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!!!!
