Day 2 = Tempted!

Day #2... I met temptation face-to-face today. I started my day off with a piece of toast, half a banana, & some ice cold filtered water from my fridge. :) I was feeling great until one of my friends called & asked if I wanted to meet up during our lunch breaks at a local Mexican restaurant. Shew. Anyone who knows me knows that I can eat onions, peppers, & anything Mexican three meals a day. All. day. long. I explained the Challenge to my friend & respectfully declined her invitation. I made a point to remind myself of the families that are not allowed this privilege of meeting up with friends & family for a nice lunch/dinner away from home. So, instead, I stayed at work & warmed up some leftover chili from last night's dinner. My husband & I made sure to portion out for today's lunch before we fed ourselves last night. This must be what many welfare recipients do on a day-to-day basis.

For dinner I made baked chicken breast--no Italian dressing, no BBQ sauce, no breadcrumbs! Just salt, pepper, and a dash of seasoning salt. Nothing fancy. Just chicken, corn, & carrots. I found myself looking very much forward to our beverage, freshly brewed iced sweet tea! Yum. I could only afford the Wal-Mart brand which was $1.68 (12 bags), & it was surprisingly tasty! I usually help myself to a second glass later on in the evening but I had to think ahead to tomorrow evening when I knew I would want a glass to go along with dinner. So I defeated temptation...for today.
