The Body Follows the Mind

Now I know it's been less than 48 hours since my first post went up, but I am writing to report 2 successes. Involving Cookies. Three, if we consider baked goods. I have refused a second piece of luscious, apple pastry from Denmark, a perfectly round oversized sugar cookie WITH M&M's, and just now, I carefully examined, inspected, sniffed and counted some what looked to be homemade chocolate cookies. And I RESISTED. Besides it being 8:05 in the morning, and the fact that eating all that sugar- compounded with flour interlaced with sex on toast, er, I mean chocolate - would render me and my brain useless for the next several hours, I made a simlple decision to at least WAIT till I had something else on my stomach. I chose one of the shiny fuji apple that my mother buys by the truckload (Im working at their house as we've just moved and STILL don't have internet service) from costco.

So, YAY! ME! As I walked back to the office, I realized de repente that not only did I NOT eat a cookie...but that: 1) I was in the kitchen cause I was actually hungry AND 2) I was WORKING! I've been here since about 7:25am, and I'm getting it done. See, discipline. Small steps, single decisions. And maybe I'm delusional, but I feel better already (sinuses notwithstanding)....body feels firmer, I feel lighter, and I'm craving a workout! I'll have to probably stick to the walking, cause the arm is in disrepair, but I will be FAT NO MORE!

Come on, gimme some American Excitement!
WOO FREAKING HOO!
