Day 26
I know I haven't written in several (a bunch of) days, but it's coming close to the end of thirty days and I'm just checking in to say I'm still on track. Despite a couple of "deployed family valentines day dinners" I still stayed on track. Go me. The end.

Day 18
Wow. I keep forgetting to post. My bad. Life feels SO busy lately (and I still just have the two kids and this weekend was actually much more calm than last week...although we did still have two things on the calendar yesterday).
You'll be proud. Despite the fact that at Love & Logic class they had candy on the table...and despite the fact my table-mates think it's funny to slowly grab a chocolate and act like it's the best thing ever, I didn't eat any (not even a Twix or Snickers). I did, however, grab one fun sized one for each of the boys (just like I did last week...because I'm *that* mom who rarely gives my kid candy and definitely not right before bed...but if it means I can live vicariously through them, I'll totally do it...because that somehow makes it easier to resist eating it myself).
Second thing: I'm down to 146.2. It's still chunkier than several months ago before Hubby went on his "must eat everything I like before I deploy" phase, but down two pounds is still a win for me. (And makes it easier not to find the baggie of Oreos I found in the back of the pantry as I was cleaning it out OR the little chunk of frozen cookie dough I saved from the last time I made a batch of cookie dough.)
Final thing: I've learned yet again (not that I really ever forgot) that there's no question I'm an emotional eater *and* that I love food. When I'm really upset (mad or sad) I turn to food. When something awesome happens and I want to celebrate, I think of something great to put in my belly. Even when I'm bored, I want to snack. Not that I haven't been snacking (because I have) but sometimes I've been choosing healthier options (although sometimes I've just chosen something salty instead of something sweet)

Day 16
I kept to my goals today. I was *this* close to slipping up, but had apples and peanut butter instead. I'm about to eat cheese and crackers and lunchmeat (yes, I bought some) and then crash in bed.
I *did* have my favorite tea tonight as a reward for getting some stuff done and I did put one packet of Truvia in it (for whatever reason, that always tastes way better than honey or sugar...and is weird since I never use it in anything else...)

Day 15
FYI: Day 14 had no slipups...and nothing really worthwhile to mention
Day 15 was a really hard day for me emotionally. But I was able to make it to the gym for the first time since Hux and I got sick (yay) and I resisted eating Andes Mints OR leftover birthday cake that's in the freezer when I was bawling my eyes out. PLUS I didn't eat any desserts OR drink soda at the deployed families dinner (where I could've justified the soda because it's free, I never get/drink soda, and I needed caffeine to stay awake...but I didn't). Go me.

Day 13
Day 13 was fine. I was so busy and tired that sugar didn't happen. Had a financial counseling client in the morning which took longer than expected. Pick up the boys and naptime. Wake boys up early to go to the vet for Foster Dog. Swing by Adopters house to drop off Foster Dog and finish the paperwork. Then home since I was supposed to get a call about a new foster kiddo (although I ended up never getting the call). I'll be honest: I gave the boys a candy in the car since I felt guilty that they were stuck in the car for the better part of two hours straight, but I had no desire to steal their candy (because it wasn't my favorite)

Day 12
I know it's not even five yet, but I'm sure I'm going to stick to the eating plan. If someone offered to drive me to In N Out or somewhere to get a chocolate shake, I'd totally take them up on it, eating plan or no, but that won't happen and luckily I'm lazy enough where I'm not going to drive anywhere. Sure, I still want some of the candies around the house (or better, to make some chocolate chip cookie dough) but meh.
In other notes: Our new foster dog has found her forever home. She has her microchip apt tomorrow and will go home shortly after that. AND I got Hubby's quilt totally schmooshed together and most of the binding done for Felix's quilt. PLUS we picked up and vacuumed this morning since I knew we were having company. There are still time out toys on the counter, dirty dishes in the sink, and several loads of laundry that need to be put away (and more that needs to be done since Gabriel took yet another nap [yay] but peed in his sleep [boo])

Day Eleven
You'd be SO proud of me. Last night at my Love & Logic parenting class, they had fun sized candies ALL OVER the table. It was SO tempting. They even had Twix...and Snickers! I ate none...and was kinda disappointed, but still.
