Today was trial by fire day. A girl can only stand so much temptation. :( I got up at 5 and made breakfast, which was a strawberry/granola/yogurt parfait, 2 strips of bacon, and 1/4 cup scrambled egg beaters.
Then we were out yard saling all day. Seriously, 7 hours of yard saling. But I planned ahead and packed my morning snack and lunch.
Snack was 1/2 cup ricotta cheese with a handful of slivered almonds, a chopped pair, and a pack of Splenda. It sounds awful, but it was actually really good! By the time it was gone, I was sad to see the bottom of my bowl :(
Took the kids to Best Way and I snuck my salad in and ate it. Anyone who knows me knows that this is a huge accomplishment. I didn't even sneak a pepperoni! My salad was 3 cups of romaine, some cucumber, green peppers, grape tomatoes, feta, and deli ham, with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette. It was truly enjoyable. I wasn't even tempted by the pizza.
Stopped back home for about 45 minutes, before heading out to pick up the car at the garage, and go straight from there to pick up #1 from camp. Of course that was from 4:15-7, right over dinnertime. I was only home for 45 minutes, so I didn't have time to cook anything for dinner. We ended up going to Wendy's. But again ... I held out. I didn't get the bacon cheeseburger. I got a grilled chicken caesar salad with fat free French dressing and a cup of water. Well done!
Picked up #1 from camp and decided to treat the kids to the movies. Ice Age 4. This was the kiss of death. Two temptations I can defeat. Movie theatre popcorn, I cannot. Apparently. But I got a small. That's gotta count for something, right??
And not being home at all, I didn't even get any exercise in. UGH! Back on track tomorrow!
