Willpower.

I don't have any.

I just spent the last five days eating everything in sight.  Granted, we had two birthdays and football Saturday to get through, not to mention Labor Day.  Still ... you'd think I'd have SOME willpower!

But no, where there is cake, there is no willpower.  Two birthday cakes.  Geez.  Luckily, our college daughter took hers back to her dorm with her, so I'm saved from that temptation.  Now we just have one left in the house.

And the football food.  I'm famous for it.  I tried to do some lower calorie or at least healthier choices, but I really didn't like the food that was healthier, and I still ate way too much!  Will try again next weekend.

At least this week there are no birthdays!  We had birthday dinners, birthday cakes - it was just an all around food jamboree.  Again, we equate celebrations with food in this family.  Not a very healthy way to be, but it is what it is!

It makes my beast come out in the worst way ...  

I'm back on track this week.  I managed to ride the bike yesterday even though it was a holiday, so that was good.  I did not get to lift weights, which is bad.  I'll try to do that today, but as I have court this afternoon, I'm not sure it will happen.  I will make the effort.

September is always rough.  Our anniversary is on the 14th and then my birthday is on the 28th.  More food will be had.  I already know I want to go to Bonefish Grill for my birthday dinner -- have my coupon for the birthday bang bang shrimp all printed out and ready to go!

All I can do is buckle down and work hard!  I have to find my willpower.  Not sure where it's hiding.  And until I find it, I need to keep the bad choices out of the house!  I'll be fine this week until Saturday - the next football food day!  I'll see what options I can come up for that one.

Oh.  And I need to stay away from that birthday cake!
