I have to confess that since we are so close to the end we are cheating more and more! Friday night I had all the kids and between TaeKwonDo classes we snagged a pizza. The horror! But no pop, so i have some restraint.
Then in order to get Sawyer out the door outside yesterday justin had to bribe him with ice cream if they biked to the store.
And then at Church there are cookies and the horrible corn syrup lemonade. (for the kids)
Speaking of corn syrup, check out this article. Now that right there is an excellent reason not to eat junk food. I mean, sometimes it s hard for our brains to wrap around the fact that eating junk will someday may or may not make us sick. But the 2nd most potent toxin in the world to humans is in it? That's pretty concrete. I can convince my brain that it is indeed poison with that kind of information.
Tomorrow is our last day on the diet. We have a lot of temptation and trials this week so it should be interesting. On Friday we leave for 10 days to Florida. While on the trip I plan on bringing food and eating groceries or dining out at nice places. The harder part may be BEFORE the trip, as we try to empty out the fridge before we leave, but have enough that we don't have to grab fast food at the end of the week.
I am WAY excited however to be in Florida for a myriad of reasons, Vitamin D, sunshine, fresh air, and fresh fruits that are in season there.
I still have glimpses of fast-food cravings, but only when I am really hungry and defeated. I am past the point of it sounding good. If we can just avoid the pitfall of the convenience factor, we are going to do OK. The bigger problem for me is the gray area of home baked goods, with regular sugar or white flour.
