I wish I'd never bought them. That's a big struggle for me - is to make sure I make the healthiest choices at the grocery store! If I'd never bought them I'd never have a chance to eat them! But, there they were. I thought about just diving into them and saying 'To HELL with it!', but I didn't. First of all I ate a clementine. I had brought plenty of food with me today, so I wasn't STARVING! In fact - I'd just made it through Costco without having to do any squats (that means I ate no snacks!!!). I was close to grabbing some sweet potato fries, but there were SO MANY people in Costco - I'd feel weird doing squats in the middle of all of them! So, I just kept walking.
Anyhoo - I counted out 6 of them (there are between 6 - 8 in an ounce) and I absolutely savored them!!!! I was very happy about it. I could've gone HOG WILD as I'm known to do every once in a while, but I didn't. I showed restraint. This is a new thing for me! :) I have to keep telling myself that having SOME of a good thing is ok, but having a LOT of a good thing is what got me to 210.2 lbs in the FIRST place!!!!! I will always find room in my points for chocolate, but I definitely need to make sure I've had my fruits, veggies, lean protein & whole grains first. :) Oh - and my daily cup 'o joe!
I had a weak moment tonight. Actually a few of them......
1. We boiled tonight. I have a VERY hard time staying away from the spiggot - so I estimated that I ate about 4 T. of syrup. It was SOOOooo good! :)
2. When we got home I spied that same damn bag of chocolate covered almonds - so I grabbed another ounce. I just couldn't (didn't??) stop myself!
It's all tracked. I'm dipping into activity points now (which I do NOT like to do). Luckily tomorrow is the last day of my week. Then I can get started again! I'm going to be boiling again tomorrow, so I'll just have to keep my mantra in mind. Skinny tastes better than syrup. Skinny tastes better than syrup. It's crap, but I'll keep telling myself that! :)
I'm tired - no nutritional diary tonight. I was at 37 PP.
I'll have a GREAT day tomorrow! :)
