Day 8, Challenge #2

Monday mornings are HARD.  So hard, in fact, that I almost said,"To heck with it, I need the extra sleep"  But, I didn't, and braved the cold and tired outdoors.  Took a different route today, again on the new bypass (that's not yet opened, but much more paved!), and was rewarded by seeing two deer frolicking through the area.  Frolicking is such a fun word, but my guess is I scared the crap out of them and they had to run!!!  :)  Didn't quite go 3.1 this morning, but since I went over last night, I'm going to call it good.  Plus, I will be trick-or-treating with Rachel tonight, so I'll get some walking in that way.  :)

Today is going to be especially hard on the candy front.  Cupcakes, candy, party junk at school all afternoon. Oh my.  MUST.SAY.NO.  I have 2.7 pounds to go by Friday...I can't give in!!!!

I'm drinking my coffee now, and then headed to my day.  Talk again soon!!!

Afternoon Edit.  I'm not perfect, friends.  I did awesome at the Halloween party, and didn't eat a thing.  Not a swipe of candy or cupcake or even a juice box.  I had my water filled and ready, and did wonderful.
And then I got home.  That pumpkin cake from yesterday?  The one I considered bringing to work b/c I KNEW I would eat?  It totally called to me and begged me to eat it.  Not just one piece, but two.  Ahem.  Three.  Ahem.
And now I have that sickly sweet taste in my mouth.  YUCK.  I need to eat supper and then go brush my teeth so we can go trick or treating and I won't snitch candy from Rachel.  Yuck, Yuck, Yuck.  Good thing it's only 4 pts. a piece.....

Last update for the night: I did great Trick or Treating.  I came home and tried to write a little.  It really didn't happen.  This is going to be a very long week, and my mood tonight is awful.  I am frustrated with myself for not having these reflections done, but I don't have the time or patience to do it.

I'm going to watch a little junk tv, and then go to bed, hopefully by 10:30.   Tomorrow is not too terribly busy, but Wed. and Thurs. will be awful.  Friday...well, I can write Friday night.  How's that for an exciting Friday night?  Saturday is my reward day, so I want to have something to celebrate!

Better mood tomorrow, I promise.
