And desperately hoping to be able to do it tomorrow!  I went outside a few minutes ago in an attempt to at least walk around the parking lot for a few minutes but these danged sunburned legs are hurting so bad I can’t get more than a few steps.  I hate this!!  What a lousy excuse for not exercising- and I actually WANT to do it!!  But on a good note, about 40 mins ago I was craving something sweet or salty and I went to the gas station next door and picked up a bag of white cheddar popcorn- one of my favorite treats.  Well, then I put it down.  Then I went and looked at a bottle of yoo-hoo.  Then I put that down.  I ended up with a can of strawberry slim fast and a package of fat-free fig newtons.  I ate them and drank the shake, and whaddaya know, my craving is satisfied and I don’t feel like I’ve blown my whole day.  Somehow through all my stubborness and thick headedness, truth is starting to penetrate!! I can satsify cravings with better-for-me stuff and not blow a whole day of otherwise good eating.  I am doubting that I will lose anything this week, with missing workouts and not being very good while on vacation last week, but I do know that I can go from here and not feel like I have to give up.  With the support from my team, and inspiration they are to me, I will not lose this fight again!!  And Jillian (Michaels), in case you thought I’d forgotten about you- I will back to calling you names in my head again very soon!
