Well, he struck! That damn cookie monster get's hold of my brain and takes over! I have worked so hard to develop good habits. I try to cook healthy foods for Larry and I and I'm usually quite successful. But that damn cookie monster! I was shopping in Wal Mart today, picking up some splenda..blah blah blah and did well till I got to the check out line....Right there, tempting me were those individual cookie packs! I looked at all the choices, drooled..and picked up a pack of 6 oreo's. I had them eaten before I got home. Of course, it's a long drive to get home....all of 5 miles!!!!!!! We didn't get that "dump" feature so it's pure will power on my part NOT to consume sugary treats. I'm not tempted by ice cream, cakes, pies, candy...just cookies....
I'm running again tonight. It's suppoesed to be my "off" night from running, but I ate those cookies...alas...I'm going to run those calories off!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to try to run 2 miles this evening...We'll see....
Dinner tonight...stuff I dreamed up in my head instead of a real recipe but here goes:
Grilled shrimp
Chilled italian green bean salad...added some chopped garlic, thyme, parsley, chopped onion and some dreamy raspberry balsamic vinegar..oh, and grated a bit of parmasean cheese...it's chillin in the fridge now!
Another successful try....I poured a bit of olive oil into my saute pan and fried some of that mexican cheese and OMG...tastes so buttery good and crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside...reminds me of an old-fashioned grilled cheese sandwich!
I will defeat the cookie monster! Tomorrow is another day...I'll have a successful day tomorrow!!! The cookies were yummy, but...NOTHING tastes as good as skinny feels!
Hugs till tomorrow!

About Me
- Beth
- I'm just Beth... A wife, mother, grandmother (yep), daughter, lover and friend. I woke up on my 39th birthday miserable. I realized that I hated everything about my life. I decided to change it! I got a divorce and turned 40 the same week. I decided to make my life one that I loved by my 50th birthday. I fell in love with my best friend and married him. I changed the type of people I made friends with. I began to read and learn. I got out of the country, gravel roads that is! I needed one more change to be the person I desparately wanted to be. I needed to be thin...I tried so many diets unsuccessfully and decided to have Roux En-Y surgery! On December 16, 2008 my husband and I had our guts re-arranged and began this journey to a healthier THIN life! I'm a blunt, loud-mouth and I can't imagine a subject that I'm too embarrassed to discuss.
