BB2 on super challenge!

First of all, I want to reiterate what I said via text to BB1 earlier - I am SO proud of her for getting the blog back up and running. A few weeks ago we both fell off the wagon, but I didn't push her about it and wanted to see if she'd get back into it on her own.. and she did! It was all her idea to post on here, and I  LOVE LOVE LOVE that!

Anyway, getting into the challenge. Here is my schedule for the week:

Monday: Exam

Tuesday: study

Wednesday: study

Thursday: Final exam!

Friday: Weigh out of HealthyWage weight loss challenge. 

Prepackaged meals while I'm studying keeps me on track with foods like pasta, but we all know what my trigger foods will be: SUGARY SWEET SNACKS AND DESSERTS! Specifically:

Cookies, candy bars, kettle corn (especially the fresh stuff from Miss Cordelias, yum), ice cream (even the skinny ice cream sandwich I had to pass on tonight from my sweet boyfriend), fro-yo, powdered sugar (why do I do this to myself - i ate some straight from a bowl yesterday!), cupcakes (even though I'm going to attempt to make some birthday ones for a friend friday.. without eating any of them!). Fortunately, being stuck at home without most of these in my pantry or fridge means that I'm not going to have to work very hard to "stay away" from them.

Workouts will be the Zumba/Insanity/Jillian Michaels videos on MONDAY EVENING, TUESDAY EVENING, and THURSDAY EVENING.

We both agreed that when we see something like a cookie, we will immediately text each other about it. That will keep our hands busy long enough to get our brains in the right mindset to say NO to it. All it takes is a delay of a few seconds to keep strong!

I know how hard it is to jump-start a weight loss journey - that initial kick where you are craving sweets and haven't yet seen any results... it's miserable. I hope this gives BB1 the motivation to earn that successful feeling she's been missing for a while, and will boost her confidence to get her in the right mindset for a healthy lifestyle!
