It's about that time! As I did last year, I will be writing a thankful post every day for the entire month.
Today's post was..
I am SUPER thankful for the fact that I didn't eat a single piece of Halloween candy. Not even 1! Seriously, this has never happened in all of my 36 years of life...well, maybe except my first Halloween when I was 4 months old.
For real, people. I cannot believe that I did it. I didn't know I had it in me. I guess it's true what they say: that self control is a muscle that needs to be exercised and will get stronger with time. As I have moved from going gluten free at the beginning of September to starting Whole30 a few days ago, I have gotten more and more used to having rules. As a reminder...
And, luckily, I am a rule follower.
The weirdest thing is that I haven't been hungry either. The food I am eating has been enough to sustain my body and give me energy.
Today, however, is when I will start to work out again post marathon so stay tuned to see how I handle Whole30 WITH exercise. I'm guessing I will just increase my portions to make up for it, but we'll see...
Welcome to the world of rules. It's not as horrible as people make it out to be! It's just life. Great job on Halloween!
