The Bible is true!

Just kidding...I mean it is, but yeah, wasn't any doubt on that fact. You know how it says, "if you think you're standing firm be careful that you do not fall." Yeah...just two days ago I was celebrating how well things were going for me with my eating habits and how it had been relatively easy and freeing. So, then Thursday comes along and I am ridiculously bored at work and so naturally my thoughts turn to food. I caved in and ate some crackers when I wasn't really hungry and the whole morning was just rough. The time couldn't pass fast enough. So when I got home I ended up taking a nap rather than eating lunch and when I woke up there was a tray of still warm baked goods on my counter! Ahhh! They won't leave me alone! I ended up leaving those alone (they're for the coffee shop, and I wanted something more chocolate if I was going to eat something) and I made my own double chocolate cookies and then ate 6 of them. :P Then I calculated the calories that I had just consumed (if I had eaten the entire bowl of dough it would have been about 2095 calories :)) and to my happy surprise they were only 47 calories apiece. Hooray for substituting half applesauce! Granted, I still didn't need to eat six of them, but after being careful what I consumed the rest of the day, I still ended the day 200 calories below my goal. Very happy about that. Part of that was due to my supper, a turkey and green bean omelet. Now, don't knock it until you've tried it. I've got to use the vegetables that I've got on hand you see. So I chopped them really small and sauteed them with green onions and garlic. Then some oven roasted turkey and cheddar cheese and it made a very large and tasty omelet. It was a little odd to have the flavor of green beans...but not bad. All in all, it wasn't a bad day. While eating six cookies does not exhibit self-control, it did show me that occasional indulgences are ok, and I don't need to be over the top obsessive about this otherwise I'm just going to set myself up for greater falls. I just need to not indulge every day...occasional means not every day. We'll have to work on that. The end of the week is almost here. I'm excited to see what my results will be. Oh, I've decided that if I make it a whole month (they say that's how long it takes to make a new habit) of meeting my goals then I'm going to reward myself with a bottle of that Nivea cellulite melting lotion. I don't know if it will really do much...and it costs $10 but I figure that it will make a good reward and a little moral boost after a month, even if it's only a placebo effect. And if it helps, more's the bounty!
