At the beginning of the week as I was EATING my VALENTINE'S DAY CANDY while BAKING CUP CAKES and WAITING for my LEMON CHEESECAKE to finish setting, I started to think about this post.
Mostly because I was thinking I needed to GIVE AWAY a little bit of this deliciousness before I CONSUMED it ALL, SINGLE HANDEDLY. But EVERYONE I could think of was doing JENNI'S FITNESS CHALLENGE! Bleh!
I started to laugh to myself at all of you crazy people- not eating AFTER 7pm, not eating treats like CUPPY CAKES, having to tell yourself NO! Ha ha ha ha! (that is my Evil Villain Laugh in case you couldn't hear it)
I started to think of taking pictures of ALL of my YUMMY TREATS and then POSTING them on my blog!
(don't worry, you all know me, I would NEVER get around to downloading them off of my camera!)
AND THEN I WENT TO THE GYM.
I go to the gym almost EVERYDAY. I work my butt off. I lift weights. I do spin. I run miles. I swim. I do yoga. I do kick boxing. You name it, I do it.
BUT as I went to WEIGH IN - before my session with the Personal Trainer- something STRANGE HAPPENED. The scale was OFF. Right? It was DEFINITELY HEAVIER than I remember from a few weeks ago. "It must be broken" I tried to brush it off- telling myself my FAVORITE MOTTO:
I WORKOUT SO I CAN EAT WHAT I WANT
But today- I pulled out a pair of jeans I haven't worn in a few months...
Back in September I bought my FIRST BELT. (that is right- I NEVER wear BELTS. I don't like the idea of something that goes around my waist and is CONSTANTLY MEASURING MY WAIST- so I don't wear them) Back in September, my jeans were TOO BIG and I was FORCED to BUY A BELT.
ANYWAYS, back to TODAY. I pulled out the OLD JEANS and zipped them up as I looked for the BELT. (which really IS a Four Letter Word to me) But something STRANGE happened again! Suddenly, I did not NEED A BELT! The TOO SMALL JEANS were SNUG!!
WHAT?!! (YOUR TURN TO LAUGH AT ME! Ha Ha Ha Ha!!)
I CAN'T EAT WHATEVER I WANT? EVEN IF I DO WORKOUT EVERYDAY?
SO- THE JOKE IS ON ME.
Jenni, sign me up for that Challenge- I don't care that I am month late- I need to make some changes!!
(but, I don't have to give up my cup cakes do I????)
Give your cupcakes to me. I'll eat them all in 10 seconds flat.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am beginning to feel left out. I think I'm the only one in the ward that doesn't have an LA Fitness membership. Lame.
Um, I was about to Hi-Five you for also not participating in the fitness chalenge! COme on, stay strong! I will HELP you make AND eat delicious goodies. And then I, too, will post pictures of them on my blog and fb.
ReplyDeleteDon't Do It!
;)
wow i can't believe that you have the time and energy to make all that!
ReplyDeleteTorture! 1.2 weeks to go on the no sweets thing. I forgot what sugar tastes like. I'm going to cry in my pillow now.
ReplyDeleteSeriously I'm mostly joking. Do it, I have never felt better in my entire life. I never in a million years thought I'd go a month without desserts but I am going to and it's an awesome accomplishment.
I am not doing the challenge. Everyone assumes I am because I have known Jenni for so long, but I have never done a challange and we are still friends. So you owe me some more cheesecake, lady!
ReplyDeleteInvitation is on it's way and you are in! Don't let them talk you out of it. Loved this post and that my name is in the title. When does that ever happen? Plus....I would give anything in the world to loo like you. Even give up your lemon cheesecake! UNtil my birthday of course :)
ReplyDeleteAre you really going to do it? A few days ago I was talking with some people about how some who aren't in the challenge just think it's silly and yes, sometimes I feel like a dork carrying around my water bottle, but those people who think it's silly don't get what it's really about. Last year when this was going on I never thought that would be me next year. But it's really been so awesome. I have realized that while the end goal is the lifestyle of moderation that you're aiming for but I have such a hard time getting there on my own. So this has helped me see that although I love my desserts and am such a foodie who usually doesn't deprive herself, it is possible to survive without sweets for a month and know that in the end, it's just food. I don't know why I got on here to write you a novel but I guess I'm just saying it's been great and you should do it. :)
ReplyDeleteSo this little rant made makes me realize I never see you and talk to you I have to find a way to communicate because I miss hanging out with you! Ha, we need to get together. And I'm out.
