Hi all, Let's give ourselves credit for resisting temptation. Big or small it all counts. We always focus on what we did. Now let's talk about what we didn't do that was also good for ourselves.
Did you skip a full calorie soda, walk by Auntie Anne's in the mall, stop at only one cookie instead of 6?
Give yourself credit.

I resisted the do-nut holes that someone brought into work on Tuesday. That was a tough one.
Had no chocolate yesterday and no cocktails all week. Going to go back to cocktails ONLY on the weekend. So far the scale is steadily dropping. Have a great day everyone.

I only ate half a slice of lemon meringue pie yesterday. Other half is in the fridge and budgeted for later. Took a lesson from a member who said she ate half a cupcake for breakfast and budgeted the other half for later so she wouldn't eat 2 cupcakes.

Sullicat- I knew I liked you! Bourbon is my preferred drink also. Now are you mixing it with the prosecco or do you mean they are both drinks you prefer?

I hate wasting food of any kind, so with all the leftover pecans in my fridge from the holidays, I baked a double batch of Russian Tea Cakes Tuesday (probably over 200 cookies).
Not so much as resisting, but I've been working hard at getting them out of my house. I brought a bunch to work, and gave some to my neighbors. I still have about 50+ left. I might freeze some.

a co-worker wanted to walk over the student union and get a breakfast sandwich. I went with her with EVERY intention of getting hash brown potatoes with sausage gravy on them. They were out of potatoes! HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN at a breakfast place. She tried to sell me on B&G or the gravy on fries. I declined and came back to my office and ate my banana.

Sullicat- I knew I liked you! Bourbon is my preferred drink also. Now are you mixing it with the prosecco or do you mean they are both drinks you prefer? They are the 2 drinks I prefer. If I'm lucky enough to have a good bourbon on hand I have it straight but on the rock (those huge king size ice cubes, love those). Otherwise, I'll mix in a little diet ginger ale or even Diet Pepsi. But I've been drinking prosecco for years, so,long now that white wine now tastes sour to me, although I can drink a little red.

Re temptation...this happened to me today: OMG, 2 days of good choices & I fell off the wagon already. But I'm glad I did because I have been buying small pieces of rugalach every couple of days and didn't I get some today (slaps hand, shuts piehole) only to discover it tasted waaaay to sweet & I didn't want it...enjoy squirrels & birdies!
