Cookies For Breakfast

Have you ever woken up, walked to the kitchen, grabbed the first thing you saw and stuck it in your mouth? Ok, so its not the FIRST thing I see. We actually have a huge bowl of fruit sitting on the counter that you have to walk by just to get into the kitchen. No, for me, I'm actually LOOKING for something unhealthy to eat. It usually ends up being a cookie, piece of bread or anything sweet.

Its not every day that I do this (or I would have never lost a single pound) but it is every once in awhile. I just wake up craving something sweet. This morning it was a handful of trail mix with chocolate chips, caramel and cranberries. Yummy!

Right after eating this I turned the tv on. It was early in the morning so the only things on were paid commercials and reruns of Angel. Anyway, I landed on a BeachBody commercial. Watching before and after pictures, people sweating and working out. It is always motivating to see all those transformations... and it always gets me thinking.. 'Hey, I can do that'.

Then I look back at all the workouts I have done over the last 3 years. Tae Bo, Kick Boxing, Tae Kwon Do, P90X, Running, Swimming, Biking, Yoga, and now Crossfit.... and I'm STILL not there. I still don't have that 'after' picture I want.

How hard would it be to bite down, get serious and kick my own ass to lose the last 20 lbs??? 60 days... that's all I need. Anyone else up for the challenge??  If you are, all you have to do is let me know by commenting on this post and then write about it on your blog. TODAY is DAY 60... yes, we are going to do a count down. My goal for the end of the 60 days? 155 lbs. Reach your goal and I may send you a little something!! I have to go sweat off my breakfast now....
