I had one of those days. For some reason, I woke up at 2am and couldn't get back to sleep till about 5am. Finally got out of bed at 6:30 to begrudgingly begin my day. I dragged myself to work and definitely needed that cup of coffee. And the day flew by, I was busy non-stop. After work I had a chiropractor appointment that I seriously wanted to cancel, but I went anyway.

I walked in tired, grumpy, sore, and hungry. Then to make things worse, THE ENTIRE TIME, my massage therapist talked about chicken wings and pizza! This lady had me drooling on the table and it really got me to thinking.....pizza and plopping down on the couch sounded good. I had to open my work computer tonight, so why not treat myself? I started dreaming of pepperoni with pan pizza crust and damn, chicken wings sounded good too. I could order once I got out the door and by time I made it home, it would be ready for pick-up.

You know what finally snapped me out of it? This blog. I started thinking did I really want to post about how I had pizza and chicken wings? Ohhhh. No I didn't. And then I started thinking about how I wanted to move more clothespins this week and that we were halfway through July; the month I promised to crush. Next came the thoughts about how I was good all day and why ruin it now.

So what did I end up eating for dinner?

If your first thought is what the hell is that? Fine. Gordon Ramsey would never give me points for presentation and I don't make it pretty when it's just me. But I made scrambled egg whites with onions, mushrooms, spinach, and pepper jack cheese topped with mango salsa. Delicious, low calorie, and it's a ton of food! I learned that the secret is to stuff it full of veggies.

I also realized that I passed a little mental hurdle instead of just giving in and feeling super guilty tomorrow. Looks like I finally found discipline....I think it was hiding under my bed ;)
