Day 1

All in all, my first day of my "30 Day Challenge" did not go too badly. There was this moment, just after lunch, as I was running out the door to my son's school (I am a reading tutor on Monday's) when I nearly snatched a cookie. I thought to myself "Go upstairs, finish getting changed and come back down. If you still want that cookie, then by all means have it then." By the time I came back down, I was resolved that no way would I falter on the FIRST DAY of my very own challenge. {Patting self on back.}

Admittedly, I am quite hungry right now as I sit typing this. however, the kitchen is closed. Leftovers have been put away, kitchen is cleaned and I am no longer welcome. So I sit here, sipping my water, resolved that I have finished all eating and it is safe to send out an accounting of my daily food intake.

One day down. 29 to go.
