Day 3 - Baby Steps


I ROCKED this morning!  I got up and out the door (still late, but it IS the last week before winter vacation and I noticed I'm not the only teacher on this downslide!) and went straight to work as a rational adult with no drive-through urges or internal temper tantrums - SCORE!

I had some apple slices and my chocolate Shakeology at 9:30am, and I felt great.  Burst of energy, mood improved, not hungry, and no cravings.  We had a taco bar planned for lunch today, which I was prepared for, and then my dad sent me a text asking if he could bring... dun dun DUN... McDonald's for lunch.  But I did OK!  I asked him to bring me nuggets instead of a quarter pounder (don't give me grief - I split the calorie and fat content in TWO just by making that switch!) and had him bring a small fry and a small drink instead of the usual larger ones.  AND  I didn't even eat it all because I didn't feel that I needed it. 

I was still going to go by the taco bar - "not to eat, just to socialize,""let's be realistic, you will definitely eat tacos" and decided to stay away.  I didn't feel deprived, or upset - it was all good. 

At 4:30 pm I was very proud of myself, and I was feeling great.  I even planned to get an exercise session in.  What is that quote about good intentions???

Then I was reminded of a slice of cheesecake that I had sitting in the fridge, and Krispy Kreme donuts  were on the counter, and chocolate was all around me.  I ended up eating dessert before I even dinner, while I was telling my daughter that she had to do the opposite.  Not my proudest moment.  I did end up watching my portions and drinking water, and refraining from a late night snack.  I didn't get the big workout in, but I did pretend my almost 3 year old was a barbell and did many "weight-lifting" rounds with her, which she thought was hysterical.  It wasn't perfect, BUT, baby steps are still steps, and I'm moving in the right direction.
