I am a food dealer...

That's right-I am a food pusher.  It is in my genetic make up to get others to eat food they don't really want.  I liken it to be a drug dealer...I would be the shady character standing outside of the Weight Watchers meeting with a thing of cookies.  It is true.  When I was a tween-I figured out a way to get people to do things I wanted them to-feed them.  I started small with left over Halloween candy, then I got big time.  Making my own, chocolate chunk cookies-throwing in extra butter flavored Crisco for the extra special something.  They were so good, that I could literally get grades changed with a tin of those bad boys.  Through the years, I have perfected the art.  Learning to make bigger better desserts-cupcakes anyone?  How do you think I snagged Dennis? 

But, I got busted for it today-big time.  Instead of working out at lunch and eating a healthy salad.  I tried to use peer pressure to get my co-workers to try the new Pie Restaurant.  Yes, I admit it.  I tried my best, telling them that it was our last chance to get together before the holiday, etc. 

Thankfully, after Kristen was on board, she jumped off.  She said, "No, Amber!  I am going to walk on the treadmill instead."  Then Tamillo who didn't really want to go anyway, also bailed. 

Needless to say, I went and worked out and ate a healthy salad.  I am glad I lost this battle.  I feel better and know it was the right choice. 

I am giving up my food pushing ways...small steps, but I am getting there.

Okay-I am doing it.

Let me first say-Thank you for the peer pressure.  :0)  That is why I started this whole blog thing. 

So, I haven't been very good lately.  I did push the stroller and take a walk on Sunday, but let's be honest-that is not enough.  My Mom has generously donated her treadmill to my cause, we just have to pick it up (3 hour drive).  I know that will help.  My friend Kristen has also let me borrow her Jillian Shred it DVD, which I will be doing tonight after I put Carson down.  I will let you know how it goes.
