Not my best day on the Beck Diet Solution, but I'm trying to find the gold among the dross.
Since I was feeling so much better, I was trying to catch up on my holiday festivities today. That mostly meant baking Christmas cookies to give away as gifts. I knew it would be a challenge to surround myself with all that sugary temptation, but my Christmas cookies are a tradition that people start asking about in October. I couldn't disappoint them; I just had to be strong!
For the most part, it went pretty well. I had to sample 3 cookies, but that's much better than I had feared. It helped that I propped my ARC up against the racks of cooling cookies.
However, the cookie-baking took all of my time and energy today, so I didn't make it on a walk. I was resting when friends called to invite me to the movies, and I had to say yes, since I'm getting a little stir-crazy, and I figured I could handle sitting and watching a movie.
Strangely enough, in the middle of the film (which had absolutely nothing to do with bacon), I got the strongest craving for bacon. And instead of remembering my Response Cards (which I haven't read once this week!) I started thinking that my favorite fast food place has a yummy bacon cheeseburger... So on the drive home I detoured past the nearest one. I was wrestling with myself the whole way but the side that wanted to indulge and treat myself (I haven't had fast food in ages!) was winning. But the restaurant was closed! It was a sign. Or something.
So I headed home, where I ate 3 more Christmas cookies. And half a box of crackers.
Yeah, not a lot of positives in there. But I was driven to read my ARC and to apply another tattoo in hopes that giving myself some credit will help me earn some!
