Snack

Water

Victories: Only having 3 of those cookies (they really were small). Whenever I make Boiled Cookies (no-bakes or gorilla poops for some of you), especially without the cocoa and with added coconut, I have a hard time controlling myself.

Defeats: chocolate chips....those were desperation moments. Not getting to at least the Wii Fit today.

Observations: I don't know what was going on today. I was starving all day long. This afternoon I kept thinking, "okay, I'll eat this and then I won't be hungry" but within half an hour I was starving again. So considering that, I'd say I did pretty dang good today. I know myself, and I know that under the circumstances I showed remarkable restraint. I'm proud of today, even though it was more food than I would like to have to report. It was a crazy day....homeschool co-ops always are, especially when I am teaching. But I did get some good housework in. I'm not sure how many miles to count that as? But seeing as how I didn't get Betty Lou's challenge until late afternoon, I'll make sure to get my minimum 3.8 miles in starting tomorrow.
