My boss brought leftover Easter cupcakes to work today, and I said no! I've also successfully gotten rid of about 75% of the candy I had in my room. So far so good
I had a small slice of chocolate coconut cake this easter weekend which I did fit into my calorie count. I also received a large chocolate bunny, which I gave to my boyfriend so it wouldn't tempt me! LOL Time to get back on track...
Congrats on you ladies who said "no" to the sweets today! I was able to resist today also! Tomorrow will be interesting...there will be cake (fortunately I'm not making it and don't have to deal with the whole batter/frosting baking testing thing). Myself and another girl are absolutely saying no to the cake, so it will be nice to have some back up if it looks really good! Her to keep me away from the cake, and me to keep her away from the frosting! I am already feeling better 24 hours sugar free. I haven't faced the scale yet. I guess I know it wouldn't be a number I like, and the not knowing gives me extra incentive to eat clean and drink lots of water before I step on again.
I did ponder throwing out all the candy instead of spreading the unhealthiness. I tossed the jelly beans and the Peeps, but I couldn't bring myself to toss the Dove chocolate. It went in the candy bowl for our clients (sorry clients!).
fashin - So with you on not 'tasting' things as I cook this week either!
Ok, dreaded WI this morning... 158.
I WILL be 154 by Friday, this icky water weight and junk must be gone!
I know this is a sweets challenge, but I feel the need to confess to pizza last night (probably contributed to my poor wi). Won't do that again either!
Congrats on everyone's will power! We might need to make this last longer than a week, I've already lost 1.4 lbs (of water weight I'm sure) but I feel much better already. I'm hoping to see 156 on the scale next WI (Monday) as I was 157.3 the week before all this, but we shall see.
ars, good luck on saying no to cake today you can do it! You're lucky to have someone supportive at work, everyone I work with is like "here have some cake, just a little bit won't hurt" while they proceed to scarf it down in front of my face. Ugh.
stargzr, we should help keep each other accountable with the tastings! I made it through yesterday but it was harder than I thought, I didn't realize how much "tasting" I actually allowed myself. Like last night when I was cooking my mom had made these delicious looking (outrageously high calorie) noodles that I couldn't have. Normally though I would've had a bite anyway just to taste them, but that one taste would probably be like 50 cals. I need to break this mind set of not counting little bites here and there cause they really add up!

fashin - I'm so in! I tend to taste anything I cook even if it's not for me and I've made it before... I know it's weird. Also, when I don't plan what to eat, I tend to wander around the kitchen and take bites of things. I always count it all, but it's irritating when I finally eat something because I've used so many calories just taking random bites! You can do this! You're already doing fabulous just saying no to tasting the noodles!!!
Had a great day yesterday...I actually went to put just a touch of sugar in my coffee at a work party and was like, "No! I can't believe I almost just did that!" I didn't have any cake or cookies either. I did have some watermelon and grapes out of the fruit tray (without the fruit dip) and my snack earlier in the day was dried apricots, so lots of natural sweetness. All around a good day. I'm off of work today, so it's a lot easier to avoid the sugary stuff. I have stopped those bad cravings I was getting for pizza and chinese food too...too much sugar is definitely a bad trigger for me.
stargzr, I do the same thing lol! But you are doing great as well keep up the good work and I will too!
ars, great job on saying no! I do eat light yogurt and cinnamon creamer in my coffee which is pretty sweet but I haven't eaten any added sugar or pure sugary products like candy and cakes at all and I feel much better too! I'm glad your craving for bad things are gone I hope mine go away soon, they're not gone yet but def getting better.

ars - Great job on passing up the sweets! You're doing so well!!
I feel less inclined now to pick up a candy, so I think my random candy high is almost gone. This is a great challenge! I also succeeded in not grazing/tasting last night. I ate what I'd planned and that was it. Yay!
I really wanted a piece of candy tonight after dinner...and I could fit it in my calorie counting, but I passed. I promised myself 1 week sugar free, and I'm sticking to it. I hope everyone has a great night!
stargzr, yay for no more candy high those can be dangerous! And I feel the need to confess... My bf grilled hamburgers on the grill tonight (lean and totally OP) but along with that he made himself some smoked sausage (which is most def not OP as there is 85 cals in 1 oz). But anyway, I could not resist and had a little bite of what was left over. It could've been alot worse but I kind of let myself down... Stupid smoked yuminess.
ars, great job on saying no to candy even when it was in your budget that's so awesome!!
ars - Great job on sticking with your resolve! You're doing great!
fashin - I so would've had a bite too, so don't feel too bad. Yum! Hamburgers sound really good!
Scale shows 155, not the 154 I hoped for today but it's close. Still haven't touched the candy and I find my cravings for it have mostly subsided so for that I am happy! I had planned leftover chicken for dinner last night and that's what I ate, but I didn't plan the bbq sauce. =/ I planned for ff dressing, but bbq sounded so much better. It fit into my plan, but I still felt guilty...
LOL!
Won't do that again either!
