Here comes the point where I always struggle. I have done so well the last couple of weeks making a huge change and I feel amazing. Now I need to maintain all of those good habits I have built and keep going. As I have said a bunch of times sugar is gone forever. I know myself well though and without the accountability level I had I need to work hard to keep from slipping. So I will continue to log everything I eat, I will continue to post here and I will continue to reach out for support as needed.
I have always been told that making a big change is the easy part. It's the maintenance that is a challenge. Yesterday is a great example. Since I "could" have honey or maple syrup and I have a recipe for delicious peanut butter cups made with just coconut oil, cacao powder, maple syrup and peanut butter, I couldn't stop thinking about them. So I didn't make them. I didn't need them and was in a place where I would have eaten more than I needed. So I had a little peanut butter on a spoon and went to bed. I was happy and got that peanut buttery goodness. I will make some of the cups on the weekend when my head is in a better place. Tonight I was feeling too lazy, after the tiring task of shoe shopping for the girls, to bother making a mess:).
The girls are back to school on Tuesday and I can't wait. The first few weeks I enjoy the lunch making process and this year they will be very involved in that process too. They helped a lot last year but this year they will do more. It's a great chance to help them learn to make healthy and balanced choices.
Thursday is the trip to the CNE. I will make sure to document and share how it goes when we get home.
