The first instance was the beginning of a binge-fest. We still had leftover dessert that I had for the kids from Sunday and it was making it's way into my mouth. It was quite mindless. Without even thinking about what I was doing I was snacking on the chocolate covered bread while making dinner. I was halfway through my first piece when my husband came into the kitchen. He gently reminded me that I probably didn't want to be eating the carb loaded dessert. I immediately got rid of it. That would have easily turned into a very regrettable situation. Thank you sweetie!!
My next save came from the help of the website 3 Fat Chicks. I post there about my weight loss journey, it's a terrific support group. Dinner was over, my kids were playing, my husband had gone rock climbing so I was surfing the internet - facebook, my mommy board and then I arrived at 3 Fat Chicks. While reading the trials and successes of the people there it occurred to me that it was quite stupid to be reading about weightloss while sitting on my duff not having done my evening workout. So I logged off the computer and started up my Wii Active. I completed the 30 Day Challenge workout for the day which focused on lunges, squats, and my derriere, then continued onto some tennis and finished strong with boxing. My arms and butt are a little sore today but I'm grateful for the inspiration that 3 Fat Chicks provided!
I make my boyfriend hide his sweets from me because I know I'll sneak bites if he doesn't.
