Shelley: Day 62 - Sugar Cookies, Seriously, Sugar Cookies
First, Cindy, I just want to say Whoot Whoot!!! Way to go! 16 Lbs is nothing to sneeze at especially considering you traveled and V-Day came and went. We are going to crush March!
Ok, so, so far I haven't need a confessional but I am going to fess up today. I've been doing really, really well and I thought I could handle making a giant sugar cookie without eating a bunch of it. I wanted to practicing making one for my Sister-in-Law who is going on a mission to Kobe, Japan. I am going to make her a giant missionary name badge, well, I was going to. I've since decided that I cannot be trusted around so much sugar, butter and frosting!
I made two giant cookies, the first being WAY overdone and the second perfect but shaped like an egg. I decided to decorate the egg and take it to my neighbor for her birthday and I was doing OK ignoring the sugary goodness until my kids started asking for some. Since I had to cut them slices of the overdone cookie I shaved a bit off for me. I do this a lot which is why I have a "Random Snitching" item that I add the calories into on my food log. However, apparently, I lost my mind and kept going. I think I've had close to 700 calories in frosted sugar cookie today and given that I only burned 818ish calories at the gym it killed the day.
The good news is, tomorrow is another day. The bad news is, I have A LOT of running to do!
Here's today's embarrassing breakdown:

BMR CALC: (1,721+818)-2,206= 333 Deficit for today (But I feel like I'm forgetting something, so I'm guessing that is a bit overstated).
TODAY'S TIP: Stay away from sugar cookies!! And if you're an addict like me, don't make them! I have actually made 2 Tbsps of frosting before to satisfy a craving and I would have been better off doing that than making a giant cookie. I think I'm just going to suggest they buy a Costco cake and have them decorate it like a missionary badge. I am 100% the kind of person who has to just run from temptation. Only healthy food in my kitchen for the duration. If I wasn't trying to lose weight, this would be no big deal as long as I was working out but I am seriously sick of being fat. This war is so on! I am shooting to be more aggressive in March. I want to drop another 15 lbs in March and I know that will take focus!
Cindy, thanks for inspiring me and not giving up! PS. I have some adorable dresses and clothes for the wee ones so I'll be swinging by sometime to drop them off!
Until next time!
