CHEAT!!

Yes, I succumbed to temptation on Sunday and picked through leftover party items that definitely aren't on my menu. Oh, things like Hot Pepper Trio kettle cooked chips, chocolate cake, fruit salsa and cinnamon chips. . . . this weekend's party, I buy the food. None of this stuff where people show up with things I can't have and leave them here post-party!

I ended up 1 1/2 lbs. up on Monday -- hopefully mostly water weight. We'll see how I am by Friday. I need to check and see if I will have any days to "cheat" and have some summer fruit, a glass of wine or beer, anything that I know I can't have until OCTOBER!!

My lifting is going ok, but I am drained of energy.

On a funny note, I watched for first disk of the posing DVD and it is awful!! The cheesy guy is so unbelievably 70s porn style, I keep expecting him to peel off his shirt and start funky music in the background. And he always repeats himself!! Michelle and I decided after the competition, we're going to watch it together and do a shot or a drink every time he says one of his stupid phrases (I've mentally blocked it from my mind and have to watch disk two to get the damn phrase again)!!
