Today was my birthday! I turned 22 today. I got to spend time with my family, which was awesome, and I even enjoyed my workout today, which was surprising. But my proudest moments of the day were honestly my food choices. One of my favorite treat places is Red Mango. I love the frozen yogurt options that they have--they are so tasty! All month long I have been saying that I would eat healthy, but on my birthday I was going to go have some Red Mango. This morning, I decided to have 2 slices of bacon with my egg. Bacon is ok on Whole 30, but they say you should only have it OCCASIONALLY. Because it was my birthday, I decided to indulge a little and have 2 more bacon strips later this evening.
At about 8, Mom came to me and asked if I wanted to quickly go down to Red Mango and have a birthday treat. I was tempted--oh boy, was I tempted--but I said thank you, but no. I had already had my birthday treat with my bacon strips. That may not seem like a big deal, but for me it was huge! I used to jump at the chance to go get a frozen yogurt or a milkshake; now I know I don't need sugar to satisfy my urge for a treat.
Moral of the Story: Just because it's a special occasion doesn't mean that you need to celebrate with sugar. It is possible to find a yummy healthier option that you don't get to eat very often. And you'll feel just as satisfied--even more so, sometimes.
