Day 1

So.. I would say that day 1 went well. I woke up a little later than I normally do and I was tempted to skip the smoothie. I realized that if I skipped it, I would end up making a rash decision later and end up getting something crappy at school. So I made my strawberry banana smoothie in my vitamix and ran out the door, and yes, I got parking at school :) It was karma for making the smoothie haha Then instead of going out to lunch with friends (tempting) I went home and had a lean cuisine garlic and chicken pizza. It was delish and I was happy with my choice to go home and make a healthier lunch. Then the snack temptation started. I was sitting along watching tv and playing on my computer and I thought, hmm snack time? Then I asked myself if I was actually hungry or bored. I was bored and did not have a snack. Good choice meg :) I drove Natalie to her softball practice and I went by Wendy's on my way home.. how good a coffee toffee drink sounded, so good! I thought, is it worth it? Am I going to let my mind go weak and decide that a stupid coffee toffee drink was worth messing up my healthy day 1, no! So I drove home. I then made myself a big  salad for dinner, lettuce, shredded carrots, a little bit of crumbled feta cheese and my favorite light cheese fantistico dressing. I was pleased again with my choices. I went to see Eat Pray Love with my mom tonight and took a bag of smart pop popcorn from home to snack on. There were so many delicious looking foods in the Rome, eat, section of the movie. I was thinking, wow that looks so good, and then I look over at my bag of smart pop and couldn't help but smile, thinking about what I did today. I resisted temptation, I made better choices than I normally do and I was proud of myself. That was a successful day one in my opinion :)
