Ho Hum, Ho Hum its off to work I go!

Today was the first work day of 2012.  I was a little nervous about sticking with my diet plan today.  It is so easy to get distracted at work and eat whatever is within reach.  At a cancer center,around the holidays, that is every sweet you can imagine.  Patients bring in homemade goodies by the truck load. 
I decided to go to work armed with an arsenal of healthy meals and snacks.  I do so much better when I have a plan.  I am horrible at impulse actions.  Whether it be a piece of candy left over by my children or the little single pack of Kleenex next to the register at Wal-Mart, or God forbid, the dollar bin at Target I somehow convince myself  I need whatever the impulse item is.  It is a crazy addiction.   My plan was simple today.  Pack healthy, reasonable, foods and stick to them.  I did not falter even once.  I even came home and cooked a delicious low fat meal that everyone loved.  I am so proud of myself.  When I have dieted before, I was always easy on myself saying, "I can get back on track tomorrow" if I screwed up.  Even though that is technically true, I am determined that no day is better than today to get myself in shape.
