Bobby Knight - "Most people have the will to win, few have the will to prepare to win."

That's a good one, and it seems appropriate since I saw it after spending about an hour preparing for my day tomorrow. I know I've said it before, but if I had to do a David Letterman-type Top Ten List for weight loss, preparation & planning would be close to #1. I know for me, not having food ready opens the door to temptaion, and I usually walk through it! Since I'm on the subject of temptation, I was at Rosie's bakery, and I fully intended to buy myself a little treat. I eyed some cookies, thought about a smoothie, and ended up with... NOTHING! I definitely felt better walking out of there with nothing than if I had something. I did, however, indulge in something later that was a definite no no too, daffy. Bad girl. Just one less thing I can have come Sunday I suppose. Oh well...

I just want to gripe about a jerk at the gym. He pissed me off so bad I told my brother on him. Like he can do something from Texas. I also told my GF, who is local, and could/would do something. Anyway, I wanted to use the Smith machine for one of the exercises in my set (inverted row), and this guy (the loquacious one I've mentioned before) was using it, and he didn't let me work in with him! Can you believe it? Never in all my gym life, has someone refused to work in with me on a machine. And all this time, I thought he was obnoxious. Now I find out he's a jerk too. I'm not bitter though, I will just never smile at him again. J/K.... kinda. :)

On a final note, I got a nice comment from someone who hasn't seen me in about a month. She said 'you're losing weight! you go girl!' I'm going Mary! And I tried on a skirt that I wore to a 4th of July cookout last year. I had to pull it on over my head because it didn't fit over my hips & thighs. Even pulling it over my head required a lot of wiggling! Tonight I put it on, intending to wear it tomorrow, and it's too big. Like, give it away cuz you will look like you have no shape in it big. Yay!
