I know the no sweets week isn't over, but I'm really glad we had this challenge. I too love sugar and all things dessert but for some odd reason I've not been tempted this week. Shocking. Maybe it's my competitiveness coming out or the fact that I stocked up for 2 weeks before it :) whatever the reason I've found new hope in my ability to self-discipline. There's a bag of licorice in my pantry that I see everyday and I've not once wanted any. That said, my husband forgot about the challenge and bought some Blue Bell ice cream to take to some friends today. It looked divine, but I withheld! I think I'll go buy me some on Monday!

I've had the same experience, Brittany! I think I'm not tempted because I've made a deal with myself and all of you to not eat sweets this week, therefore I don't even think about or try to come up with a sweet to eat! In the past, I've gone weeks cutting out sweets M-F. I may go back to that with my renewed sense of discipline. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is brilliant! No sweets M-F. I feel I have to do all or nothing, and so many date nights are grabbing dessert or eating a treat while we unwind. I can stay away during the week without it impacting our date night rituals. :) thank younfor this!

You withstood Blue Bell? wow. Justin and I didn't buy ice cream for a year after leaving texas last summer; there's nothing to compare. Good luck today! you can do it!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting tired of this week. And I am bugged that I have to loose points for 1 spoonful of banana pudding that I ate on Monday - without having single sweet since then. :P
ReplyDeleteI've been "good," but I am READY to be done. Bring on the veggies - even if I'm travelling and have to figure out how to work that one out (I just might keep a can of V8 on me in case I need some quick veggies!).
That said, I am actually feeling more trim that usual, which is a great feeling! And D'Lonna looked great at church in her cute pink skirt. :) I guess I need to get this principle really into my head - if I want to feel trim, I need to cut back on sweets! That said, I'll be digging in tomorrow.
Haha! Thinking of staying up til midnight and then eatin ice cream. Its only one hour - anyone in?! ;)
