Today was tough. We had our MOPs brunch today. I did pretty good and made good choices until the end. They gave us little Easter eggs with Peeps inside. Oh, my goodness. I love peeps. Especially the chicks. For some reason, they are better than the bunnies. The bunnies don't have as much marshmallow and too much of the sugar.

I digress. So I had 2 Peeps and 4 lifesavers. Not bad, but off my program and I did not want to stop my momentum. It's hard to get back going. And I was right. We went to Walgreens tonight to get some treats to put in some eggs for my son's preschool tomorrow. He is to bring 6 eggs filled with treats. Well, Walgreens is evil, I tell you. That Easter candy aisle is just so tempting. I didn't want to get a whole bag of candy for only 6 eggs. The stuff laying around would be too tempting for me. So I bought a little 12 pack of mini-Cadbury eggs and called it good.

Here's the good news. I didn't have any. And boy did I want to. I mean, my will power was only holding me by a thread. Want to know what that thread was? I remembered that my husband doesn't think I can do this. He doesn't think I can go without candy. He knows how much I love it.
When I remembered that, I found my determination to prove him wrong!!! And I resisted the candy. And I resisted when he was eating my favorite chips later in the evening. These are all habits I want to break-not just for 12 weeks, but permanantly.
So even though I had a small slip, I did get back on track and am proud of myself for that. :rock:

Speaking of my husband, we had a little "discussion" tonight. What makes me mad is that I was in the wrong this time. Don't you hate that? I love to be able to blame him for everything, but when I mess up, it almost hurts even more. Ugh. He was trying to talk to me in a more gentle manner about something that he disagreed with. I jumped on him about it. He pointed out that he has the right to disagree and that he was trying to say so nicely like I requested (as we talked about last week). So yes, he was right about that.
At least I can admit when I'm wrong.

So much to do tomorrow. My family arrives Thursday afternoon and my house is such a wreck. I don't know how I'm going to get it all done. I must go study now.
