But I Want to Eat the Cupcake


Do you ever get the feeling like you’re being judged when you’re eating something you’re not supposed to?  Try living with a trainer.  With 9% body fat.  Who is also your boyfriend.  Oh, and I'm addicted, like seriously addicted to decadent desserts.  Some people black out after they have a couple of drinks...yeah, me, I black out after a couple of cupcakes.  And then I eat like 10 more.  (ps. I black out after a couple of drinks too).

FML.

So here's the deal.  I have the most wonderful boyfriend ever.  Super supportive, loves me just the way I am.  Even loves that I'm ALWAYS trying to lose that last 15 pounds.  You know the ones I'm talking about right?  And I would lose them too. Especially if I followed his super supportive, "I only have 9% body fat and I do this for a living" advice.  I'm not bitter.  Please.  The man literally plans his workouts based on his food consumption.  One time I caught him counting out how many push-ups it would take to work off the Nacho's he just demolished.  I mean who does that!!  Anyway, back to me.

I'm not saying that he judges me or tells me what to eat or not to eat in those exact words - he mostly just reminds me of what the repercussions are for my indulgence and tells me not to do it.  But yeah... uhm like most people, I eat whatever I want, blackout over a plate of cupcakes, feel like crap, see no progress with the scale, and then whine about it.  If I had a penny for every time I got the "I told you so" speech, I'd have just enough to purchase a box of donuts.  Speaking of donuts...

I went to the apple orchard Saturday to get cider.  I was so not remembering the whole donuts and candy apples part of this deal.  Of course Mr. 9% downs like 6 donuts and a candy apple, then drops for a quick 20 pushups.  Jerk.  I mean, snook 'ems.  No way I'm getting down in the mud, this is a brand new shirt dammit!  So I put my big girl panties on, mustered up some inner strength and will-power and refrained from blowing my diet (mostly because I could hear Daman’s voice in my head telling me not to, I would be upset, yadda yadda,).

Hooray!  Cortney -1 and Donuts – 0!
Eat it Daman!

    My blackout as of late has been Mediterranean food, which isn't all that bad...unless you just eat it because. It's just soooo good! Hats off to you. I'd probably starve around you guys!

    Love your post! Major props to you for your motivation. I know how tough it can be to live with a health nut. I do everything I can to avoid gym nights!

These are the things I hate about you, and yes, I'm talking to you!

Any serious gym goer knows that there are certain unspoken rules and etiquette to follow while working out at a gym.   In my many years of experience I have witnessed numerous acts of stupidity along with plain old selfishness.   After a recent visit to the gym I was inspired to share a few of my pet peeves.   I have listed a few below (not all of them, no one needs to know what a crazy lunatic I am) for your reading pleasure.   Pet Peeve #18 So the other night while I was at the gym working out I had to stop myself from marching up to this idiot and give him the “WHAT FOR,” as my friends like to say. This D-bag that felt is necessary to rack the leg press machine with 12 45lb weights, do one set with not even pressing half-way, and then walk away “forgetting” to un-rack the weights.   Like I don’t want to get my work out by cleaning up after you buddy!   I refrained from bitching this guy out (mainly because Daman wasn’t there to back me up), but ...

Stop Sabotaging Your Diet!

It's pretty discouraging when you work hard at the gym all week long but then somehow seem to magically sabotage all that work!  Here are some of the ways we sabotage our weightless goals. Binging on the weekends – It’s so easy to tell yourself that you deserve that bottle, uh…I mean glass of wine or that giant slice of cake because it’s the weekend and it’s only this one time.   The next thing you know it’s been two days of overindulging and then Monday morning is here and my pants are a little snug. Letting your cravings take over– When trying to lose weight it’s easy to feel deprived. Unlike the every day normal hunger that we all feel every day, cravings, are strong yearnings for certain foods. Emotions, situations, or pleasant can trigger a craving.   I definitely am an emotional eater and I will give into these cravings and then overindulge and feel like even bigger crap!   Sometimes it is easier for me to work through these cravings and other ...

The Juice Fast

Recently after feeling run down, tired and frustrated with my lack of results with losing weight, I decided to try out a juice fast after watching the movie "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead".  I knew it would not be easy but I was determined to make a change.  Here is a journal of my 8 day adventure.  Day 1 – I am feeling great! I am pumped like, “Yeah! I am going to do this”!  Made it through the day without any temptations distracting me.  It was cucumber, celery, kale and green apple juice for me today! Day 2 – Still feeling good, a little tired and hungry but nothing like a hangover.  Started off with an apple, carrot, lemon and ginger juice this morning.  Sipped on my green juice all afternoon.  This isn’t so bad. Day 3 –  I miss chewing food!!  Ugh.  But day 3 of any diet is always the hardest right? Daman is super sweet and supportive. Day 4 – I made it past day 3, it should be smooth sailing from...
