away from the sugary stuff and keep all my meals between 100-400 cals, I had an unbelievably awesome workout at the gym afterwards. I ran 4 miles at a fast pace, I did the stairs, and a did a completely ass-kicking weight lifting routine. My HRM said [...][...]
