Faced a challenge today and WON!!
I was at a workshop this morning and had been quite hungry for some time. At 11am a huge platter of muffins, biscuits and warm Danish pastries filled with fruit and custard arrived for morning tea ... excuse me while I wipe my salivating mouth ....OMG I love this stuff!! So I got up and went to the toilet and by the time I got back the platter was at the other end of the table (breathing a huge sigh of relief). I got out my Slim Secrets bar and ate that instead. Thats one for me. Mind you the platter ended up back near me and then I had about 30 minutes of smelling the muffins but I kept telling myself "we're nearly finished and I can go soon". I hung on and didnt give in to the muffins.
I also had to buy a part of my lunch today and that can also be a risky situation for me as I set out planning to get healthy food but by the time I get to the shops I've convinced myself that its ok to have what I REALLY want which is usually something crappy instead. Not today. I chose the best looking salad (roasted vegetables with a yummy dressing that had a bit of fat in it) and had that with low fat cottage cheese and corn thins.
So on Day 3 I can report:
Food on track: tick
Training completed: tick
Cardio completed: tick
Feeling: even keeled emotionally and in control.
One more step closer to my goal.
I was going to write a thoughtful post of stuff going on inside my head but its late and I need to sleep.
Til tomorrow folks.

Way to go Magna - guess we have been having the same challenges :)
Oh Jeh thats sheer torture. I avoid those places as much as I can. I literally end up drooling over the produce and its NOT a good look.
Steph I recommend going to the toilet as a great deviation from the platter doing the round of the table. Its a tough call though.
Thanks Michelle and Deb. Its early days but geez I want to make this work.
Yes Kimmy although you had a full day of them. After my 2 eposodes I was in the clear for the rest of the day.
