Cookies vs. Meagan

Ok so I think I will be trying to post once a week- daily just takes up too much time.

So last week I did pretty good. I had a lot of temptation and was really proud of myself for not giving in. Example: For Nikki's birthday we had two different cakes. I had a small sliver of ice cream but didn't touch anything else. Then enrichment night was next and there was a whole table loaded with desserts- all I took was a handful of fresh blueberries- and trust me the chocolate chip cookies were calling my name the whole night. They would not give up. I can't believe how much I battled that one in my mind. The cookies kept saying things like "Come on just take one of us, we're not that bad, one wont hurt." & "Look at (so and so) she's eating a few of us and she's still skinny." But I fought back, "No I can't, if I take one, I will feel like I've blown it and just keep eating them." & " I don't want to feel disappointed about this later." It was an intense battle, but in the end I won and it felt good!

Then last weekend we went camping. This one was even tougher and truthfully I probably blew it just a little. I will admit that I snacked more than I should and I had to splurge on a Blizzard from DQ when we saw that there was one near by our campgrounds. I didn't even think they had DQ out here in Boston- so I caved. My relationship with the DQ Blizzard has been non existent and I missed him too much:). However, I made a point to split the Blizzard with Ryan- so at least I didn't eat the whole thing by myself. I also had to let myself have a s'more- oops I know, but c'mon how can you not have a s'more while camping. Okay okay- so the weekend was a little brutal, but other than that I did well.

I stuck with my meal plan and I continued my running program even during our camp out. Yes- I awoke at 5 am to feed baby and then went running at 6 am down by the beach while camping and that was even after going to bed late and being kept awake half the night by a very noisy campsite full of children, snoring old guys, and loud Latin music. The run was worth it. Fresh air and an absolutely gorgeous beach- I'm telling you, I am in LOVE with Salisbury Beach.

OK stay turned for my meal plan this week- if I can figure out how to post it.
