Im feeling so much better today. My TOM never really hits that hard with cramps but this time it decided to hit with extra bombs. I decided to just rest and do Yoga moves I saw in a magazine that is supposed to help your cramps. It made me tired and I ended up taking a nap. I only worked out for 15 minutes but, thats better than nothing, right?
I was thinking yesturday, I have been eating well, not off plan, eating healthy ad better food choices but when it comes to chocolate its like I go crazy. All I want is to eat it and stuff it in my mouth. I really need to grab ahold of myself and start saying "no"! I tried yesturday and I ended up eating three pieces of Valentine's Candy from my sister's box of candy. Yeah having a box of candy at her house doesn't help either. I tried to stop after two but onto another piece. Then I decided it was okay to have a little ice cream...what the bananas!? Ugh I hate the feeling when I know im giving it my all to exercise and eating healthier but then there is that 2% where I just give into the sweets. So I have to take action......so until I can control my chocolate cravings, im just going to have to say "no" until I can see that I can eat it in moderation. So along with my plan, I donated my boxes of candy to my sister. Now I don't have it in my house.
Goals for this week;
Eat healthy and on plan!
No eating out!!!! It's going to be hard but I have to.
Exercise 6 days this week
Oh and weight train, lol! Can't forget!
Alrighty, I hope everyone has a wonderful new week!!!!

Sweet Tooth
I have a horrible sweet tooth! I do give in sometimes but usually only if its still within my caloires. I have bought Dove dark chocolate covered almonds. MMMM MMMM they are really good and since I stay within my calories, dark chocolate has coco flavonoids (or something I dont know what those antioxidants are called :) ) and almonds are good for you, I dont let myself feel too guilty. I think you're doing great! Working so hard, a few treats now and then should be fine.
I'm glad you're feeling better today. And I understand your dilemma. Mine is not with chocolate. But things like pizza....I ate FIVE, count them, FIVE slices at our friends' house on Saturday. They were the square kind and it only had cheese, but FIVE?! What?! That lead to my half ass workout on Sunday. Why was I not into it? Back on track today, though. Forgive yourself and move on! I think a few pieces of chocolate will not hurt you!
I love chocolate too! i had to throw out my Dove dark chocolate hearts cause I couldn't control myself. I still can't believe I threw out yummy food! I should have given them to hubby to hide and just given me two pieces a day. Ah, well.
Have a great week.

Happy
you are feeling better! I sure know all about TOM, it is my turn this week to through that hell. I already have been the emotions part but I will get through it.. :-) I had my daughter hide her cherry chocolates..lol I do have some 100 cal puddings in my fridge for when I can't stand it.
...and the ice cream. I do think that the 3 pieces is nothing to fret about and you can just move right along. Good for you for "donating" your chocolate. Now it is out of sight and out of mind. Take care.
