Today is a rest day. The whole day the kitchen was calling my name. I did ok until about 5pm. The Girl Scout cookies were hissing, "Come Hither!!!" I gave in. I talked myself into the Girl Scout cookies being my free meal for the week...LOL. This makes the first time in 20 days I have gone over 2000 calories.
I am on the fence about how I feel about it. On the one hand, I feel I DO need to splurge once in a while to keep from going insane. On the other hand, I feel like I screwed up. I do feel completely motivated to be back on track tomorrow and have a great week. That is a change because normally I would consider screwing up until the cookies were gone!
This evening, post cookies, I felt almost embarrassed browsing the Runner's World forum. I felt almost like I don't belong there since I had cookies...LOL. Nonsense, I know.
So, I will enjoy my evening and am looking forward to running and eating well tomorrow.
Day 20- Rest Day

Jenn, Jenn, Jenn... splurging is GOOD for the soul every now and then. I think it actually motivates you to do better in the days following. Don't knock yourself about it. Without those little slip ups, we wouldn't really appreciate the days we are disciplined. When you splurge, make it a point to ENJOY EVERY SECOND!
Well, I'm glad for the warning the Girl Scout cookies hiss! I'll be sure to close the pantry door, lest they summon me for a bedtime snack.
