Today I experienced temptation at its finest. A few months ago my mom asked me, as she had
done a few times in previous years, to attend the annual Women’s Health
Conference at John A. Logan College in Carterville, IL. This year I decided to give in and I am glad
I did.
I am getting older and clearly do not have the same
metabolism as high school. I need to
start being more concerned about my health and this was the perfect opportunity
to find more information and also have some free health screenings done as well.
I had my blood screening done and was finally able to eat
breakfast. I breezed through the morning
sessions and when 11:30am rolled around, my normal lunch hour, I was
ready. But, little did I know what they
were serving for lunch and obviously I wasn’t able to partake.
I had been doing good the whole week, even though I was
tempted to stop at Ted Drewes or go grab a snack out of the pantry, I did not
falter. But, when we sat down for lunch and there were
brownies on the table, I felt myself getting weak. I had not had any splurges throughout the
week and my level of irritability was higher than usual. I just watched my mom eat her brownie in silence.
Luckily, the lunch was the exact same thing that I brought –
salad, except their salads had chicken, nice leafy greens and a variety of
vegetables.
I am happy to report that I stayed with what I brought and
didn’t cave. I am looking forward to
Monday even more than ever!
