Oh no- it’s that time again. Girl Scout cookie time. I’ve done pretty well so far, diet wise, and I NEVER buy processed foods, especially cookies and sweets. But the downfall every year is Girl Scout cookies! We have far too many Girl Scouts in our neighborhood, because every time I turn around, the doorbell is ringing with another batch of cookies!! ARGH!!! Samoas, Do Si Dos, Tagalongs, and of course, the ridiculously addictive Thin Mints. It’s awful!
All the while, though, I’m still working out- thinking that I’m at least balancing out the effects, somewhat.
Come Monday, though, I’m cutting refined sugar out of my diet. Ha! I’m a little afraid, because I really do have a crazy sweet tooth, but that’s why I need to do it.
Since November of 2009, I’ve been pretty religiously working out at least 3, and usually 4 times per week. I have definitely gotten alot of compliments, and people have taken notice. My clothes are definitely fitting looser, and I’ve definitely lost inches. However, it is infuriating how the scale seems to be stuck. It doesn’t really matter how many times my husband tells me I’m “reshaping” my body, I want to see more movement on the scale!!! I have to break through, or just go crazy!
I’m going to keep up the workouts because I know they’re working, but I really need to shake up some other things, I think, so I can get my metabolism boosted. I will get that number to change (down, not up!) And I WILL get through Girl Scout cookie season!
