Today is the second day of my new nutritional plan. Living a healthy lifestyle can sometimes have some challenges placed in front of you. When I am not on a structured plan I live the 80/20 rule - it works well and every few days I get to have my free meals including chocolate. I am an ordinary person just like you and today for some reason I had lots of challenges that were put in front of me.
Jumped into my car this morning and there was a packet of smarties left by the kids staring up at me. I hesitated and thought that would be nice but I am committed to my new plan and therefore picked them up and threw them out - out of sight out of mind. One down. One of my favourite free foods is date scones. When I went to the grocery shop they had bags of them sitting on the counter at Bakers Delight - I kept walking, I usually buy some buns from there but so I wouldn't tempt myself I kept walking. Two down. I had been working all day and feeling quite hungry when I went grocery shopping (I normally have some lean protien and veges before I go so I am not tempted to buy something off plan). Well today everything that was not good for me popped its head out in front of me but I am happy to say I did not give in and only purchased what was on my list. Three down. I arrived home late today at the same time as my hubby and he asked me if I would like a glass of red, I can assure you I would have loved a glass of red today but I declined and had a green tea instead Four down After dinner and working on my husbands books for his business I boiled the jug for another cuppa and my hubby decided he would have some chocolate, he tried to hide it but it was ok because my small little steps today meant I was not going to give in tonight. Five down. Another of my favourites is icecream, Yes you guessed it he had a nice choc coated icecream and my tummy grumbled the whole time he was eating it but you guessed it I did not give in. Five down. If I had given in to these little temptations it could have easily added another 1,000 calories to my daily intake. By not giving in it continually built up my self-esteem throughout the day and made it easier as I got closer to the end of the day. All you need to do is BEGIN, BELIEVE, BECOME.
