Ok, first let me just tell you about how much food everyone brought to our team building offsite thingy yesterday. It was insane the amt of junk (oh yeah, I wasn't even tempted!)....there was donuts, cake, biscotti, candy, brownies, pizza...you name it. There wasn't a veggie tray or anything healthy to be seen. I just listened to everyone complain about how they were going to "gain 10 lbs today"...LOL...and then I had to listen to all the questions about "what are you eating and why are you eating that" etc. This is my first contest prep at this job. The folks at my last job got it after the first few times and never asked me the questions anymore...so they'll get used to it here too I suppose (at least I hope) because I don't want to keep answering the questions all the time.

Good news I've gotten about 3 lbs off thus far...still have a looooonnnnngggg way to go with about 23 more to lose...but since I have to struggle for every last lb to come off...I'll take what I can get. I haven't been sleeping well and I don't really know why..I am exhausted but not sleeping and I'm already hungry...guess it's going to take my body a while still to get back in the swing of things. Everything hurts and I'm trying to really ignore it. I have had a pull in my groin/hip flexor on the right for mths, my left wrist is aching and my left knee (behind the knee) is feeling a pull....and I won't even go into how bad my left shoulder still hurts from surgery...but I will press on, no worries.

This morning was just cardio - thank god because I am so tired.
