First off: do I live in Canada? Isn't it supposed to be cold here? Igloos and hockey and such? Well not this summer! Sweet jeebus I am sweating my ASS off up here! This week especially is ridiculous! Yesterday I walked (I know...I'm just as shocked as you are) with the kids to the nearby splash pad, and by the time we got there (like a 10 minute walk), I was sweating so much, the kids could have stood under ME! Now, there's a lot to be said about dehydration when it comes to the scale. This morning, when I got on the scale, it told me I had lost 11lbs!!! For a second I thought I was Grace. But then I realized that my battery is dying and I've actually only lost 1lb...but still. One pound since Sunday...dehydrated or not, I'll take it!
I'm finding this challenge very motivating. I mean, not motivating enough to drag my butt to the actual gym (it's HOT out there!) but yesterday, at the grocery store, Doritos, my favourite savoury snack item ever invented, were on sale (SALE!!)...and while I did stand at the rack for several dreamy minutes picturing all the things I'd do to those Doritos once I got them in my chubby little fists...I did NOT buy any. It was almost a superhuman effort to walk away from the rack, but I did it. AND THEN...those fuckers must have known I was coming because there were 2(!!) racks of Doritos up by the checkout! It's like they knew my willpower would only take me so far, and by the time I got to the checkout, I'd be lamenting my decision, but would be too lazy to go all the way back to get a bag (or 4), so here you go, fatty! Damn you, brilliant marketing teams!!
BUT! I did NOT buy any!!! That's right! Wooooo!
Gilly - 1, Superstore - 0
Best way to start the day..ever. Being inside your head for just a minute. "Chubby little fists"...LMAO.
ReplyDeleteLove ya! Way to go on the lb. We can't all be Grace, I think she's superhuman. But YOU're SUPER GILLY! You're kicking ass in the challenge... so happy for you!!
Doritos are the Devil! Oh, and....rock on with your bad self!
ReplyDeleteYou won that round! Keep on keeping on. :)
ReplyDeleteMmm love doritos. Very good job resisting the temptation!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be +48 here in my city today with the humidex, so I feel your pain :( Just going to my car makes me tired!
ReplyDeleteThis post is so freakin fantastic on so, so very many levels I can't even stand it! The lb! the winning! all the rest!! Man, I love you!!! You keep right on rockin' it!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Doritos and it does not help that they slide past my band with ease. My husband knows not to bring them in the house. Great job not picking any up I am afraid my chubby little fists would have grabbed them.
ReplyDeleteGo, Gilly!I was in a similar predicament yesterday. F-U junk food marketing people.
ReplyDeleteThose dang impulse stands. Ugh! But good for you!!
ReplyDeleteLol! You win, you win! I know exactly what you mean about the marketing the puts just the right amount of pressure on you too. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteYay Gilly! Those damned doritos call my name so I understand completely.
ReplyDeleteDAMN DORITOS! Hey, is it too late to join the challenge? I really want to!!
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh. I actually succumbed to cheezies today...told myself the salt would help lessen the sweatiness going on here, too!
ReplyDeleteGilly, I am so proud of you. I could eat enough Doritos to fill a bathtub. Well, pre-band. GO GO GO!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteNo way could I have walked by Doritoes twice. Ever. You ARE a Superwoman fo sho! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the heat! I live in Michigan and this summer has been ridiculous.. I think it hit 110 degrees? I mean, don't I live up North because I prefer cooler weather? Guess the weather doesn't want to cooperate.
ReplyDeleteMy downfall isn't Doritos.. mine is those damn cheetos! especially the spicy ones... sigh *drool* Good job on your will power girl! So awesome!!
