Whew, crazy day yesterday! I also had SO much temptation in front of me all day, it was unbelievable. We had all this leftover Valentine's Day candy left out at the studio - it would have been so easy to just swipe a little chocolate and say oh, just having one - but I never seem to stop there, I would've kept going. So all day I was just all like WILLPOWER! and held off. I'm also on the verge of getting really sick, I have a horrible sore throat and a little fever, but somehow that makes it easier to be healthy - if I'm in the mindframe that I want to heal myself and take care of myself like I would someone else, I don't want to have tons of sugar and feel worse.
After work I had drinks with a bunch of people from high school who I haven't seen in years - our ten-year reunion is this year, yikes. This had been planned for months so I had to stop by. Of course it was at a really fun beergarden, and it's -4 outside. It was so tempting to have a beer with everyone else, but I held off and had sparkling water instead. It turned out to be totally fine, once I got settled in and warmed up I felt just as good and realized I don't need a drink if I'm already having a good time. So with that I was able to go home and have a healthy snack instead of picking up junk food - it sounds small but that was pretty big for me, to not have a beer and heavy food with everyone, especially when it's so bleak outside. I also made it to a yoga class before going out, so that really helped me clear my mind and set my intentions as well. Feeling good, good start!
