So, despite being in a really good mood yesterday morning and despite how motivated I was yesterday morning, I had a rough evening. Ray made bbq chicken. I made corn on the cob and mac & cheese. I was actually REALLY good. I had a piece of chicken and two corns on the cob. I didn’t even take one tiny bite of the mac (it has 270 calories in one cup!). I was feeling good about myself. But , I wasn’t satisfied at ALL. Even though my stomach was full. I was SO tempted to eat all the mac in the pan, but I DIDN’T. But I did get a bag of my diet popcorn out and make it. Ate the whole thing – 240 calories. Still feeling fine about my day because I was still within my calorie limit. Then I had a diet popsicle – 10 calories. Still feeling good about myself because I was still within my calories. But STILL not satisfied. I went to get in bed and Cayden’s salt and vinegar Pringles were sitting there right by my alarm clock. I broke, after all the willpower I had with the other stuff (did I mention Ray was eating caramel popcorn and it smelled SO good! BUT, I only ate 4 of the Pringles – about 40 calories. So, really I did AWESOME yesterday considering how bad I wanted to eat everything, and a lot of it.
I didn’t realize what the problem was last night, but this afternoon when my period started, last night made sense. I’m SO happy that I didn’t cave! I feel really good about myself for getting through the night. I could have easily eaten ALL of Cayden’s chips. Oh, did I mention Ray brought home a HUGE barrel of cheese balls (like cheetos, but round)? I’ve been able to avoid them – which was nearly impossible last night.
And I did my hour on the treadmill this morning too. Go me!
