I feel like I’ve made a lot more progress over the last 4 weeks than I have in the last couple months.

Within the last week I dropped 2 lbs. This is probably the most weight loss I’ve seen in a short period of time. I think I can attribute this to my workout routine which I’ve now altered to be 25-30 minutes of cardio to 30 minutes of weight lifting.

One thing I will admit to though: I still haven’t created my pages for May yet. LOL I know, I know. But I’ve stuck to my working out 3 times a week (except for last week–I couldn’t get another workout in before the week was technically over.)

Day 124 of Move More, Eat Well. How did May start?

With a ginormous bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

Yes, that’s right, I binged on a bag of Cheetos on Monday. The urge was instigated earlier that day at work. I was spending the afternoon working on Facebook graphics for a particular client that makes a popular crunchy, corn chip snack so of course I was sitting there staring at product photos most of the afternoon. The more I stared, the more I craved. What made it even worse is I didn’t bring my usual afternoon snack so I had to quell my salty thirst with some mini packages of saltines from my desk drawer.

That did not help.

I stopped by Target on my way home, picking up some grocery staples as well as a bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. “Just a few,” I thought to myself.

Man I wish I had gotten that in writing because as soon as I got home and opened that bag, Dr. Jekyll came out.

When I came to, my fingertips were tinted with red powder and I had a red powdery ring around my lips. The bag was almost empty.

I didn’t want to pretend like this incident never happened, because the whole point of this exercise is to change my ways, right? So of course I logged what I thought I’d consumed in Cheetos.
