Temptations

My dental appointment wasn't a complete nightmare.

They cleaned my teeth, took X-rays, measured me for whitening trays, and put in a new filling.

I was there for about 4 hours.

The best part? I didn't have to pay a cent.

For some reason the insurance company overpaid them for when my hubby was there before, so they told me I didn't have a balance.

Woohoo for me!

The worst part of the experience?

I was starving.

I woke up around 7 a.m. yesterday, ate breakfast, and got the twins ready to go

to my sister's house.

My appointment was at 10:15 a.m.

I was so hungry by the time they finished (2:00 p.m.) that I could've eaten my arm off.

Not eating for nearly 7 hours was not good. I went to the store to pick up some food to make for the twins, and I came across all the snacks that I absolutely love.

Reese's PB Cups, Doritos, ice cream!

Did I give in to these temptations?

No.

I walked away. I slowly walked away.

 I also told my other sister who was with me not to let me buy any of it.

I was pretty happy and reminded myself of how hard it already has been to lose just the first 13 pounds.

I got back to my sister's house, made snacks for the twins, and ate my planned lowfat chicken and dumplings (carrots, celery)  soup by Progresso, 14 almonds, and 5 saltines.

For dinner, I had a grilled steak salad (rommaine, cheese, black beans, guac).
It was quite filling, but I didn't feel bad. I had very little to eat all day.
I must have felt guilty when I woke up at 6 a.m. this morning though because I'm going out for a run/walk on the treadmill and lifting weights at our clubhouse. in a few minutes. Go figure.
I think if I get to bed no later than 10 p.m. every night I could probably work out at our clubhouse before my husband goes to work. That way I could just do a quick weights training when the twins take their nap in the afternoon. I don't plan on  doing it every day, but it would be fun to change it up a couple of times per week.
