Yesterday our manager at work treated us to lunch at a restaurant. I didn't skip my breakfast ....I still had my normal 2egg whites in a Italian roll that I found its only 90cal for the whole thing but I use half.........I ate normally and even snacked....I still worked out 45min and made sure to burn enough calories, I refused to let myself go being hungry and without a wkout..........I ate an apple before I left to have something in my tummy JUST IN CASE......we got there..... and then I got nervous....
They had a buffet style set up..... and I went in telling myself "OK Lynnette, don't over due the carbs only 1 protein tons of veggies OK" I repeated it to myself over and over even as I walked towards the food, I was nervous........will there be foods I can eat and log in correctly? will there be foods drenched in oils and sauces? Can I overcome this feeling that I cant do this without failing? The answer to this was YES...................
I had a "challenge" from my cousin she did it on purpose she said "You cant do it...." she said this to me to make me go "yes I can!" I'm grateful to her for helping me...I wanted , no , I NEEDED to prove to myself that I could do it....so I did....
I had spring mix salad, sliced cucumbers, ALOT of steamed veggies (zucchini broccoli baby carrots cauliflower red bellpepper yellow squash) 1 scoop of rice pilaf and 1 slice of roast beef.............It was delicious! I had just water............I was offered a roll I said no thanks , no explanations.......just no.....
Well once I was done with my plate...I wasn't full just yet.......so I sat there and waiting for it to settle..................DARN I wanted more .......so I kept waiting...another thing my cousin told me to do...I needed to see if I really did want more or if it was just the fact that the food was there....after a while I decided yes I wanted more, I got more veggies.........and that's about it...........oh and I tasted the pasta it was only 6pieces of the pasta but soo not good. I wasn't to full I was satisfied.............
I did it..............I succeed at choosing healthy foods..........I feel pretty proud of myself =)

Awesome job! I know how you feel and know the challenge. I am proud of you. :)
OMG I want to cry! I got chills because I knew you could do it! You are very disciplined in other parts of your life, I know you can do things like this. You can stil have cheat days but also have days where you don't allow the bad stuff. It's a good balance. I know you are gonna be an even hotter mom soon...it's gonna be so funny to see men hitting on you and then suddenly seeing 3 kids behind you...well, one young adult and 2 kids :D Great job Lynnette. Just like Moni says in her blogs, don't let people get to you. You have your own journey and no one needs to know about it, if they can't be supportive.
