Chocolate happens, and shit

I started a new low-calorie meal plan of my own design this week. Yesterday to be specific. Did great! Had a great day, felt good, felt full, kept the calorie count down. Add to that my boot camp workout, a walk with the fam, some general housekeeping and it was a good day for calorie burning. I could just picture those little suckers vaporizing.

Today, I also did really well. As long as you conveniently forget to count the ** (I am not even going to admit to the actual number here) Lindor Truffle balls I ate today. See, I fooled myself into thinking that I would have just "2 a day" as the treat part of my new plan. However, there are stressful moments, everybody needs me for something, I am perpetually tired and there are these feisty hormones that Aunt Flo always packs in her carry on bag when she visits, once a month. She arrived yesterday. Bee-atch. 

The oddest (and best) thing about it is that I am not beating myself up about it, at all. "Whatever," seems to be my central sentiment. I am content to let this one go - sans guilt. Tomorrow is a new day, a boot camp workout awaits me at 7am, and all of the chocolate has been consumed from the premises. Burn baby burn.

That is my strategy, too. Just eat all of it - that way, you don't have any sweets in the house! Except the chocolate chips you keep for baking. Those always get me.

yah, it's kind of strange how you reach a point where you don't even want anymore, but you feel compelled to 'get rid of it' (right into your mouth). What-evuh!

Whenever Auntie Flo's in my house, all rules (and guilt) are escorted to the door and booted out.
