99 Problems but a Squat Ain't One

99 days DOWN - 98 to go! Today one of my friends promised me to a pact to do 20 squats every time I went to the bathroom. Well, that was rather funny in heels but I complied! I've done 100 squats that I normally would not do in a day and 20 was enough each time to raise my heart rate. This pact was part of the Build Your Booty free buns challenge my friends and I are hosting this month. We offer challenge groups ALL the time and the squats are just a sliver of the madness we conger up!

My nutrition went well today though I can feel the effects of allowing some sugar in my diet this past weekend. I find myself wanting it more than usual. Once I started Shakeology, the sugar cravings curbed which I attribute to a complete miracle (consuming 70 superfoods in a yummy shake is a miracle - THANK YOU SHAKEOLOGY)! Every now and then, I indulge though and when I do - I immediately enjoy it (Mmmm) and then regret it a day later because I find myself wanting more.






Sugar is like that. I read a study once that reported sugar to be more addictive than cocaine! Say what??? Think about that next time you ponder the purchase of a candy bar in line at the grocery store.

Today, I found myself having a difficult time passing up a piece of my favorite cake. I held the desire at bay for hours and then when I finally gave in, I had a very small sliver and was completely satisfied. I'm not going to beat myself up. In fact, I'm proud that I only had one, SMALL serving. I chose one with very little frosting and it's not going to ruin me.

Tomorrow is a new day and a chance to conquer my goals. I started looking at bikinis online tonight. I've never made a single purchase from Victoria's Secret and I'm honestly considering taking the plunge as I get closer to meeting my goals.
