Dear grocery store center aisles....you will not win!

What a crazy last couple of days!  Work has just been awesome and I just feel amazing!  I feel like I have a little more energy during the day.  Now, I don't know if that's from how great work is or because of the change in my diet...but I'll take it! :)  I didn't have a chance to go walking yesterday, because I had book club.  I had a little bit of a break in my diet when I got there, because the girl who was hosting book club made a delicious meal.....breakfast for dinner.  So it was high carb and fat and absolutely delicious!  I didn't take as much as I normally would have and I felt hungry when I got home late, but I went to bed instead of eating.  It's definitely not easy, but I figure if I felt too hungry, I could just cry myself to sleep.  I was determined NOT to get something to eat!  The last few weeks, I have proven to myself that I can have self control and it feels wonderful!  THEN.... after work today, I went to walk around the lake and needed to go get some more fruit and veggies from the store.  What did I make the mistake of doing?  Wandering down aisles and not sticking to the outside of the store.   And what aisle did I find myself in when I was hungry and hadn't had dinner yet?  The frozen foods section where there were so many pizzas in the freezers and they just needed a good home.... So instead of buying a pizza, pasta, or chips...I called my best friend!  She basically talked me out of buying anything that I didn't need and instead talked about tomorrow's workout "date" which was just what I needed to think about.  So I hung up the phone, put down the box of Reese's Puffs cereal and checked out.  Oh man!  Close call!  Laurel=1, unhealthy food aisles=0.  I'm feeling fantastic!  And this cantaloupe is more delicious than ice cream (I just have to tell myself this)...

My musical inspiration today:  Today was all about country!  There were many artists who helped me get a little pep in my step today!
