So for those of you who have no idea... I am a sweets addict (which is why I have to do this in the first place) :) I love sweets and probably have some sort of sweet at LEAST once a day. Through random candy I've gotten from kids or random people. cake or treats served for small group or at school. 100 calorie pack cookies. I'm snacking on sweets all the time!
SO, today was difficult. I made it through the morning just fine (I usually do). The afternoon is hard. There's something about a sweet treat that can lift up your day. Or... at least I think it's going to lift up the day... It ends up being the same day... just like 2-3 hundred calories plus! :) But I made it through the afternoon just fine (no calorie packs at all. An apple and orange for my snacks). I got home and ran 3 miles and did a 40 minute kettle bell workout. Had some chicken and salad for dinner and as much as I wanted to snack it up... I took a walk with the family around the block instead. So... it was a pretty successful day I would say! The first day is the easiest because you're super motivated. I think the days to come will be the real test (ESPECIALLY with all the graduation parties on the way and all that CAKE!) Hopefully by the end of this week I will not think about snacks and sweets so much. Hopefully I'll keep focused on being healthy and putting good things into my body.
We'll see....

It is proven that occasional snacks are ok, so don't miss out on celebrations (cake), just lose the everyday stuff. I need to watch my carbs. You can do it! I believe in you!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Charla it is only for 1 week. Then I'll get 1 day a week that I will get a sweet (probably graduation cake!) It's just to try and get it out of my system a bit. I'm overly addicted to it!
