So, this is a few days late. I'm sorry.
I can't believe it but I finished this last week really well. After an out of control hullaballoo of a Saturday I straightened myself out, including a Sunday evening meal out complete with shared desserts. On Monday I was super duper strict. I find that these are the situations that usually break me. The kinds where I put all this pressure on myself to be perfect OR ELSE. I'm not sure what was different, it could have been sheer exhaustion but I ate as I had planned and went to bed by 8:00.
Things that did fall to the wayside while stressing myself out over meticulously counting calories and overcompensation were coffee and artificial sweetener consumption. Oops. I had 4 or 5 cups of coffee last week and probably about a liter of diet soda over three days. They were all decaffeinated though...
If anything, I learned this week that I do have enough self control to be "perfect" and to pull through at the end. I also successfully jumped back on this horse speedily after falling off and being nearly trampled to death .
