Kisses at Midnight...

Three The Hard Way...

 

 

I mentioned last week on our 90 day Weight Loss challenge call that if we got our  weight loss program 80% right, we would do great. We have a six week phase in and specific goals to accomplish each week, so far I've been about 90% on target.
I got in some exercise this week, and have had only three small mishaps. I am anxious and excited about our next call to see how everyone else is faring.

Last night I danced up a storm at a wedding helping me to get my exercise in for the day, but then I drank a half a glass of regular Coke, one fork of wedding cake and then got home and ate 6 or 7 Hershey kisses!

I did not abandon all, but I thought about why I had the lapse (mindlessness with the coke and I was hungry and didn't feeling like cooking at midnight - thus the Hershey's kisses). I know I should always have a piece of protein in the fridge for moments when I need just a bit of something. Cheese or chicken would have smashed the craving, and avoided the dive into the candy dish, planning is very important.

I could remove the candy from my house, but I am seeking balance this time around. I'd like to be able look at whatever form the sugar may appear and choose not to have it.

It will require repetition, diligence and a great deal of patience to create a new relationship with food, but the shift into cleaner eating will be worth it...
