Bagel Friday's At Our Office
Our office has a long standing tradition of "bagel Friday's". It is kind of a reward for making it through the week I suppose. I just walked through the breakroom and they were calling out to me. I am working to lose the regain I have from having many bagels and other things. I was shocked to find out the carb count on those things.
As I walked by I told them "I can't partake of you, you won't help me reach my goal". They somehow lose the power if you talk to them. I have continued on to my office and will enjoy some Muscle Milk protein instead. I can do this!

Awesome, good for you!
It feels so empowering to be able to say not to something tempting. No food is evil, but it's really important for those of us working toward weight loss goals to be able to feel as though we are in control of our own destiny.
I went through a period where I was being a lazy post-op and developed a habit of getting a cinnamon raisin bagel every morning with my cup of coffee. Not only was it an empty, carb-laden breakfast that left me hungry an hour later, but it certainly didn't do anything good for my body. I quit cold turkey last January and now only treat myself once a month--never on a work day--I want that bagel on a Sunday morning when I can enjoy it *slowly* and be lazy with my husband.
Enjoy your protein! I am waiting for lunch (chicken with sun dried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, and broccoli. A chocolate-caramel kashi bar too).
