Today could be described as temptation - some I avoided, some I succumbed to.
It was Emery's birthday and started with breakfast birthday cake. But no fears - I was strong. I didn't have a single bite, despite the fact that Emery cut a piece and put it (literally) in my face and I had to say "no thank you."
Then we went out to pick my mom up at the airport and stopped at Chick Fil A. I had a chargrilled chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and honey mustard. No problem. It was good and only 300 calories.
But the problem came with dinner. Emery wanted vodka pasta for dinner. No problem. I was going to make Jim and I a version without the heavy cream and butter, and with whole wheat pasta and just a little parmesan. So I did. And it was disgusting. And Jim was heartbroken. So I caved. I mixed our pound of pasta with their two pounds of pasta. And I had not 1, not 2, but 3 scoops. Ugh. But it was SOOO good. And it was Emery's birthday. And I avoided the cake again.
But, I did get a heart rate monitor while we were out. And I didn't do much exercise b/c we were out for most of the day.
So... a better day today.
