Day 1 comes to an end!

Well, I made it through day 1 of keeping it real! I had a good day, I just wish temptation would not strike so often. Firstly my in laws came over with some finger buns (fresh and smelt amazing) but I hardly even looked at them and I find if I just get through watching my kids take the first bite then I'm ok! It was a busy afternoon with running kids around which then having to come home and to cook dinner after 7pm is draining and painstaking to say the least (I am not a kitchen lover)! But I had planned ahead and thought about what would be healthy and quick and got some things ready before I left home. That made it easier and I must remind myself of that in the weeks and years to come. My hubby got chocolates from his parents for his Birthday this week... This was a challenge, I found myself saying "oh you have been so good today one or two won't hurt" then I thought about how long it takes to burn 200 calories, and that this is not my junk meal day (after all it is only the beginning of the week!) So I did sit down and have a cuppa with my hubby and even though watching him eat the chocolate in front of me was hard for about 1 minute after that I felt so great for not having any.  This is the feeling I need to  remember when I am tempted in the future... Anyway, I feel good, energised and proud which is much nicer than feeling bloated and guilty. Bring on tomorrow world, I am ready for another day of Health!
