Post Weekend Blues! 

1/14/08

Monday… Monday…mundane!!  Monday’s are so hard to get back into the grind of the 8am-7pm job duties.  This stress causes me to want to eat and drink more! It was tough this weekend saying “no” foods and drinks, when I usually say “keep them coming!” I just kept thinking about all the hard work I’ve done at the gym and the food choices I’ve done so far that it’s too soon to give up!  I need to keep myself motivated!  On Sunday, one of my friends brother just became a Doctor (free medical advice..yeah!) and she hosted a party at her house.  She knew that I’m starting this challenge, so she made me a special veggie and fruit tray, which I really appreciated.  However, where did she place that tray?  In the middle of the sweet’s table…are you kidding me?  While everyone was eating cheesecakes, tortas, chocolate cake, Hawaiian salad, & and Alaskan crème pie.. what was I eating? Cucumbers!!!  Ha ha ha..  the old me would have never dreamed of such a day.   I held strong and kept myself busy.  I took as many veggies as possible and placed them on my tray and headed over to the next room where I encountered the Karaoke microphone.  Oh… I’m a sucker for singing! Thank goodness for the Karaoke machine that kept my mind off of that sweet’s table and kept me wanting to sing my favorite songs!  

Like Frank Sinatra sang…

I've lived a life that's full -
I've travelled each and every highway.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Stay Strong & Be Done,
