All in all I'm pretty pleased with this day. It is a bit odd that I didn't have eggs. I guess I was just too excited to have the crab I got at the store that day ;)

Some days are easier than others to eat healthfully. It is still difficult for me to pass up dessert at times but I try to stay focused on my overall goal and remind myself that I need to sacrifice the things that don't do my body any favors if I ever want to get there. The sweet/salty/fatty food I crave at times might taste nice, but it doesn't last. Being fit WILL last, and it will feel GREAT!

Still, sometimes I would like nothing more than to devour a huge plate of salty greasy fries or a bucket of fried chicken or half a chocolate cake with an inch of frosting.

Last night I said to my husband that I couldn't wait for summer so I could eat ice cream again. And he said, "Yay! It stresses me out when you refuse to eat that stuff". Weird. How on earth could it be stressful on HIM???? Great, now I'm going to feel guilty about stressing him out when I don't eat junk. No way. That would be dumb. He can stress about it, that's his problem I guess ;)
