Day 2 - Well, Could have been Better

Well, last night we went to a New year's Eve Party and had fondue. I tried to mainly stick to the veggies and fruits but I did have a few onion rings and meatballs and ham bits. Thankfully I only really liked the marana sauce so that helped me with the higher fat dips. I did have two cups of coffee with creamer and sweet n' low. Over all, not too bad.

Today started out great. I had an omelette with egg substitute and veggies. I had one slice of toast and water. For a snack I had an orange. But, I also had some m'n'm s that were laying around. Stupid m'n'm's. I am so ready to be rid of them! I also had a cookie and DAve brought me home a frappaccino, light. For dinner and lunch I had the same thing, turkey noodles and spinach with an orange. I like the spanich on things because it is good for me and it helps me eat a little less of the richer, higher caloric foods.

As for exercise, yesterday Maddy and I did a 4 mile run in 20 degree weather. It was a really good run but I was sore after it. Today I thought I would be sore but not too bad. I think I will try and run again tomorrow. I think I can run in more frigid temps than just 20 degrees as long as it is sunny out. IF it is cloudy it is too cold.

So I was thinking today about why I go back for a handful of m'n'm s periodically. Partly I did it because they are there but it is more of a self control situation. I will grab a handful without even thinking about it. Why is that? I do like the taste but I would rather save the calories. IT is almost like a defiance issue. I eat them because I am not suppose to. Hummmm.... And who says I am not suppose to? Me. I have it in my mind that I am not suppose to eat them because they are not healthy for me. While that is true, a few here and there can't hurt anything. It is not like I am eating an apple from the tree of good and evil. But, I have a hard time stepping away from the treats. I justify in my mind why it should be okay to have them. I really need to stop that.

Tomorrow's goal: No m' n'm s because I don't need them and a run.
