This has not been a stellar day for one of the two buff chicks. Actually, the day hasn't been all that bad, it's just that Becky has been abandoned not only by the other buff chick, but by her willpower as well. Talk about a double whammy! To be fair, Becky's willpower has never been exemplary--when it comes to sweets, anyway. Exercise willpower? Now THAT'S another story. But back to the missing willpower...
The day started early, as most days do. Breakfast wasn't so bad--healthy oatmeal with lots of blueberries and a smidgen of peanut butter. Then the five hour meeting. Boredom made its entrance and Willpower left the building. Deadly combo.
Becky had a healthy turkey sandwich on wheat with 3 slices of tomato and a healthy helping of lettuce, a small package of sun chips and a water. Good job, Becky. But those white chocolate macademia nut cookies! Oh, why did they have to be sitting right there so easily accessible?
"Ok," Becky thought, "I taught a tough hour-long Cycle class, ate a healthy breakfast, I can have a cookie or two." And she did. And they were oh so good--even without coffee. The meeting had not reconvened and those cookies were still sitting there. Becky casually got up and sauntered over to the temptation where she pretended to reach for another napkin but instead picked up her THIRD cookie. Oh the humanity! But, wait--that is not the end. Remember it was a five-hour meeting. There were still 90 minutes to go. The cookies were still within sauntering distance. The fit, little guy in her head was saying, "No. You have got to stop. You are a personal trainer. You know better. Eat a tomato instead." But the trouble-making big guy pushed little guy aside and reminded Becky of just how tasty those cookies were and Willpower, who apparently had left not only the building, but the entire state was nowhere to be found. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, a fourth cookie was consumed.
Luckily for Becky the meeting ended shortly thereafter. Her shame, however, lingers.
