My addiction

I have a problem: I'm addicted to sugar. I realized this while cramming a chocolate chip cookie into my mouth this morning and simultaneously finding a spoon for the angel food cake/strawberry whipped cream combo I planned to eat after. The image below is what comes to mind when I picture my love of sweets (maybe I'm an elf?).

Awesome movies aside, I decided that this sugar issue is a problem. I mean thank god I don't really drink alcohol (relatively speaking) or else we would have a real problem on our hands. Couple this issue with the fact that I don't have a regular gym membership during the summer (every year it's a constant battle between the heat and my motivation to do the only physical activity left to me: running) and you've got my love/hate relationship of the season: The Biggest Loser, Cardio Max. 

I hate them so much

I looked into the p90x and Insanity programs but there's no way I'm willing to dish out $100 on an exercise system that I might not even use. My mini pitch for my alternative is that it combines the cardio and weight training needed to actually see results, all in a quick half hour workout (which cost me $15). It's a 6 week program, just like all the others. I'm currently on week 2 (I do it 5 days a week), and after the first 3 days, where I could barely walk, it's going pretty well (though the jumping lunges still make me want to cry). 

I'm thinking I want to step it up a notch though. If I clean up my eating habits I'm sure that I would see better results at the end of the program. But like I said, it's just so hard to give up my sugar and chocolate! Not to mention that I work at a restaurant that serves THE best pizza (with ranch of course!) on the planet. I've been working there for 5 summers now, and I'm still obsessed with this damn pizza!!! I'm a pizza loving mess. 

I realize that I can't limit myself from the noms I love. The more I try to restrict my diet the worse I end up eating, plus life is too short not to enjoy some treats every now and then. So perhaps a compromise can be worked out...where there's a will, there's a way!

Can't stop, won't stop. It's froyo so that's ok right?!
