Please, do not TOUCH the image to the left.If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that life comes at you in waves. Sometimes, you get into a rut and the "Same Old" hits you. You find yourself doing the same old thing, over and over, and your life becomes boring.
And sometimes, all of your big events happen at the same time.
This week is one of those weeks for me. I'll save THAT rant for another day, but I want to relate that to my health and diet. For some reason today, I really.. REALLY wanted to break the diet. I just had that craving.. that food addiction, take a wave over me today. I'm not sure why, but I think it's got to do with the stress levels that I've been dealing with lately. New promotions at work, having to meet call expectations at work, two finals staring me in the face along with closing on the house on Friday, it's a lot.
It's no secret that I'm an emotional eater. I get all worked up over life, and I retreat to the 99 cent Double Cheeseburger at McDonalds. It's just how I roll.
Thankfully for me, I had a healthy lunch, no cash in hand, and a wife that would beat me senseless if "Burger King" showed up on the credit card bill next month, especially since I've been working so hard.
So, just like Kevin said in one of his blogs a bit back, you feel like you're going to go on a binge, but you don't.. not because you don't *WANT* to, but because you can't get your hands on it.
Let's hear it for healthy packed lunches and empty wallets today. It saved me today.

Like I said, man - sometimes you get lucky.
Yeah, I'm drooling. Man, does that Double Cheeseburger look good!
Okay, focusing...
Kev and I looked at the calories in a Double Cheeseburger (I emphasize "A"). 480. That number helped curb the craving just a little.
Anyway, good job on not giving in (even if you didn't have a choice). Keep up the good work!
HI Rob -
Keep up the great work - it''s great that you've been able to stick to your plan so well and the workouts with everything else you have going on.
I am definitely interested in the New Year's Eve Belle Isle 4 mile walk/run. I printed off the pdf file of the registration form.

Great job!
lead us not into temptation....
hey playboy and everybody. i hope some of you were watching the biggest loser tonight. if not the winner eric, lost over 200 lbs, 2 hundred. he owns and operates a deli, talk about temptation. his motivation was just to walk his girls down the aisle, which brings me to my point...find your reason. find the true deep reason you want to be healthy. find the one thing you can remind yourself of when you do want the cheeseburgers or the pop, that will help you say no. anyway, i was inspired, thought i would spread it a lil bit. and situations like this show you can do anything you put your minds and hearts to. much love. do work
I don't know why I didn't watch this season of Biggest Loser. 200 pounds.. that's just insane. I used to watch that show faithfully, every single week, and it motivated the hell out of me (until I went to bed and woke up the next morning.
