I love the substitution advice. I’ll continue to let you know about situations that are challenging me.

Proud of me today! We had a going away party for 2 coworkers. I knew there was going to be Costco cake and cookies there. I walked in to the party with my La Croix sparking water so I had something to hold. I even helped serve the cake! But…didn’t eat a bite. Instead, I had packed a Brownie Quest bar to take with me to the office. I went back to my desk and enjoyed that after saying farewells.

Seems so silly but it was a big thing for me. Part of me was like I deserve to eat the dessert, too. I worked out this morning. I’m so good most of the time. But then other part of me was like “it’s not homemade and I’ll be probably just as satisfied with my Quest bar”.

We are starting a ‘Summer Slim down challenge’ at work starting June 1 through August which will help. I don’t even care if I win, I’m just happy to have others focused on healthy eating around me.
