Day Six: Carb Resistance

Today was the first day that I woke up thinking about carbs. Seriously--I was all, "Mmmmm, some pancakes sound awesome." Lol. I didn't snap and eat pancakes, but I wanted to like nobody's business. Tonight was Family Movie Night at our house, which means pizza, and it's also Jason's birthday, which means delicious chocolate cake, of which I had none.

No Cake for Me

Thank goodness, I had plenty of other options at my disposal. Once I reach my goals and am in maintenance mode, an occasional cheat day for a birthday or something will be totally ok, but NOT during a weight loss challenge, and certainly not in the first two week, no-carb, no-sugar phase!

In other news, I had to skip my lunchtime walk today--it was an early release day at Kieran's school, so I had to go pick him up. I still got all my steps in, but no pretty pictures from walking today.
