Yesterday, and today, I am off from work. Call it an induced holiday since my doctor is home recovering from unexpected heart surgery. I don't mind time off, it is just nice to get paid, being that I am the only income for this family right now. Anyway, home with nothing to do. It is a good thing I work, without kids to take care of there isn't much to do at home. Maybe you've noticed the influx of posts lately, don't get too used to it, I will resume employment come Monday morning.
Yesterday I started the day off right with a fruit smoothie. Quite tasty but it doesn't take you very far into the morning. Still I was strong, exercised, snacked on some amazing organic Bear Naked Trail Mix and showered. Phil leaves for shadowing, this is where it can get tricky! After a small lunch I am tempted by blasted Lemon Bars in the fridge. My sweet tooth is very persistent. I take them out and place them on the counter debating my wisdom and waging war with my internal dialouge.
INNER VOICE OF REASON
Didn't you just sweat through 47 mintues and 36 seconds of calorie burning cardio and strength resistance?
Me
Why, yes, yes I did.
INNER VOICE OF REASON
Then why would you eat a lemon bar? Hello! Fat and calories abound!
Me
Well, you're right, but it's just one lemon bar. They aren't that great anyway, (seeing as I didn't make them, they need more lemon and less bar) Just walk away Heather. Walk away.
INNER VOICE OF REASON
Good, glad that's settled.
Me
Me too. (Extracting lemon bar from bag and them placing said bar into my open mouth)
INNER VOICE OF REASON
You never listen to anything I say anyway. Carry on, loser.
Me
You're right, again! In that case I will need to have two!
I did eat two! Gasp! Shock! Horror! Then I threw the rest away. The day did not recover well. Oh well, there's always tomorrow, which is now today. So far I am good, one pineapple-mango smoothie and I will plan carefully the rest. I am strong! I am capable! I am...hungry.

Heather, your blogs are the absolute best! I love reading them! You'd be proud of me... i actually finished the 6th Harry Potter book, and am in the early beginnings of the 7th. I know Im way behind the times, but hey, at least Im reading!!!!! Do you think you guys will still come out to see us? I hope so! I'd love it!
You are strong, you are brave, you will succeed. Gosh, you look so good anyhow!! What's one, or two, lemon bar(s)!? Stephanie, if you are reading this, I'm way behind on HP too. I'm on the 9th chapter of the 6th book, but I hope to have it finished by the end of my trip to AZ. Then I will read number 7. After that, I'm off to the cool vampire books that Heather just read, SWEET!
I love you post. It was great. I hope that I didn't mess you up for today.
you are too funny. i go thru the same thing DAILY too!! its the worst. i wish we lived closer and we could help each other out.
Why does "bad" food have to taste so good, while good food sometimes doesn't?! I agree that you are lookin' pretty dang good though...
SHELLEY!! HEATHER SHELLEY! I thought of it while I was doing the dishes. Now I can rest in peace. :)
It's funny how our brain works! I think you just described how every person trying to lose weight feels. I think feeling guilty for eating something makes it so much harder. I have found that it is easier to consiously try to eat healthy rather than trying to not eat unhealthy. Does that make any sense? Anyway you are looking so great I'm not sure what you are worried about!
Hey you haven't posted in a while and I was just wanting to check in. I would call you but it is ONLY? 9pm. I thought that it was later. HA! Well i will call you tomorrow and check in. Hope you have just been busy and that there is nothing keeping you away. Unless it is a much needed vacation.
