Better Days

Much better day today. I was actually in a good mood today. Probably because I got a 92% on my test last night. It makes me feel so much lighter when I get good test scores on my finals. Anyway, back to my day it started out almost the same because my computer wouldn't start up and was just giving me fits. I didn't freak out, I just called IT and got the process rolling. I was much more awake and more alert today. I did very well on my diet today. I substituted my granola bar for a package of pretzels. I thought about eating them both, but decided to put it in my desk and just have the one. It felt much better to control my eating than just scarfing it down and feeling guilty. Plus I am trying to save myself for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. I want to enjoy my holidays. I am still going to try and continue my workouts and control my eating a bit, but I still want to enjoy myself.
Some good news today though, as I was doing up my pants, when I bought these dress slacks they were a bit snug, well ok real snug, but as I dresses today I noticed that they weren't so snug, they actually fit comfortably. So it's working.
I still have those tendencies to eat bad things, well I don't think that anything is bad, in moderation, but one of the women that work for my wife offered me a piece of cheesecake when I went to pick up my wife from work. I REALLY wanted that piece of cheesecake, but I knew deep down that I would feel crappy about myself and I would feel like I have in the past and go into the eating frenzy and undo what I have done so far. Last year about this time I used to stop on my way back from physical therapy at Maverik and buy one of the breakfast calzones. They are so good. But I don't want to know how much my arteries clogged during those two months. I know what it did to me because I gained more weight and it never came off. Everyday we drive into work we pass a Maverik and I crave, CRAVE one of those calzones. But when I'm not driving it makes it easier to squash those cravings and enjoy my oatmeal. We'll see how work goes tomorrow.
