After my last show...after all was said and done...after my once a week cheat treat it started.
First it was 2x a week...hot balls, a few chocolate bars...or 3.
Next thing I know I'm stopping by my favorite market to pick up a bag of peppermints.
Then I would go way out of my way to get these gluten free gummy bears.
Yep I was back on!
Not as bad as I used to be...
No jelly beans.
No York peppermint patties.
But it was definitely 4-5x week. And definitely several pieces thruout the day.
No wonder the scale was going up....
Show day I was about 120ish.
And post 6 weeks of candy I was up to 124/125... A solid 4.5 pounds.
So last Friday (my birthday) was D Day!
Yes my birthday!!
I knew I had to get a grip.
I knew it was a slippery slope.
So I picked a super hard day to start.
The hardest day!
Yep I like a challenge...
On my birthdays my amazing husband always gets me a made from scratch strawberry cake with cream cheese icing...the only cake I like!
Well he didn't know I had made my birthday THE DAY to stop...so he bought me my birthday cake.
And guess what I didn't have a single bite...not a taste....nada!
I froze the cake instead....for when I don't know but for now it's frozen.
So today's day 6 and I am officially over the hump.
I am down 1.6 pounds from the extra sugar candy calories alone...nothing else in my diet has changed...working out has been the same. All just empty candy calories.
6 days 1.6 pounds.
Do I still crave it yes!
Have I cheated NO!
Am I going to cheat NO!
For how long? I don't know....I have made it thru Lent.
And I have made it with just one cheat a week...which for me a healthy way to do it.
For now I just needed to get a grip on my old sugar friend!
And I have once again!
