Tempting Tuesday
After yesterday's workout I won't lie, my body is a bit sore.
Not "OMG I CANNOT MOVE" sore, but "oh, hey there muscles... yeah I kinda used you yesterday" kind of sore.
To me, that's the best kind of sore!!
Today was a bit on the busy side at work today.
And just when I thought "I got this", triggers were in the office.
Thats right, triggers!
The front desk (I work for an Ophthalmologists practice) had a basket full of miniature chocolates, the assorted kind. The kind that makes you go "oh I need one of every flavor!"
Then someone brought in french fries.....
Then!!!! Someone was given double fudge brownies. She even offered me some!
You know what I said?
"No thank you, I'm not allowed."
And I was right! I'm not allowed. I cannot allow myself to dip into that awesome world of sweets just yet because it's not the weekend. It's not even my cheat day!
Anyways, as the day goes on I get a text from my mother telling me that my dad fell and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. "But don't worry, we think he just dislocated his shoulder", she said.
Turns out he fractured his humorous and needs to have surgery to fix it.
Mom then tells me that they will be keeping him in the hospital till Thursday, when he is now scheduled for surgery.
So besides going to Stop and Shop for the produce that I needed for tonight's dinner, I figured I'll pick up a box of cookies for my dad. And then again I struggled with not getting sweets for me too.
I did do a little caving, and I bought some twizzlers. Granted some are for dad. But I figured these are not a horrible choice if I'm needing to cave. Plus they are chocolate flavored!
In my defense, I do not plan on having any tonight. I will make sure of it, no matter how badly I want to cave.
Because I was caving something sweet, I cut up a lemon, and put it in a great big cup of water. The natural sweetness of the lemon is definitely helping my sugar cravings in a more natural way.
But I didn't cave at all. Even with all of my tempts!

Let me tell you...
Thats a big deal for me!!

Yikes!
