My challenge for today was babysitting for a friend of mine. Last time I babysat for her, I ended up in a bingo-o-rama from her snack drawer. Jelly beans, chocolate, candy of all kinds. Knowing this, I prepped myself all day long for being at her house for over 8 hours with the candy drawer of temptation. I even packed my own dinner so I wouldn't be at the mercy of whatever was on the menu for the kids tonight.
That darn drawer has been taunting me from the moment I stepped into the house. I gave in to temptation. I ate a handful of jelly beans. Here's the crazy thing; I don't even really like jelly beans, and as I was eating them, I told myself they weren't even that tasteful. Yet I continued to eat them up. Just because I could.
However, last time I was here, I ate about 10 handfuls of jelly beans, followed by several mouthfuls of other candy bits. This time, it was just one handful. And still, I have yet to eat chocolate :) Tonight I defeated the candy drawer from hell.
Also the last time I was here, I stepped on their scale. That was the scale that read 158 and when I really made my decision to adopt a healthier lifestyle of eating. Today I stepped on their scale and it read 151! Seven pounds. Seven Pounds. SEVEN POUNDS! Proof that my hard work and dedication really is paying off.
