Doing Good! Except for the Sugar Binge!

Sigh. Holding steady. But at least I haven't gained. I went on a sugar binge, two sodas, a bag of circus peanuts, assorted candy that screamed "BUY ME!" and "It's okay, we'll still respect you in the morning!" at the checkout counter. (TIP: That's what they all say." I just freaked. What can I say. Amazon told me it would be 6 weeks before they could get my Urban Rebounder to me and I suddenly had visions of a respite from working out. I had "AN EXCUSE." Bad Becky, bad.

So today I checked around...the company who makes the darn things takes 2-3 weeks, but Walmart promised to have it to me in a week. Amazon shipping is FREE. Urban Rebounder charges $29.95 to ship. Walmart wanted $2.97 to ship it to my door, cheaper than the $3.78 cents it would cost me in gas to DRIVE there to pick it up (which would be FREE if I did). That would drive anyone to consume sugar right?

So, I got the thing ordered. Walmart, who it seems really does rule the retail world (C'mon Amazon - SIX WEEKS?!)  will have earned my consumer confidence if they can pull this off.

Seriously, when a person wants to lose weight you have to strike, and SELL, when the desire is keenest. Once we wake up from a snack induced fast food coma after watching Home Shopping Network or surfing the web after watching Biggest Loser, chances are we might cancel that order if it's not on its way. Never give someone trying to lose weight a chance to change their minds, because studies show, we will.

Other than not logging, eating sugar, drinking soda and not getting a darn thing done because I was passed out from the sugar ....I've done sort of well. I did eat a lot of protein, veggies and salad...and drank a lot of water. I just didn't log it.  Sigh. Well, tomorrow is another day—especially since my rebounder is now TRULY on its way!

  1. If you live a week with that Rebounder AND don't break both your legs off - I'm getting one!
