Today I fought my urges and deprived myself....and its a good thing. After work today I really felt the urge to have ice cream and be lazy instead of working out. That horrible post work feeling of being tired and not wanting to do anything. Instead of giving into my cravings, I went to this website and read some inspiring posts then got off my ass and did my run/walk at the park. I came home and prepped my dinner and made food for lunch tomorrow as well. So many positive things came out of this evening. Instead of giving into my cravings I deprived myself of the things I was craving and instead turned my evening around.
I'm feeling mentally tough right now and thats what I need to make it through the last few days of this round. I know I can do it if I stay strong. I had a mental laps while on vacation for the last week but still managed to workout a little bit. But making good choices when it comes to food is my biggest challenge, I'm always going to have to be careful with what i eat. But I know that I can do it if I keep taking each day, each meal, one step at a time.
