DAY 29: Celebrating the small triumphs

Posted on April 21, 2015

I didn't make it to the gym yesterday as I had planned, but I feel OK about it. Why? Because I still:

Chose black coffee over a sugar-saturated latte or mocha at Starbucks in the morning
Chose NOTHING when my afternoon meeting wanted to meet at Starbucks
Resisted -- wasn't even tempted by -- the 2 dozen chocolate chip cookies that showed up at my working lunch meeting and spent most of their time parked right in front of me
Stuck 100% to my meal plan for the day
Have no cravings for my old weakness foods (PLEASE let this last!)
Exceeded my daily steps goal on Vivo Fit
Somehow lost a pound between yesterday and Sunday when I did the official weigh-in for my DB that starts on Wednesday
Plan to go to the gym today

GAME ON.

I really need to start tracking my food properly again. This is an awesome way to see how far I have come. We can literally see the change in all of the little decisions that we make day by day.

bahhhhh

Damn straight. I would have caved at chocolate chip cookies in my face, so as far as I'm concerned, you're basically Wonder Woman.

At any other time in my life, I would have absolutely gone for the cookies. I don't know what the hell is going on, but I'm just gonna keep letting it happen.

bahhhhh

Maybe your brain made a decision while you weren't looking. I wish mine would decide to hate chocolate. I can pass up so many guilty foods with a matter-of-fact attitude, but when chocolate is involved I have a very prolonged debate, but with a three-year-old version of myself. And three-year-old me is far more persuasive and whiny than grown-up me. Oh, to become suddenly, violently allergic to cocoa!
