December Challenge Day 8

The day has been good so far. My eyes are trying to get me off track today as one of my coworkers baked some home made chocolate chip cookies and every time I go buy the cookies I get tempted to grab one. So far I have been able to resist the temptation. After all is it really worth it? I did so well last week and really like to have another good week this week. I only have about two in a half weeks to redeem myself and so close that I know that I can do it.

I am saving calories for a Christmas party later on this week so I can have a few cocktails if I eat right with five fruits and veggies I definitely can treat myself at the party. I'm not even looking for the food but just the cocktails. I can't really remember the last time I had one.

Plan for today. Stay focus no matter what and resist temptation.

2. Five fruits & Vegetables

This weekend was great! I haven't had a set back at all. I logged all food and eat all my fruits and veggies which is awesome! I weigh in today at 145.2, which is pretty good as I started the week at 148.6 so obviously I am doing something right. Yes I have finally made the connection. My goal is to stay focus as if I loose two pounds every week in December I will be at my goal of 138 by December 31, 2008. If I can only get there I will hold that until the next year.
