Little Victories
First off…. let me say…. that last night was the FIRST Wednesday in MONTHS that I did not order Dominos Pizza. Months….. I didnt even want to order it. Felt a bit freaky sitting up in my room with a bowl of frozen raspberries and strawberries with a dollop of fat free natural yougurt… thinking to myself “this time last week I was half way through my medium veggie pizza with pineapple and pepperoni…. after already eating a side order of garlic pizza bread” and I wasnt even tempted to order it. I was enjoying my frozen fruit way too much. And it was kinda freezing the yougurt that was on it, so it was turning out to be super healthy frozen yougurt!!! Yummmiii.
You have no idea how I feel now just thinking about that little victory. I know, I know, I will crave my pizza again. Without a doubt. BUT….. I have won one Wednesday night trap. I’m not even letting myself think about Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings… one step at a time.
I suppose what helped is the fact that I got out of the house yesterday evening. I met my friend for a run after work and didnt get home until about 8pm. I was so pooped I just got into my pjs, made a snack and then watched “All Saints” (my favourite Australian soap). I’m going to do a bit of exercise from now on in the evenings after work… anything just to get me out of the house and away from my kitchen, laptop and mobile… and the fast food menus on the kitchen notice board!
So, tonight I’ve a tag rugby match this evening after work, so will be busy. And I’ve a 5 mile run on Saturday morning…. early Saturday morning! So planing an early night on Friday night.
One step at a time…. right now I’m telling myself that it’s coffee break at work, and I’m going to get a coffee…. but I dont want the biscuits that are out on the table.
Ok, going to get my coffee.

Good for you! I also had one of those little moments today. It’s great to feel in control of myself around food. I ordered sashimi (raw fish - well, I do live in Hong Kong!) and it came on a masive bowl of rice (which isn’t part of my diet plan) and I just picked the fish right off and didn’t think twice…even though it was right there. Big high fives from me to you!!
HIGH FIVERSSSSSSSSSS!!!! You got it… one battle at a time… one day at a time. In the moment, JUST for that moment. You did well and I’m sooooooo pleased for you. *big grin*
I learned when I quit smoking that changing up your routine can really help to conquer old habits and routines, one crave and one desire at a time. Again, WELL DONE girlfriend!
Hugggggggggggggggggggs,

Congrats for winning the Wedneday night trap! It’s good that you had something planned so you didn’t want the pizza. I think it’s an excellent idea to do some exercise after work, just don’t over do it
When I was working I would train with my trainer at 6:00 then do cardio at 7:00 to take up my evenings. This would help me with the food control. After working out I didn’t want to eat a lot. I was in the zone…
mmm… raspberries… (homer simpson voice)
WOOHOO!! GO you!
You go girl!!
