Month of Motivation - Bwahahaha
I'm learning that I shouldn't make these broad sweeping statements about my plans for the month ahead without consulting my horrorscope. This month so far has been a total exercise in frustration - and that's about all the exercise I've been getting.
I'm still hovering at 170 pounds this morning. I'm going to stay off the scale, and work hard this weekend to stay on target with my eating and exercise.
Oh, that's right. I haven't been exercising.
Do you want to know what is really killing me right now? (Yes, Jenny! Tell us!)
The knowledge that the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks is making me crazy. I haven't had one yet, and I'm determined not to have a single one, unless I've lost another five pounds. When I step on the scale and it says 164, I'm treating myself to my beloved PSL. But not before.
I'm off to jump on my trampoline for one hour. That's right, an entire hour of jumping. I've got CSI on TiVo, and no kids at home.
Oh! Please check out The Mom Trap - Kristen is running a wonderful contest to reward a deserving mom - go read all about it, and spread the word.

Forget the pumpkin spice latte. Get a manicure or do your hair as a reward. Look at the ingredients - surely there must be dog crap in there. Can't believe I'm posting this as I always reward weight loss with food.

Hey ~ you and I are on the same darn exercise program. Problem is ours is counterproductive. With other people, the more they exercise their pounds start melting off. When dealing with this exercise in frustration deal... stress has a tendency to pack on the pounds!!!

I totally had one of those last week. I ordered it decaf, soy and in the smallest size (what is that? tall? I hate Starbucks' uppity sizing). I didn't, but you can always ask that they go light on the syrup.
Now I'm wondering what would happen if I just made one at home using actual pumpkin spice...
