Weekends absolutely fly by! It’s Sunday night again!

Will is watching “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas,” Ben is writing a paper, I’m writing this, and I’m not sure where Sam is. I checked Snapchat and he hasn’t recorded a story today.

I was telling Ben earlier today that I’m actually not craving any foods that could derail me. What I do crave are larger quantities of the foods I already eat.

For example: Yesterday I ate one of my favorite protein bars. Right after I finished it I wanted to eat another one. It was all I could do to talk myself out of it. 

At first, I started telling myself, “If you’re craving another one then maybe your body needs it. You did work pretty hard yesterday!” 

But then I’m like, “Get a grip! You only want another one because that one tasted so good.” 

Then, I said to myself,”How about you mix yourself up a plain vanilla protein shake, drink it, and if you still want another bar you can have it.” 

Then I was like, “Meh, that sounds like a lot of work and it doesn’t sound very exciting.”

By the time I went through that entire conversation in my mind the craving had faded enough that I was able to reason my way through.

These are the mental games I play with myself on a daily basis. I think I’ve developed a habit of trying to break a habit!

I’m a firm believer that every single person on this earth has to play mental games with themselves about something. It may not be food. But, I’m pretty sure everybody’s got a vice.

I finally worked up the courage to post another progress pic. This time I didn’t edit it at all. 

I wish my legs were coming along as fast as my abs. 

No Filter, no edits.
