After going 50 days with no chocolate, two days in a row I have partaken. Today I ate TWO fresh baked chocolate chip cookies after lunch. And I ate them consciously, enjoying every bite, knowing full well that I might have to do a steak day on my first day of P3. They were so good...and I figured it was better to have them now when I don't have all that insulin coursing through my body (when the HCG is gone) then tomorrow. I know that once I'm in maintenence, I will have the occasional chocolate chip cookie (or three). But its ok. I need to do everything in moderation, and I need to give myself permission to enjoy EVERYTHING I eat, otherwise, there is no point in eating it.
I also mixed my veggies at lunch for the second day in a row, and had balsamic vinegar on my salad. I REALLY wonder what that scale is going to say tomorrow....Im not looking forward to having steak if Im up 2 from my LIW.
I only have 100 calories left for the day, so I think Ill eat 1/2 my chicken portion with a few strawberries for dinner and skip the veggie and melba toast. Working out has definitely increased my appetite so I wonder if that'll work on my hunger. Guess Ill just have to keep guzzling the water (3L today already and counting).
Fingers crossed I'm not up too much tomorrow...have a GREAT night.
