I did not want to get out of bed this morning. Hopefully I'll get more peaceful sleep tonight. I had lots of crazy dreams last night that probably mean I didn't get good sleep.
I did get my workout in yesterday and I should get one in after work today too. My eating has been okay, but I keep going over my RDI. I have been eating more fruits and veggies and a lot less junk so I'm happy with that. It's mainly dinners that are the killer for me. Having a family of picky eaters makes it hard to cook anything healthy that they will eat. This week I gave my kids 2 nights of what they wanted and the other nights are going to be healthier foods and they seem a little more open to things when I'm not just pushing them into it cold turkey. Maybe I can slowly get them to eat more healthy dinners. I also need to find something else for myself to eat on pizza night or other junk food days, and tell myself it's okay if I don't eat what they're having. I know if I just don't get started eating the junk then I will have an easier time with moderation. Last night we had pizza and I stuck to the serving size I had already recorded and then ate a salad, but I really wanted more pizza, it was a struggle. But when everyone else was done, I put the leftovers away so the temptation was gone. If I wouldn't have eaten any pizza and just had a chicken salad or something I think the struggle wouldn't have been as bad. Next time we do pizza I'm going to experiment and try to eat something else and see how it goes.
I hope everyone has a great Thursday!!

Exercising restraint burns calories, too, by saving calories! Your willpower is admirable as you've been put through the temptation-wringer this week! In theory, I'm more of an 'everything in moderation' subscriber, so I think eating a single serving of pizza with a side salad is fine -- but I also understand how one taste/sample could set off a 'binge' if that is a trigger food for you (it's probably a trigger food for me, which is why I've stayed away from it while I'm still trying to lose weight). But, I still think what you ate last night is a good rehearsal and reminder for when you reach maintenance.

I know where you are coming from with picky eaters. Youngest (who is 14) will not eat any fruit and hardly any veg. My problem is that he would live off pasta and carbs - not ideal when I am trying to cut back :)
