So this is going off of my 'to cheat or not cheat' blog post. I mentioned in there that sugar is a huge culprit for me, in the form of candy, cookies and cake. That I'm fine if I don't have it but if I do it's like flipping a switch. And ironically enough extra dark chocolate does not have the same effect as milk or white.
I was chatting to a co worker who has been training with a personal trainer for the past year and has lost 20lbs and firmed up tremendously. She told me that soda is a huge trigger for her! Without me even getting into my story she basically took the words right out of my mouth with it flipping a switch. She even went on to say, it's either a yes or a no when it comes to soda. There is no moderation with how my body views it. I felt this to be tremendous evidence towards realizing my own sensitivities, or at least the ones I am feeling somewhat in tune with.
Yesterday was a big deal for me. The reason being that I had made my weigh in. This was it. I could cheat. I could go to the grocery store and get whatever my heart desired. Well realizing how far I've come and how much of a set back it really would be to go off on a food tangent, I settled for 2 glasses of red wine instead and an organic dark chocolate bar. These are things my trainer said I could have weekly anyway. I went back to my clean food and am going to keep on trucking!
Happy Sunday!
