Whew! I said yesterday had to be attributed to those (amazing, delicious, I fully plan on bringing a 20 with me to the next game and eating four of them by myself) darn bacon on a sticks. I'm happy to say I was right this time! Okay, I like saying I was right all the time. It's my one flaw :) This morning I was blown away on the scale. I since last week I have lost 2.4 for a total of 43.8! Hallelujah! I want to cry and eat bacon on a stick to celebrate!!
In reality though, I did get myself a little treat. I typically eat egg white omlettes for breakfast, and when it was super cold I would have oatmeal. I'm kind of over both of those things so while I was at Target last night I picked up a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It's a little strange that I make my 4 year old choke down healthier cereal while I wipe sugary goodness off my face, but those are the perks of being the boss. I haven't had CTC in a long time. They're still yummy and I feel full for 300 calories (with skim milk).
The cravings lately are kind of a mood killer for me. I try to make myself wait 2-3 days for the craving to pass or just die down enough if I think I can eat something without bingeing. Like chocolate. 44lbs ago I would eat a giant (for real, the biggest bar the stores carry) Hershey's with almond bars by my lonesome in one sitting, with no real thought to it. And yes, there are times when I do sort of miss eating with reckless abandon, but it's not worth it anymore! About a week ago I was ready to go to the mattresses for a hit. While torturing myself in the yogurt/candy (not a joke. That's how it's set up!) aisle I picked up a fun size pack of Hershey bars and happily saw that I could have 3 of those little beauties for something like 250 calories. Hot dang! I took them home, had my three, and then my husband ate all the rest. Jerk. I digress, after the three my craving was squished and I didn't feel the urge to kill anymore. Sounds great right? Yes, except there are cravings and then there are CRAVINGS. If you thought I was willing to take someone out over a chocolate bar, you have no idea what I would do to them for a giant bag of chips. I have wanted Salt and Vinegar chips for about 1.5 weeks now so badly I'm currently drooling on my keyboard a little. The skies opened up for me last night while in the chip aisle at Target. Market Pantry (Target brand for those of you not in the know, or not such a cheap-o shopper you can tell the store brand names of every store in a 50 mile radius) is now selling their Salt and Vinegar chips in fun packs!! There are 7 (I ate one last night) little chip bags for my lunches this week just waiting in the kitchen. Oh happy day! Now lets see how long they last :)
