Food Report
Not a good day today. But I learned a lot. I did well until I made cookies with my son. The dough had to chill in the fridge for a few hours (darn gluten-free cookie dough). I kept going to the fridge to eat a taste of dough. I had way too many "tastes". Then when we actually made the cookies (he loved using cookie cutters! It was his first time doing that), of course I had way too many cookies.
So in looking back over this, I realized a few things.
1. I a...

It's super late right now. I went grocery shopping after the kids went to bed and it takes me forever to grocery shop whether I have them with me or not. I tend to "dawdle".
But I really wanted to blog because I had some insights today.

Great day today! I am loving my new plan. I tell ya, this whole thing is like a mind game for me. Since I have decided to let myself have one treat per day, I have not felt deprived and have not felt the need to binge.

Exercise Report
BFL Lower Body Workout.

Finally after 2 off days, I got my workout in. I had to make myself do it as I was not in the mood. So glad I did it.

Exercise Report
Nope, No exercise today.
Busy day. We had some friends over for a playdate; dropped the kids at the babysitters so I could get my hair cut. Ran some errands (my kids were way over tired) and instead of exercising during their nap, I gave tamale-making another try. No go.

Another waste of time. I tried another masa recipe as I had alot of shredded meat left, but this one was no good either. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. But I am done, I tell you, for a...
