Donuts Again

So I've been slacking on keeping up on my blog. It's been nice not having to go to school and working out during my workday, when I get home I can just chill. When my wife is working I play a video game and when she isn't we just hang out and enjoy our time together. I have been trying very hard this Christmas time to stick to being good. I am actually very happy about sticking to my diet and working out everyday. I feel ten times better, and I noticed that I am starting to have a greater resistance to food. Whenever I feel like I want to go crazy with the food I remember what I am doing this for and it helps me to make it through the day.
So what is there when I came in to work yesterday? Fruit pies from McDonald's which I don't have a problem turning them away because I used to work at McDonald's and I don't like some of their food. When I came in today their were donuts, again. This time from a specialty bakery, so you know their good. I struggle with this everyday, but I place a phone call to my wife and she is always there to help me overcome those urges with words of encouragement. So I sit here eating my oatmeal and banana while everyone around me eats them up.
I have to talk about my experience with my friend from work and our workout the other day. He was already waiting for me when I walked outside and he had his backpack weighted down with 55lbs and he starts off with the pack on his back. We started walking away from our building to the west. We walked for a while and I took the pack and we continued to switch off. We probably walked a little over a mile and then I had the pack on my back we sprinted to the front entrance. I felt really good. My cardio training has been helping me. When I woke up the next day......my traps and my calves were throbbing. It was a great cardio workout. So I think that I am going to buy one of those bags and start adding a little training like that into my workout.
Last night my wife and I broke down and made Christmas candy. One of our neighbors gave us a recipe for fudge that was pretty easy, so we made a few pans of fudge. Normally I would have eaten half the pan and also finished off most of the chocolate chips that went into the fudge. Instead I had a few chocolate chips and my wife and I had a couple pieces of fudge and then put it away. I didn't feel super sick except for the fact that I haven't eaten any chocolate like that for a while so I think if I ate any more I would have thrown up. Then a different neighbor came by and dropped off some cookies and a Christmas card and I two cookies and that put me near the top. I didn't feel too bad because I had a really good workout, and this was the first time that I had splurged like this the whole Christmas season. All I can say is thank goodness for my workout today. Merry Christmas!
