Today was the hardest day yet in this process. I got up and did a great bicep/tricep workout. Then I worked for 8 hours. That was not so great. I really wanted a diet coke. I really wanted the giant cookies and chips that a drug rep brought. It was the 4th busy, crazy, stressful day at work (I did have 2 days off in between). I didn't eat any of that junk food though.
After work, I ran 6 miles of hills, wind, and cold. When I got home I took a bath and made dinner. It was a clean recipe of chicken curry. I didn't think my family would like it so I didn't make extra, thinking there would be plenty of leftovers for lunch tomorrow. While I cooked dinner I packed my cooler. Then the kids and my husband came home. They loved the dinner and ate everything. So here I am- exhausted, grumpy , and wanting a brownie at 9 pm and I still have to make me a lunch. Instead of eating a brownie, which my husband brought to my attention that we don't even have, I cooked up salmon and sliced veggies for a wrap for lunch tomorrow.
Instead of giving up, I guess I can be proud of the choices that I made today. The brownie really wouldn't have been worth the guilt. I just needed to vent a little. I'm so thankful for my extremely supportive husband. He really gets what I'm doing, even though the majority of my friends and family don't. It's a process;)
Good job! Days like today are the toughest and you made it through with no regrets, so good job. I'm glad Mike is supportive of you; that makes all the difference. And hey, now you know another clean recipe that your family will eat, too! ;)
