Yesterday my DH had a dr. appointment, and after that was over we went to the grocery store. I don`t know why, but I had a craving for something sweet, preferably chocolate. Now yesterday was a non-counting day (I count calories 3 days a week, and try to not to be too bad on the other days) and we had gone out for breakfast, and I had a big breakfast which I shouldn`t have. So I was going to keep it light the rest of the day. But when I got into that store, I had my mind made up I was going to get some cookies or candy. I even hit the cookie aisle and looked over everything. I think I spent about 10 or 15 minutes in that aisle alone, because I couldn`t decide. Even though I wanted something that I didn`t need, I started looking at all the sugar-free stuff first. Then I looked at all the sugar-loaded stuff, and when it was all said and done with, I couldn`t justify buying a whole pack of something that would sit around for days and tempt me. I still wanted something sweet, but I just couldn`t do it. So I went to the cereal aisle and bought a 6-count box of fruit and nut granola bars. Hubby will help me eat those, lol!
At the checkout, however, I did buy a single serving size of Hershey Kissables, and although I wanted something so badly yesterday, they are still on the counter in the kitchen. I didn`t touch them, I decided I will save them for a counting day so I can be sure I won`t go overboard calorie wise, and also will only eat them if I am really really craving something like that. I also bought some instant pudding mixes that I will make with 1% milk. I figure that`s gotta be better than candy, right?
I`m not being as strict as I guess I should be, but so far this approach has worked for me, and I`ve lost 2 more lbs. in the last 2 days. I have not been regularly exercising, however, and I believe today will be the day when I walk up and down the street a few times (gonna check the distance on the trip gage on the truck) and I think I will also get out the Gazelle that`s been folded up in the garage for the past 2 years. DH has wanted me to get rid of it because I wasn`t using it, but I told him no way, I WILL use it again. So today I`m gonna show him I meant it, lol!
I am also going to stay off the scale until maybe the end of this coming week, I want to see myself out of the 320`s the next time I step onto it. I`m sure the scale won`t mind that, either, LOL!!
I won out over major temptation
