Who Knew??
Who knew that pineapple and grapes make a delicious dessert??!!
I've been doin' this thing, y'all. And I knew it would feel this good...why I deprive myself of being in control is still not something I understand, but I'm hoping that this Transformation Challenge will help bring those things to light. For now, all I know is that I'm feeling sooooooo much better than I have in months! I'm so thankful for that!
Don't get me wrong, I still have a bit of a cheatin' heart....I finally finished packing up my classroom and got done with a 3-day (last minute's notice) training and I felt I needed a reward. It's over a week since school's been out and I've still been working!! That never happens! But anyway, the cheatin' heart thing...I wanted pizza and by golly I was gonna have me some pizza...then I thought about how I would feel if I had that pizza. Not during, because during, I'm just in Heaven! But after...after more than half of the pie is gone...that's not a good feeling and I didn't want to undo what I'd done already this week.
So, instead of pizza, I went and bought a push mower so that I could mow the lawn! And after I assembled the thing I put on my HRM and got to work! And as silly as it seems, I had FUN and burned 273 calories! NO PIZZA! I've never mowed a lawn before. Seriously.
Then I figured, well, that's enough for today BUT I started my ChaLEAN Extreme Rotation again and I didn't want to miss a workout so I put in those Burn Intervals and did 'em and burned another 500!!! Whew! NO PIZZA!!
So, I'm thanking God for small victories. Instead, I had a nice healthy dinner with plenty of veggies and fruit for dessert. FRUIT!!! Who knew??!! 
Those are some BIG VICTORIES!
