Challenegs

So this week I have very consciously been watching my food intake and choosing healthier food options, I've worked out 3 times this week but I know I could be doing more.  The most challenging part of this life change is picking wiser food choices.  The other night I wanted a bowl of chocolate ice cream so bad, but I resisted temptation and just went to bed. It was hard but I know in the long run it will pay off. I would have to say that so far Wednesday and Friday this week have been probably the worst. Wednesday nights a group of us go out to Anastasia's in Antioch for their $6 pitchers and 1/2 off thin crust pizza. Although I know this isn't the best to be consuming these things when trying to lose weight I had ate healthy all day leading up to Wednesday night. The worst of all was Friday. I had not ate much but some breakfast and carrots and hummus and then I took a friend out to see a movie for her birthday, and of course I had to get popcorn. I ate about 1/3 of the popcorn and half a bag of pretzel m&m's (the size you get at the checkout). Then not only did I eat that but later in the evening I ate really bad for you and hardly tasted that great pizza hut. I went to bed with a stomach ache, it must have been my body telling me I was poisoning it. All in all this has been an eye opening challenge and it really makes you think about the quality of the food you decide to put in your mouth.  Today is a new day and as I am going to concert with friends, I also see today as challenging, but I know with a little planning and prep I can make wise decisions.
