Do(ug)h!

Today hasn't been so great. 

It started off well - brisk 40min walk this morning, followed by a nice brekky. I took Mr Muffin to swimming lessons and when I came home it all went tumbling down hill from there. 

I just couldn't get them out of my head. Their dotty complexion, their soft, chewy center. I just couldn't shake the urge to bake choc-chip cookies!  I should have been stronger, I should have known better. I should, I should I should...... These have been a major weakness of mine lately.

Very depressing and so disappointing after my great start to the week. 

In my defense I walked to the supermarket to buy the butter, which is a 2k round trip, and then I put half of the mixture in the freezer to have on hand to go with a cuppa when unexpected guests pop in. Does that sound convincing?

Ugh, Ok ok, I will be on my best behaviour tonight and have a good dinner and might will even go a little harder and further on my walk tonight :D

Gotta get back on track!

Day 4

My gosh. It's only day 4 and I've already fallen off the wagon.

I had a friend in (a rather serious) crisis and of course that called for chocolate. 

Ugh

Chocolate. 

My. Worst. Enemy.

I haven't yet worked out how I'm supposed to say "no" to the super sexy, smooth allure of Chocolate. I need to find a way though. It's probably the biggest hurdle I'm going to face on my mission. 

My Wiifit thinks I've lost half a kilo (woohoo) though I'm pretty sure it would have been cancelled out by my sympathy-choc-indulge-session.

Must weigh myself on some proper scales!

I've been doing some readings about sugar cravings and the like. The general consensus seems to be that the cravings come and are gone again in about the space 10-20mins. 

What the bleep am I going to do for 20mins while a craving passes!?!?

On a more positive note.

In the last few days I've made some changes that ARE good. 

I've managed to walk at least once a day.

I've switched from regular tea, to peppermint tea! - I tried it for the first time today with a friend to hold my hand and was pleasantly surprised. So I figure it's just something else that I wont have to add sugar to anymore. 

I've also been drinking more water which can only be a good thing.

I'm getting back on the wagon in the morning. I have the alarm set for 6am. (Unless a certain munchkin baby wakes me earlier or gives me a rotten night) Out the door for my 40min walk by 6.30am. (Wishful thinking perhaps?)
