I did pretty well today. I did give in this afternoon and have a Dr. Pepper. I was exhausted before my conferences had even begun and our principal opened the pop machine for us. I had a weak moment and took it. I'm not beating myself up about it too much. I think I earned it this week! Today I will be good though. All this talk of food and sweets is getting me hungry. I guess I should go eat breakfast. (I love days off! It is 11:15 and I am just getting breakfast!)

I made it! No sweets yesterday! It wasn't easy. I had a tin of Hershey kisses in front of me all night but I held my ground! And to top it off I snuck in a weigh in this morning and let's just say I liked what I saw! Hopefully I don't blow it all today. :) wish me luck!

Now I remember why I can't cut something completely out of my diet. I have already planned at least three meals for Sunday, and I'm pretty sure they all fit in the top triangle of the food pyramid! I had to pass on an Oreo this morning - on Oreo's birthday! I passed on some delicious looking Dr. Pepper at dinner and then I passed on a yummy-looking chocolate tonight. I did eat a bag of the "right bite" cookies before hitting the gym so I had some energy. I wasn't planning on completely avoiding sweets this week but I have a tough time stopping once I start eating them. For the past two days I have decided it is better to be safe than sorry. We will see how I feel tomorrow after my 13th parent-teacher conference.

Status: success! It was not an easy feat, but I did not have any sweets. I thought I was going to fail this morning as I filled the class "candy jar" (yes, it's exactly what it sounds like, a jar full of candy). This month's candy jar was more tempting than normal, with Kit Kats, Reese's, and Starbursts. I made it through that and the rest of the day. One day down, six to go!
