Putting myself to the test...
Jun 28, 2009
I guess because I don't have enough tests or stress in my life, I have tested myself to see if I could resist. Last night my partner and I were out and I asked him is he wanted to stop for ice cream. I told him I knew I couldn't have any, but I would be willing to buy him an ice cream cone. He accepted. Then today after church there is a group who typically goes out to breakfast. I really enjoy the fellowship we have at these outings, so I said let's go. I forgot to bring a protein bar or anything to eat, so while everyone ate, I had decaf coffee and water with lemon. I refrained. Of course both times Bryan was with me, and he would have put up a little fight if I had ordered anything. I'm home now, I just ate and I feel good that I was able to refrain from eating something that isn't on my program. Yesterday, I walked so much that according to my pedometer which is built into my cell phone, I put out about 142 calories more than I took in. That's pretty awesome, I can't say that my body is used to that since in past months I only put out 1/8 of what I put in. So overall I leave this weekend behind feeling some accomplishment! I'm 9 days for surgery and working hard to make habits that will keep my weight loss and maintenance go for the rest of my life.Have A Great Day!
