Today was very hard for both of us. We spent both Monday and Tuesday baking cupcakes for a school event, so we had a ton of leftovers. I did send most of them to The Open Door Mission, but I saved a few for my dad (but also because I forgot about this challenge). So all throughout the day I heard the cupcakes calling to me and it was so difficult to resist the urge. It's the first day and I'm already having major temptations and am on the verge of failing…again. (H) I texted B in my time of weakness and she confessed that she too was struggling and both of us had inadvertently made minor boo-boos, but we encouraged each other and it was nice to know that we were not alone.
Although today was hard, I managed to start the day off right with another day of Bootcamp and I managed to have a decent breakfast of 2 hard boiled eggs and 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. Today's Bootcamp went well (although I still struggled a lot), but luckily I did not throw up. I'd say I made some improvement. Not wanting to ruin the day I decided to try and replicate the famous Mango Smoothie from Panera. It didn't turn out exactly the same, but it was pretty tasty (however I regret the small amount I made because it did not fill me up. I didn't realize this until later when we were grocery shopping.) Anyways, I had planned to have a healthy, lean dinner of chicken, but unfortunately I ate some (a ton) smoked meat with BBQ sauce instead. (Not my proudest moment!) All I can say is there is always tomorrow and as the famous Rafiki once said….
So although I didn't totally reach my goal for today, I did manage to resist the temptation of the cupcakes and to not break my no junk food challenge (as far as I know). I know B wanted to write today, but something came up and she had to pass the baton on to me. Hopefully she will be able to write to you all tomorrow and you will get to see her personality a little bit.
Sincerely H
P.S. Here is the No Junk Food Challenge
