Well...

... despite my discouragement, I didn't eat myself out of house and home. I wanted to. I really did. But I didn't do it. In fact, I didn't even really head for comfort food when I was feeling down, unless you call two egg whites and a cucumber comfort food. I personally don't. I did make cookies with Ellie for the first time today. She enjoyed it. They were even healthy cookies, too. They didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped (I replaced all the sugar with Splenda), so I'll work on the recipe a bit. Maybe I'll just try half sugar and half Splenda next time. They tasted fine, they just were too dry. BUT... they are only 25 calories each, and 1 cookie is 0 WW points. 3 cookies is only 1 point. So I'm okay with them being a little dry. And I'll still work with the recipe until I get them to turn out like I want them to.

So I just finished eating an ice cream cone and that brings me to today's total. I'm ending my day at 1106 calories, 22 g. fat, 26 g. fiber, and 19.7 WW points. I didn't exercise today (that's where my discouragement kicked in) and I only drank about half my water. But I didn't over eat, and that is a huge first step for me on a day that I am down and out and discouraged.

Tomorrow I've got Zoe from 9:30 to 1:30. We'll see what the weather does, but maybe the sun will come out and we'll get 40 degree weather I can take the girls for a walk in. We'll have to see, but that's what I'm hoping for. I'm just no good for indoor exercise this time of year. I want it to be sunny and I want to be OUTSIDE!
