When day two hits I feel like I'm starving. Recently I saw an episode of Naked and Afraid. When I was starving today I thought to myself, " those contestants would die for the food I've had today." Friends, the positive thinking was not helping, it just made me crave some roasted alligator.... In my personal struggle today I might have came up with a sort of solution. Frozen grapes! When my brother-in-law was trying to loose a few pounds a while back, he would pop some grapes in the freezer and eat them while cycling away like a crazy man on the stationary bike. So having grapes on hand I tried just that. The result was a cold and delicious snack. A bonus is that they take longer to eat frozen. Raise your hand if you have ever ate a whole bag of grapes in one setting... O.K. I'll lower my hand! I did make it through the day though, and even went to the gym! By the way, who ever thought of putting mirrors on the walls of gyms never watched their stomach squish as they did the leg press machine. Note to self: start wearing spandex to the gym.
Ta Ta for now,
Walker

Saying "no"!
Why is it so easy to say no to kids :)? In my classroom I think the kids thought it was the only word I knew. But then when you're grocery shopping it's so painful to say no to yourself! When they say don't go grocery shopping when you're hungry... They weren't lying. I said no to a donut, several candy bars, and that really good looking bag of chips. Then I went home and had something so much better... Ok I'm stretching it a bit now, I had a shake! Now that I'm sitting on my coach I'm glad I said no, but why is it so difficult to do it in the moment. My inner Fatty came out and said " Walker, eat the candy bar... You will only be happy if you eat it! Don't worry, nothing bad will happen!" Well friends, Fatty lies, it's not splurging on bananas that made me slightly overweight. I swear when I was standing in line the M&M characters on the bags were laughing at me!
