saturday

weighed in........149.2 today I go to Jackson Ms to a body building competition with Tracy the ttrainer. Nervous about going. Why just because of the people.....not how they look just that there will be alot there. Big crowds. Yesterday was 12 weeks of working out and training......I started at 170......and wearing a tight 14 jean. Today 149.2 and wearing some 8's and some 12's (those are jr sizes...hehehe). I once again have to get serious. Take my workouts for real and eat better than I am. I have not had a coke in a week and that is like losing my best friend. With every issues good or bad I could count on COKE being there. I walk around feeling like something is missing.....its tha can of Coke I always had in my hand. How do you get beyond this??? Who knows. Sounds stupid huh?? Giving up food was easier......... Oh well have a good weekend everyone check in and be safe tammy

Tammy, That's great progress! You should be soooo proud of yourself. I really admire your determination! I am feeling so weak willed lately. I haven't had the soda issue (about the only one I don't have) but I am also really struggling with giving up sugar. I am trying to get off it completely before surgery (as well as white carbs) but it is SUCH an addiction. Did I mention that I'm a pastry chef too? I'm not working out of the home right now but it makes things really hard because when i want something I just pull out the old mixer and half an hour later - Bob's your uncle!  Crap, guess I need to think about REMOVING the baking stuff from my kitchen. It SUCKS because it's the process of it that soothes me too, not just the snickerdoodles... Well, didn't mean to hijack your post. Just wanted to say I think you're doing great! Tammy V.

Way to Go, Tammy!
