Day 3

Today went well (YAY!!!)

However I have to state the in the past 36 hours I have strolled through the grocery store twice and both times had temptations intentionally seek me out to torture me. I went down the 'ice cream novelties' section and heard them cat calling me. Seriously. The ice cream was cat calling me!!!

I made it though and only thought of the fact that I was on day 2 with 182 to go that would be indeed without any splurging on ice cream once. (Being the hottest day of the year that's pretty good!)

I won't lie, I find abiding by my newly acquired eating practices much easier while working a full day. As challenging as it is to pack a cooler with 4 meals in it is, it is more challenging to eat clean without it.

Tomorrow will be another challenge. Going out for lunch with someone I support. For some reason these are some of the hardest times to deal with while staying on an eating plan because often the people I'm with (though very capable and often quite intelligent) don't see why I need to be on any special 'diet'. 'You don't need to lose weight! You look fine!' To which I reply: 'I'm trying to eat healthy'. To which they reply: 'Ice cream is ok once in a while'. To which I reply: 'My once in a while is more often than it should be'. At which point I order my salad and we generally start the whole conversation over again.

Bug me about what I did come tomorrow night!

By the way, the salmon arugula salad was AMAZING!!! I even got a picture which I'll post soon. I'm not a huge salmon lover (especially cold, which this was) but this was so good!!!

Well cheers until tomorrow.
