If almonds and cashews are better for me than breadsticks and Milky Ways...then I am way healthier today compared to five days ago. Also, on a related note, I am going to spend $100 on nuts this month. No judgement.
Day 5 is the first day I ventured out into the world at mealtime. I took a bag of cashews and a bottle of water with me and planned to have actual lunch at home around two. This did work, but the temptation to cheat on Busia's M&Ms and cookies was - by far - the hardest time I have had sticking to my plan. Every Friday, that is what the babies and I do...we go to Busia's and eat M&Ms and cookies while we visit. Sitting on the couch with water and nuts did not feel the same. However....
I survived. I didn't cheat. I came home and put my chicken breast in the oven and had lunch like a good girl. And now I am pulling together my shopping list and heading to the store to hunt for ingredients for next week. It feels good to be planning out week two, it feels like real progress.
I am still getting small headaches every day around two or so....right around the time I normally would eat all my junk food and sugar. My brain is trying to trick me into sugar...not happening brain! Too smart for you! Unless there is sugar in ibuprofen...then you win.
Getting ready for day six.....
