Tonight I skipped the gym for a reason---to avoid temptation! All day, i craved KFC. I wanted original recipe chicken (skin and all) with mashed potatoes, that fake brown gravy, and their weird excuse for cole slaw they serve. I knew that if I drove to the gym, that through no fault of my own, I would find myself in the drive thru of KFC on the way home from my healthful endeavors. So, instead of facing a temptation I could not conquer, I came home, changed clothes, and went for a walk around my neighborhood. I didn't get as much of a workout as I would have gotten at the gym. I did a 30 minute walk, more leisurely than my eliptical speed, but i probably did about 1.25 miles. And then I came home and ate Russian chicken and rice for dinner with green beans. I still want KFC, but I was stronger than the chicken. And I will continue to be so.

"ten pounds by new years....ten pounds by new years....ten pounds by new years"

The weird part is--I don't even LIKE KFC-- I just wanted it.
