Last Sunday my 15 year old daughter made cookies and asked me to finish baking them. I did and was so amazed that I was able to restrain myself (mostly because I am also doing the Great Sugar Shut Out for August), and did not eat any cookies or dough. We froze most of the cookies and I told myself that after I weighed myself on Monday, I would eat all the cookies I wanted . . . . or at least a couple!
Monday came and I was so amazed that I didn't care so much about the cookies and just had my Cheerios with a sliced fresh peach.
Things were looking good until Tuesday after work when I gave in to a package of trail mix (definitely not part of the Sugar Shut Out). Then my daughter fixed grilled cheese sandwiches that evening, which I haven't had in 2 months . . . . . and I had 2 servings of granola . . . . . . and I finished the day off with one of those frozen cookies that had been driving me crazy. When I logged my calories, I was over 2000 calories. I decided that it was one of those 10% days, where food just got the best of me. (Well, at least I got it all out of my system - I felt like I had finally DONE IT ALL!)
It is Wednesday and I am finally back to my 90% plan of following my dietary/exercise goals. Sometimes it is just really hard!!!!

Not My Best Week
This has not been my best week. I have lost a total of 10 pounds but really struggled for the first 2 days this week with exercising, feeling like I just did not have any energy. On top of that, I was nearly attacked by a piece of layer cake at a reception, and it was all downhill from there. Despite it all, I still made it to exercise all three days and to my training session and . . . . TODAY IS A NEW DAY! That is something I have learned along the way. If you didn’t have the best day (or days), it is best to just start over with your healthy plan. Count your losses (or gains) and start over. I am trying to make a life change, not a 100 day change.
