The Aftermath

Not sure what it was.  Probably the great tan.  Makes you think you are super hot and you can eat all day without a care in the world!  Well 7 days of being home from Cabo and pigging out is an appropriate word for my behavior.  I crept onto the scale, first time in about 2 weeks and BAM the aftermath.  I blame 2 things.  1 Cabo aftermath - 10 cocktails a day and buffets a plenty will do wonders to the tummy pooch.  and 2 - the pigging out I did when I got home in celebration that there was no vacation pics in the future! Both of these monsters created a gain of a full 9 lbs.  might as well be 10 right? geez.   Well if that's not a slap in the face, what is??  How was I running around in Cabo about a week ago and feeling GREAT in a bikini??  Now I'm looking at a number I have not seen in MONTHS!  Needless to say I NOW have motivation from the scale to get back to normal asap.  Also there is a pool party on sat!  Salads for dinner please!

WOAH - Getting back on track

It has been a minute!  I blame the candy in the stock room. It has been there all 5 years I have worked here, but for some reason it took until bikini season for me to listen to the evil little voice.  When I think about it, the fact that it took 5 years to start snacking on the 100% pure CRAP goodness is someting to be proud of! But now what do I do?  It's there! and Airheads have never tasted so good.  Work got a little slower around here a while back, which caused boredom and one day a tip toeing into the kitchen for SOMETHING TO DO.  Not sure why that happens but it does.  That's why normal people should never keep boxes of candy at  home (or at work for that matter?!)  So after a few days of candy indulging and why I'm at it, what does a soda hurt?  I felt HUGE.  Well not huge but FULL and BLOATED and it was not going anywhere (even after the usual "2 day relax it will go" away period).  I put myself into gear, mostly because of a bikini bound vacation in the horizon.  THANK GOODNESS I was able to recognize the vacation is near and now is crunch time.  LITERALLY  I should be doing crunches and squats and making my body ready for all inclusive eating and drinking!  Sadly, since I had a pooch in the works, it was hard to get motivated and I already felt like had taken a step backwards.  Back to the basics I guess, eat well and all will be well.  I was able to STOP THE MADNESS. hah.  NO candy, didn't even look at it and swore off sodas and even coffee until the vacation in a month.  

(I just want to note that scarfing on candy and sodas is the exact reason I was not writing about skinny jeans hah - that was probably obvious?)

Well, vacation came and went and there were 300  bikini pics involved!  Not too shabby, and a great tan to show off.  I should start another entry now on how to eat and drink all inclusive and still wear hot dresses every night, not an easy task but someone has to do it!
