Delicious Raw

There's a juice bar down the street from school and I've become a regular visitor. This morning I was running late and instead of making my usual eggs, stopped and picked up Raw Oatmeal. It's cold oats with coconut milk, strawberries, blueberries, cinnamon, and some other healthy stuff that makes me feel better about having to purchase breakfast on the go.

There were bad storms last night throughout Ft. Lauderdale and even some tornado warnings, so I stayed inside and didn't go work out with Holrich. Instead I sautéed asparagus and grilled a chicken sausage from Trader Joe's. Tonight I'm trying out Cycle Bar Davie and tomorrow I've rescheduled with Holrich.

And since I'm being completely honest here, I caved and bought Peanut Butter cups from Trader Joe's yesterday. I had five of them. It doesn't matter that they're small and covered in dark chocolate (supposedly the better chocolate), I know I shouldn't have given into temptation. So I put them on the kitchen table and told Liz that they were for us to share. Sharing makes it better....right?

Ugh. I wish I hated chocolate. And carbs. Especially bread and pasta. Anyway...

I can't say enough...

About Cycle Bar and Holrich. Seriously. I don't get to see Holrich as much as I like, but when I do, he kicks my butt. And Cycle Bar? I literally can't wait to go back every week. A student asked me what I wanted for the end of the year? I said, "A Cycle Bar gift card!" Both of these are expensive but the older I get, the more I understand that you honestly get what you pay for. I'd rather spend money on a trainer and an activity that moves me than just a gym. Just yesterday someone remarked about how I looked like I was losing weight. While I don't feel like that at all, I'm glad it was noticed.

WILL POWER (and how do I get that?!)

Ok let me just be completely honest... I have no willpower. None. I used to, but I don't know where it went. Today was our cast party for A Midsummer Night's Dream  and they had a catered BBQ dinner. Now, I know I could have watched it and eaten a piece of chicken, some green beans, veggies, and a salad. But noooo. I opted for the brisket, pork, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, green beans, cornbread, and topped it off with a Misha's cupcake. UGHHHHH. I kept saying to myself, "I worked out hard on Thursday and I'm doing Cycle Bar tomorrow." NO NO NO NO. That's NOT going to get the fat off! I have to do this balanced eating thing and it sucks because food is so good down here. Ok friends - I need prayers for WILLPOWER. Or at least confidence to rock the body I'm in right now. Sigh.

A Story of Weight Loss...and Gain...and Loss...and Gain

Since I was six years old, I've been in a love/hate relationship with food. My parents, both of whom also had their own struggles with weight, put me on a diet. I'm not sure if it was really a diet per se, but I distinctly remember in first grade that all the other kids would have Little Debbie's for snacks and I would have an apple. In high school I was a healthy size 10, but because most of my peers were in 2's or 4's or 6's, I always felt fat. I would feel guilty if I went for the dessert because I can hear my mother saying, "Do you need that?" or "A minute on the lips, forever on the hips." I have of course forgiven mom for saying that. She was only going off of what she'd been taught as a kid. And then college happened and all thoughts of weight went out the window. Not only did I gain the Freshmen Fifteen, but I doubled that and gained thirty. Throughout college I tried to get to the gym, but because I was so involved in theatre...
