Resisting Temptation

Hello All!

So here's another update on my progress. So first I got a new job!! That means I have three jobs...I'm excited about more money but it sucks up a lot of my time. And to further complicate things I was in training for my new job all last week and they took all of the free time I had to fit in more training. That crazy schedule led to no trip to the grocery store. No food at home means I didn't prep my meals for the week and ate out literally every night of the week. And to top that off I was exhausted and only made it to the gym twice that week. Epic Fail!! And the scale showed every bad decision.

But on a positive note I learned my lesson. This week I made the necessary sacrifices to make it to the store. I have officially stated my first of four weeks paleo. I prepped my meals, including salmon, tuna, tomatoes, peas, and apples among other things. I have learned to love tuna with out mayo! Woot!

Now as you may know I love to eat sweets and this paleo restriction is really difficult. Like no, it's so hard! So I was sitting at work day dreaming about cupcakes. Then I decided I NEEDED a cupcake! My solution: get on pinterest and find paleo friendly cupcake recipes. I found some great recipes (I'll be trying out and posting my results at a later date) but when I got to the store I found out they don't carry coconut flour. I was devastated! I needed coconut flour for all of the recipes I wanted to try and I couldn't go elsewhere because it was late and storming outside. So I spent a good 30 minutes searching the store for a paleo friendly sweet treat.

I considered buying a single cupcake, maybe a package of cookies, or a small container of ice cream. I even made it to the check out line with the ice cream! But by the grace of God I had the strength to put the ice cream back and go home empty handed. I was super duper proud of myself.

I will be picking up some coconut flour at a local natural foods (Idk if that's the proper name for that kind of store) store today.

I'll let you know how the cupcakes turn out!
