Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh - Chocolate Cake and Scones

No more. Well, not at least until I lose a pound or two. I had told myself I wasn't allowed to have Zoe's Chocolate Cake until the scale said 125.0. It was teasing me for a week or two. It would head that way, and I knew it was coming, and then bam! 125.4. That isn't good enough - it had to be 125.0 for cake. Until last Thursday. The dog food expedition just made me need cake. Ugh. So I had it. Then I had it again last night. And I've had scones from the bakery downstairs for breakfast 2-3 times in the last week or so. Not ok! So I'm starting over and because I cheated the first time, the bar has now been set at 124.0. Once I hit that weight I can treat myself to cake and/or a scone, but then I'll have to be good again after that to lose the last 1-2 lbs that I need to. I really need to lose it now that I have to haul my butt up some monstrous hills (mountains) in California.

We also started round 2 of the Summer Slim Down Challenge this week. Friday is our week 1 weigh-in and the challenge runs through August 15. I lost 2-3 lbs last time. If I lose 2-3 more, I'll be happy.

R.I.P. Zoe's Chocolate Cake - at least for now...

Hey, at least it is only the scale that tries to stare you down. I thought that I would have just a small 3 x 3 inch square of the homemade Lasagne that I made for everyone who came over to stuff packets for the kid's triathlon. Well, now I am all bloated and my arms are covered in hives. DANG IT!!! The lasagne was soooo good, but the hives are so itchy. The chocolate cake and scones would make be break out as well.

IT REALLY SUCKS. Oh well, back to my "clean living" diet with no wheat or corn. At least you can have smaller portions or "just a little bite". I wish I had that freedom.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

You are EVIL, putting that pic of that delicious cake. I am very stimulus bound - I see cake and I want cake.

I have been eating Clif bars (there is a mint chocolate and cookies and cream) instead of cake/cookies/ice cream, to satisfy my sweet tooth.

I had my last scone for breakfast. Black berry and white chocolate. I will miss them but not the gut rot they give me. The chocolate cake on the other hand looks so yummy I may have to see if I can find a piece. Thank god stores around here don't sell stuff by the slice.

I feel like I'm becoming the Stay-Puff Marshmallow man in the wake of CdA. I'm a little too used to consuming pizza, beer and ice cream to get me through the big training weeks.

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Getting To Know You

Alright, time for a little "comment love" - a term used in the blogging world meaning, quite simply, "leave a comment!" I can see I have readers from all over the world (look at the little map a little way down on the right), obviously with the highest concentration being from this area, but I don't know who you are! (Most of you at least!). I'd love to know a little about who is reading my blog, what you like what you don't like, where you are from, etc. Anyone can comment at any time - you don't have to have a blogger or google profile. Just click on the "x comments" link below any post (x is the number of existing comments on any one post), then a box will pop up letting you type the comment. If you have a google/blogger profile you can use that, but if not, you can just click "anonymous", but be sure to sign your name or nickname or whatever with your comment. P.S. If you don't want to tell me much about yourself, or I al...
