Skiing, Sugar and Sundae's

Yester was great! I had a chance to do one of my favorite activities, skiing. My friend Ashley and I took off about noon and headed to a small local mountain for an afternoon and evening of skiing.

Skiing by the way is a great form of exercise. I know this not only because I have looked it up but because usually after a day of skiing you can feel it all over your body. While it may not be the best cardio activity it does pretty good on the toning and strengthening end of things.

So, we get up there and are having a great time and about 3 hours in we decide we are going to eat dinner. Now this is the same friend that three days ago told me I had to help her get off sugar. This was day three and I was so proud of her! However, just as we were paying for dinner ...there it was.... the dreaded bag. .... full of watermelon slices. And no I don't mean fresh watermelon. I do mean those (gross to me) little hunks of gummy sugar coated in sour sugar, the ones that my friends is crazy about. So she buys the bag. Again the question come of of how often does one get to celebrate. After all she had gone three days. Well, we decided for her that she could celebrate her three day but now she is going for five days before the next "celebration"! Go , I know you can do it!

I have to tell you I work with some amazing people and recently the topic of ice cream sundaes has been coming up all the time. We have been talking about our favorite kinds and the best places to get them. Well don't you know leaving the ski hill, we would just have to happen to drive by a friendly's and everyone knows that that is the best place to get some ice cream. So... did we just drive by ... no. We went in to have some ice cream. I had made some great choices all day so not sure where this once came from. I know I was hungry skiing does that to me, and all I had for dinner was a cup of tomato soup and an orange, so we split a grilled chicken and cheese quesadilla, and then the sundaes arrived. Mmmm!

Now here is the greatest part. In the past I would have finished it in no time and then even wanted another maybe. Last night though... I ate it slowly really trying to enjoy it, and then about half way through I was full and I left it. I just walked away. It felt amazing. Food is really loosing its power.

So all in all a great day! NExt week is the real test time to get weighed in.... Lets hope there has been some changes.!
