Feeling Great!!!

Today I woke up really craving a pure chocolate ice blended from Coffee Bean (if you haven't tried them and you love chocolate, then you MAY be missing out ). ANYWAY, I drove there with the intention of getting one and the only choice that needed to be made was if I wanted a small/medium/large. I got there and I looked at the menu, at the last minute I opted for a 32 oz iced orchard peach green tea. I am super excited!!! I decided that I will have one over the weekend since I allow myself more flexibility over the weekend after I've had a week full of making better food choices and working out.
Looking at this as a lifestyle change as opposed to a diet has been so unbelievably helpful. It means that I can have an ice blended if it fits my calories for the day AND most importantly, that if I had actually bought one today I am not a "failure" and the whole day is NOT shot. I could have made it fit my day but the fact that I did not feel weakened by temptation was a great feeling!!!

Nice work! My oh so supportive husband came home with bags of tortilla chips, cheese balls, pretzels and potato chips last night. Granted, he also got the greek yogurt, fresh fruit and almond milk I requested, but DAMN. Willpower don't fail me now!
