Day 5 of my Fresh Start - Temptation

The carnival is in town. 

They have fried dough. 

Sigh.

So last night we took Trey to the carnival. He had a blast. I had an hour to talk myself out of why I didn't want to eat the pizza, the hot dogs, the hot sausages, fried dough... Yada yada yada. 

I caved. I bought some fresh cut french fries. They were terrible. 

When we finally got home, hours later than we are used to, and no made-ahead dinner, I threw a pizza in the oven. Then I ate a piece. It tasted...okay. Then I went for another slice and realized that: 
a. it didn't taste THAT good 
b. I was going to have to 'fess up to YOU today
c. I wasn't even hungry anymore. 

Interestingly enough, I slept well (thanks to the sugar crash from the white flour) but woke up exhausted. This flour/sugar stuff is just plain ole' BAD, folks. Seriously bad. 

So today I've done better. Not without struggle. This morning I really wanted that bacon and eggs I cooked for Trey. And toast. But I powered through and instead made homemade V8 juice with my juicer. I snacked on strawberries, almonds and walnuts. For lunch, I made a light version of Portuguese kale soup - no sausage. For snack I made some avocado chocolate pudding - and didn't want more than a bite or two. 

My point? Temptation can work in your favor. It's not always bad to be reminded that our choices are working - even if it takes a 'fail' to remind us. And, as I keep telling myself, this is only for 2 weeks. 

Except... I really don't want to go back to feeling so tired and sluggish. 

How about you? Are you feeling better? Do you notice a difference?
