Well looks like I'll be restarting my challenge today. Yes, I must confess, I totally broke down last night and had an AMAZING piece of vegan chocolate zucchini cake at Fido. My day started out great, usual breakfast followed by snacking on my homemade beef jerky and almonds, followed by a veggie and turkey bacon scramble for lunch. We met our friends Aubrey and Matt for dinner at an awesome Thai restaurant, and I had a green papaya salad and red curry minus the rice. I completely stuffed myself! Then, we headed to Fido and they happened to have my favorite cake. I hadn't had it in months and I just could not resist. After absolutely inhaling it, along with a cup of coffee, I felt so guilty. We'll just call yesterday my "big carb" day.

This morning I got up and made breakfast and then headed to day 5 of CrossFit. Here is today's WOD:

I completed the WOD in 17:04.

No matter how crappy I might feel about my eating, I always feel AWESOME at CrossFit. It is really empowering to loose yourself in a great workout.

For lunch I sauteed chicken, zucchini, onion and spinach, and then added my cashew sauce. I way over ate but it was really satisfying after a tough WOD. I would like to make an effort over the next month, to not stuff myself at meals. A, its completely mindless eating and B, it makes me feel gross.

Chad and I headed to a movie this evening, and then decided to eat out again. Reluctantly I agreed to head back to Fido, but I was determined to resist another piece of cake. Chad is seriously the WORST influence ever because he has an awful sweet tooth. I ended up ordering their local burger bunless, but with cheese, and a side of sweet potato fries. I love their fries because they aren't fried :) Chad went ahead and ordered cake, and yes, I did have a bite of his, but I didn't have my own piece. I sipped on a great cup of coffee after dinner, and then we headed home.

My diet today certainly wasn't perfect, but it was a great step towards getting back on track.
