Today I Struggled - Day 5

Calories - 1,300
Exercise - 30 minute biking
Water - 64 ounces

Today me and my family met up for Sunday dinner. I love getting together with them and we had a lot of yummy healthy food, but we also had rolls and cookies. I was allowing myself to eat one cookie because it would have added to my calories for the day, and I was okay with having more. Plus those cookies looked amazing. I stood over them thinking, "Its okay, you calculated a cookie into your day," but then I thought about how crazy addicted I am to that taste and how if I had one I may be okay with having another. This can then lead to, "Well the dinner is ruined so I might as well just start dieting tomorrow..." As you can imagine, I have been down this road before. I wanted to make sure I stayed good to keep my future me healthy.

I also wanted to have many rolls with butter and jam on them. The smelled so good and looked delicious but I allowed 2 rolls by themselves and they were just what I needed to satisfy that urge. I drank a good amount of water and had a great day over all because even though it got a little ruff today, I stayed strong.

Oh, that's the best! I ate half a cookie with Macie and that was enough for me. I guess I forgot I was doing a "sugar sobriety" but whatever, it was half a cookie!! I thought you did great and am so excited that you are ten lbs down!
