Two Weeks

I am now chocolate free for two weeks.
14 long days.
I might even go as far as saying sugar free --
but that would be nearly impossible as it
seems to be hidden in every food we eat.

For a while, I wondered if I would endure.
And so far, so good.

However.
Today was much harder.
Thankfully, I don't have any in the house.
I would surely have eaten some, if not all.

I have been trying to stay in tune with my feelings as I go through this yet another series of going to the gym, watching what I eat, trying to lose some pounds.
This time I seem to have a better handle on it. Mostly.
But when I'm stressed.
Or when I'm sad/blue/depressed.
Those are the hardest times to avoid the comfort foods.

Today, I started the day all gung-ho for getting things done; got the backyard cleaned up, did some strength training, got my hour in the sun as I read a good book. But somewhere between loads of laundry and lunch, I lost my interest. I just wanted to curl into bed, I couldn't settle with anything. As a result, I had a few more carbs today than I should have. I should have gone for a walk. Or headed to the gym.

Choices are everything.
May tomorrow be better.
