OMG!!! relax... It was a healthy peanut butter cookie from the health food store. Even so, I don't have guilt about food. I just think that if you do eat something that's not as good for you as other things might be, you deal with it and move on. I mean, really.. am I going to do 10 more crunches because I ate a cookie? Oh HELL no. I work out pretty hard anyway. I didn't "CHEAT" or fail or screw up. And, I didn't eat it because I was depressed, or because I was so hungry I'll just grab anything that's there. I had saved a little room for it after dinner, then I worked out for about 45 minutes. So, my point, (and I do have one) is that I am not trying to justify it to anybody. I am actually impressed with that cookie I ate, it was full of fiber and whole grain and delicious peanut butter. It was yummy and way healthier than a million other foods, and now it's over. It's in my tummy with the better stuff I ate today. Low fat pasta with fiber ("Barilla pasta plus", try it, it's awesome) and pasta sauce with a TON of veggies, like spinach onions and green peppers.
I have had a few situations recently where someone said "oh do you want a .... (brownie,donut, cupcake, etc?)" and then they go on to say "Oh that's right, you can't HAVE one." Sometimes that irritates me, but, in the last few weeks, I have seen far too many benefits from choosing better foods to fuel my body, and getting off my butt and changing my life, and I'm not going to let other people derail my efforts or upset me about my choices. This is my journey, and I'm really proud of how far I've come. My blood sugar is doing great today, by the way. 123 today! Even after the cookie! so, ya know what? I'm good!
