Breaking away with Ice Cream

This is what we all ate yesterday!!!!!!!!!!
I know...I know...........I KNOW!!!

I met up with the ladies yesterday afternoon, my Power Ladies as I call them.
As it was such a hot and humid day THEY decided on ice cream, when I suggested a coffee shop for a cup of coffee....
I decided to take yesterday as my one off day instead of Saturday like I usually do.
This I did on the spur of the moment as I could see one treat was going to throw my calories all over the place...
I wanted to be part of this group....I didn't want to sit there with them and say
* Sorry I cant eat ice cream *...and drink water!!
If i was still trying to lose the weight, I would have said NO...but not at this stage of my journey where I'm maintaining my weight and healthy lifestyle.
I don't want to put others off from attempting this journey but giving them the idea that never again will they be able to have ice cream...
I have to remember these ladies never saw me overweight, only as a fit and healthy woman....and I need to let them see that's its okay to have little treats as well.


The way I see it, isn't necessarily the way you see it.

  1. You totally get what some women feel - they feel that some personal trainers can't relate to them but you can. Thus the reason why you say: "I have to remember these ladies never saw me overweight, only as a fit and healthy woman....and I need to let them see that's its okay to have little treats as well."
    I really love it that you understand so many people, me including :)

  2. I do love how the Germans make ice cream & I am proud of you for eating some!!! It is nice to see people that are so strict relax here & there. I know if I thought I had to give this lifestyle 100% all the time I would of not been a happy camper.

  4. WOW, you guys do ice cream at a fancy level. Those look amazing. What the heck is that one that looks like spaghetti noodles?

    I think it's good that you are able to adjust and choose to move your free day to what suits your schedule. That's what moderation is all about.
