A Momentary Lapse of Reason

Good morning!

I don't know what got into me yesterday!  All I wanted to do was eat, and eat I did.  I did pretty well until I got home.  I started with a couple pieces of cheddar, then a small portion of my casserole (which was really good).  After supper I was still hungry, so had 3 scoops of peanut butter.  As if that's not bad enough, I had a serious hankering for chocolate.  Since all we had was chocolate syrup and ice cream, that's what I had.  Oh, Lordy!  It wasn't until I sat down to watch TBL I realized I could have avoided the whole binge with one tiny piece of gum.  I really MUST remember that next time!

This morning it was back to the exercise.  Billy Blanks seriously kicked my ass with his Bootcamp Mission Two.  It was so nasty, I had to put my weighted bands on the ground.  Next time I'll do it without weights, then add 1 lb weights until my arms get stronger.  Even Shelley, his right-hand woman, had to stop several times throughout the workout.  No wonder I was struggling!  After the torture I enjoyed a relaxing 22-minute pilates DVD.

Did you enjoy TBL last night?  I was surprised to see Jillian struggle.  I'll bet Bob really felt like a heel last night when Brittany had her say!

Bowling tonight.  Yay! 

Have a great day, everyone!

The power of GUM!

It's powerful isnt it?? Im thinking of buying tons of packs just for that purpose too =)

Glad you didnt feel defeated because of yesterday's binge and exercised this morning!! You're doing great

Gum

I chew so much that my jaws hurt. Glad you recovered from your lapse.  You can do this!

Bad Binges

I had one of those Monday, it was awful!

And I'm like T's mom, I chew gum SOO much. My bf and friends hate it but it helps me not eat so hey, they gotta deal.

Do you carry gum with you? I always make sure I have some in my purse.

Take care!

I had to stop several times? LOL

I forgot he has a "Shelley"! I was tripping out when I did one of his DVD's and he called my name! Man, I tell ya, Billy does kick butt!!!

I'm sorry about your little binge. It happens sometimes. Have fun bowling tonight! Hope you get many strikes!

I, toot was thinking the same thing

about gum !

Pour moi la pire tentation est au travail. Il y a toujours des *bonnes*choses comme des cocos Cadbury à vendre sur le comptoir, à 6 pieds de moi !  Au moins à la maison je peux contrôler ce qui entre.

Je ne regarde pas TBL religieusement mais j'ai vu quelques épisodes l'an dernier et j'ai trouvé ça hyper motivant.

Bonne chance avec Billy ;-)

TBL...

I was first happy to see Bob win the challenge because Jillian keeps beating him.  Then I felt bad when she started crying.  Oh I don't know!  I've grown to like them both so much.  But I'd rather go to bed with Bob!  LOL.  Love ya girl!

Everyone

is allowed a binge once in a while, or maybe not. Just dont' do it again.  I might go to bowling withmy niece and nephews on Tuesday as we have carnival holidays.  Sadly, we don't get TBL here . UK Living used to air it and even though we were always a season behind, still we got to see it. But they don't anymore.  I used to enjoy it a lot.  I love Bob and I admire Jillian.

It happens

We've definitely all had those binge-y days . . . the trick is not to let them become a habit. And to counteract them as soon as possible, which you did with that morning workout.  Well done!

TBL

I was really surprised that Jillian had such a hard time with that challenge.  I mean, how do they expect the contestant to do what the trainer can't even do. Anyway, it's going to get really interesting now!

Oh yeah, gum is my best friend.  I have to keep some on hand or I'm in deep doo-doo!
