Step away from the cookies!

Over Christmas vacation my nutrition went right out the window!

Don't get me wrong....I had my normal breakfast and normal healthy snacks and had my shake for lunch.....but I also had 3 bags of Lindt Chocolate Truffles, a cranberry bread, banana bread, Hershey's Kisses, Peanut Butter Cups....the list goes on....

So...I figured, once I got back to school I could get back on track...but what was in my fridge?  Peanut Butter cups and Hershey's Kisses!  Then I'd come home to COOKIES!!

I didn't even really WANT them.  I wasn't at all hungry.

But I just can't say "no."

I told myself that I'd get back on track when I started my second month of Hammer and Chisel.  Okay, that was this past week.  Have I done better?  Yes.  Have I done well?  Nope.

So, here I am at the of the first week of month two.....  I've been doing fine all day....  but after dinner is my biggest struggle.  There are OREOs in the kitchen!  I'm not hungry.  I had a great dinner.  In fact, I'm quite full.....BUT THEY ARE OREOs!

So, what to do?

ANYTHING!  Now is the time to keep my hands busy and do some crocheting....or go sit in the hot tub....or drink some water that I really could use.....or finish doing laundry....anything that does NOT involve going into the kitchen.

Is having an Oreo or two a bad thing?  NO.  But the fact that I can't seem to control myself lately tells me that I've got to step away from the cookies....at least for now.

Here's to day one of no cookies!
