Things went pretty much the same today, food-wise. Except I ended up eating a tiny sliver of my boss's birthday cake. So tiny it probably could have been eaten in 3 bites or so, but it took me longer because I was savoring it. I figure, if I'm going to try to make this a lifelong commitment then I need to allow myself a cheat on special occasions. But, I did not do what I usually do when on a diet, which is thinking, "Hey, I've ruined the diet today by eating this cake, so I might as well eat whatever I want all day." I just continued right on with the diet as if I never had that piece of cake.
I did not exercise today. I'll try to make up for it tomorrow.
Happymaker of the day: laughing with coworkers. There was a lot of laughing at work today. ;D

A "tiny sliver" is a good way to go, and a "take it from there as if you never ate it," is good too.
ReplyDeleteI think "Oh, no! I have to make up for it!" is a mistake as well as deciding "What the heck, I've ruined my diet, I might as well quit." Both attitudes have you giving too much importance to a very occasional, tiny sliver of cake.
So good going!
There is sunshine today, so I may try to do some extra walking at lunchtime - if it's warmed up from the 31 degrees.
