I escaped last night. I went to visit a friend who knows nothing about CrossFit and has no interest in CrossFit. She's not fixated on diet, food, or working out so we didn't talk about that either. We talked about her place at the beach, birds, photography, our dogs, TV shows, Facebook, current events, and just stuff. It was nice. She made coffee and we had dessert with the coffee. Cherry cobbler with a little scoop of ice cream. It was yummy. If I'm going to eat sweets, this is a good way for me to do it--at someone else's house with someone else around.
I stopped at Publix on the way home for a couple of things I needed and ended up buying nuts. Remember what happens when I buy nuts. So I ate a whole bunch of nuts on the drive home and more when I got home. I also bought a pint of ice cream. I had already had dessert at my friend's house. But that demon inside of me that loves sugar wanted more. I hate admitting that I ate nuts AND ice cream last night after having already had dessert. But I really want to change, and as long as I pretend this stuff did not happen, then it can continue to happen.
So I'm 'fessing up here this morning. I'm not going to let one bad evening change anything. I remain committed to healthy eating and getting lean. I remember what I want and why I want it. Last night was just a blip. I'm back on track and feeling good about it.

Hi, my name is Byron, and I sometimes eat ice cream, nuts, and dessert,too! :-) But . . . each day is a new opportunity to make a difference in the diet and in the world! Just keep at it and keep the ultimate goal in the eye! We will get to that goal, just delayed a bit, if these burpees do not kill me first!
Byron i am so impressed with you sticking with the burpee challenge! I feel bad i failed at the task, here I fessed up too! Pat I hope you put some dish soap on those nuts and ice cream, that may make it easier! One hint I got from some diet is to remember the taste of it before, ie craving ice cream, ice cream is not new to you, you know you have tried it before you know what it tastes like, therefore there is no need to try it again. I hope this makes sense. Here is to a new day!
