Enemy . . . Thy Name is Hot Fudge . . .

So it's like I make a goal and then instantly sabotage myself. I haven't exercised in a while because heck it's hard! lol. I'm not one of those people that gets addicted to exercise but I wish I was. I did the 30 day shred video once and then it hurt so much the next day that I never did it again, I really need to get into doing it every day but for now I'll take baby steps. BUT I've been really good on my diet change (lifestyle change) and lost weight down to 165 lbs and the other day discovered I could fit into the size 10 Old Navy jeans I bought over Christmas for a good deal. That was one of my goals and I did it! Now just because I fit into them and can do them up doesn't mean they look good but like I said baby steps lol. I'd like to put them on and not have a huge muffin top hanging out the sides but the fact that I can do them up without having to dance is awesome!!! Then after being able to wear them I promptly start eating like crap again, why do I do that to myself? I had a mellow yellow on the way home from a late night dessert run thanks to my wonderful husband saying "Hey you know what sounds good?" and rattling off all kinds of desserts. I went to the store with every intention of getting what I usually do for myself : Low fat double churned vanilla ice cream and Diet A&W root beer for my low sugar/fat root beer floats but when I got there I really started to crave hot fudge or more specifically a peanut buster parfait from Dairy Queen *drools* oh man it was bad. So I went over to the hot fudge and they had no sugar hot fudge, I picked it up and gazed lovingly at the full sugar stuff. Walked away, got some peanuts, got the low fat vanilla ice cream and then turned around went back and traded the no sugar stuff for the real stuff. I figure if I'm going to do it I may as well do it right, bad decision! It tasted so good but afterwards I felt so sick to my stomach, my body is SO not used to sugar like that anymore. Oh well it was worth it and I'll just get up early and do my workout and make up for it is what I figure. So yeah I gotta get back on the bandwagon, I haven't gained anything back but I haven't lost any either. Today we booked our trip to Las Vegas and I'd like to look somewhat ok and feel confident in a bathing suit while we're there. We are going to be staying at the Las Vegas Hilton which looks so nice and is a 4 star Hotel! When I finally hit the button to book everything I instantly just wanted to go now lol. April will get here fast and I can't wait to witness my sister in law and her fiance Eddy's wedding, so excited for them! Alright back to working out, wish me luck!
