[Un]Changed Woman

Many have asked us if we think The Challenge has changed our eating habits for good. Yes, I do think we will forever think twice about what we eat but No, I don't think it has really changed my cravings or my weekly need for pizza (seriously, I think it's an imbalance of some sort!). In fact, we are on the home stretch (final testing is this Saturday!) and I can't wait.

Today my coach and I went spinning after our resistance training class (you know, just to change things up a bit- I really don't know what iIwas thinking to suggest it!) and before that I had mentioned that I was thinking about going to a kickboxing class tonight instead. So she emailed me this afternoon and said:

"Are you wiped out tired? I sure am…but I dare ya to do KB tonight, I know you have the energy left! Go for it."

To which I responded (and I'm sharing this in it's entirety just so you get the full idea of my Saturday plan):

"Are you kidding?! I feel like someone punched me down there thanks to my bright idea of going spinning this morning. Between resistance, spinning, and then your little mile jog idea after I almost died on the bike, I just got up from a two hour nap and I’m thinking of going upstairs and going to bed. And yes, it’s only 7:30. And no, I don’t care. But I’ll be at KB tomorrow morning, don’t you worry.
And in case you’re interested, here’s my list of food I’m planning on eating on Saturday. And yes, I do have it taped up next to my laptop. And yes, it is the best motivation I have right now.

Just to get started:
 - Casey’s donut with pink frosting & sprinkles
 - Pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks

A little after that:
 - a b-bops run for LC on the way down to Winterset

Have I mentioned it’s the annual Covered Bridge Festival back home this weekend full of great food all around the square?!? Coincidence? Definitely not.
 - Steak sandwich
 - Pickle on a stick
 - Old fashioned cherry coke
 - Pork loin sandwich (yes, I have to have both pork and steak- it’s tradition! And yummy!)
 - Fried bread (possibly two since I’ve been craving them so much)

And I might come home after that and have a big spoonful of regular Skippy peanut butter, just because I can! Right before the pizza delivery guy comes.

Great. Now I’m hungry. Guess I’m off to the kitchen to munch on some tuna and celery or something before I go to bed. Mmmm… "

I don't know why she thinks I have a bad attitude about all this or why it might seem that I haven't bought into the whole eating plan.
