I have been rather good regarding 'consistancy' this week as I make they trek to better health. I just checked into Spark People again and found the article above. Yes, common sense tips, but sometimes I just need a reminder.
Exercise has gone well this week -- feeling great! My food choices have been rather impressive, I must say! The only binge was eating too many mixed nuts from a can in my car (healthy, but calorie dense)! And I had a great breakthrough this morning!!!!!! On the way to work I wanted to pick up something sweet for my co-worker whose birthday is today. (...What to do? What to do?) I decided McDonald's so that I could get my usual 'EggWhite Delight', so I got her the chocolate chip cookies. Apparently they stuck some in the oven, and when I got to the window they said, "Just a couple of minutes on the cookies; they are baking." Perfect (NOT!!!). Now they were going to hand me a bag with steaming hot, wonderful smelling chocolate chip cookies!! (Cookies are probably my greatest weakness.) As I sat and waited I talked with myself, reminding me what Intuitive Eating says -- so I told myself that it was fine, that if they smell too wonderful I would have one and take the other to Nancy. Knowing that I had that option, once the cookies came I was fine. I wanted her to have both, so I happily ate my 'EggWhite Delight' instead. :-) ...When I was trying to 'diet' I would have eaten both cookies and then stopped at Bojangles to get her something else. Seriously. I like not restricting myself; it feels good to be able to choose.
Happy Friday!
