On top of my little fridge at work is a package of tasty, 90 cal, chocolate chip granola bars. In the drawer of my desk are low-fat wheat thins. Both I've come to depend upon since I no longer hit the candy machine at 2:00 p.m.
They have become their own addiction. Even though I rationalize it by consuming them with raw vegies, they set me up for continued carb cravings. So this week, I'm eliminating them both as part of this challenge. I have vegies in the fridge and two Clementine oranges on my desk.
Perhaps the biggest challenge and opportunity I have this week is being home from Wednesday through Jan 5th (Christmas break). It is an opportunity to get to the gym more often, but it is a challenge because of the treats that seem to appear out of nowhere - from families to friends and neighbors. I'd appreciate any tips anyone has to offer . . . good luck to all!
This year we have chosen to NOT give family, friends, neighbors treats. Not in the traditional sense anyway. My husband makes the most delicious, nutritious homemade honey wheat bread. And we'll make a loaf per family with my low sugar homemade jam. I figure it's still fabulous, but isn't going to ruin their health in the mean time.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about being for the break. It might be more challenging, but we can DO IT!! Stay strong!
