Amber--Day 13

I did it! I resisted the donuts (although the smelled so good), the breakfast burrito and the buns on my hotdog and hamburger. The biggest temptation was to have a soda--It was hot and the thought of a cold soda was really tempting, but I didn't do it!

Today I ran my but off--literally! I definitely got some exercise in today! I took photos for each flight going out and we would have 4-5 planes on the runway at a time. I ran  back an forth from plane to plane for 3 hours without a break. Then again for another 3 hours after about an hour break. I am sooooore tonight!

Breakfast was an apple with almond butter and an americano with whole milk.

I had a snack of cashews (two handfuls) and 5 prunes.

Lunch I had about 6 strawberries, 2-3 small sweet peppers, a cheese burger(No bun) and a hot dog(no bun). Neither tasted very good. One thing about paleo, I have really come to appreciate how food tastes. When you are eating for noureshment and not boredom, you appreciate what you put in your mouth. Life is too short to eat bad hamburgers! I am not sure what I would have done instead, but I would have rather had something thtat was enjoyable.

Dinner was taco salad. I skipped the chips, fished out the beans, and ate the meat with lettuce, tomato, bell peppers, about two table spoons of cheese and some sour cream. Super tasty and filling.

When I got home from the event, I had one square of dark chocolate as a reward for a job well done. Jon is currently sitting next to me eating ice cream and rather than wanting to cut him for tempting me, I am happy that my will power is continuing and this isn't a temptation to me. He must be psychic--he just asked me if I write about him on the blog :)

I am so thankful for this blog--it helps me to have a place to put my thoughts out, and reflect on what I am eating. It has helped to evaluate what I am eating and see my day to day food choices laid out. I am seeing a correlation between the days that I want snack at night and the days that I feel fine after eating my final meal. The days that I don't have a lot of fat I feel more snacky than those days that I include some fats to each meal that I eat. Interesting stuff.

Tomorrow I will be on two weeks of no cheats--this is amazing to me! I have never had this kind of will power. Praise God! I know it is HIM helping me make these healthy choices! It feels so much better to in control of my eating :)
