Now I can't get the "sign" song out of my head!!!! Today was a "sign" kind of day. If you know me, you know how I am a true believer of Signs from above to guide us in the right direction. We'll today was one of those kind of days! While my hubby and I headed in to Distinctly Tea to pick up more Detox Tea and water/tea bottles (which I will add, both products are FABULOUS!!!!), I was fighting a CHOCOLATE craving that I have been battling with all day (and passing Vincenzo's on the way to Distinctly Tea didn't help!). I did good ALL day, until my husband made the mistake of forgetting and asking me if I wanted anything from Timmy's......I use to LOVE ice caps before this "lifestyle change", and today I was CRAVING chocolate and now an ice cap. I said no at first but as he pulled in I said forget it, I am getting one. I have done good this far and I deserve a treat. My husband knowing from the past knew to kindly remind me (even though I was not happy at the time about it) how far I had come and was I sure I wanted one. I said "forget it!" - and was not happy about it (my poor hubby goes through a lot on this path to me getting healthy!). We'll low and behold we get to the speaker and he ordered himself an ice cap, just than the lady said "I'm sorry our ice cap machine is broken", I laughed so hard as I KNOW this was a "sign" from my Grandma who would always ask me when I was on one of my crazy diets "Is that on your diet"! Needless to say neither one of us got an ice cap and my craving still lingered on. Desperate to figure out an option before I made it home and caved with some treats I had at home for the kids (since I have gone this long without treats, I don't want to tempt myself yet until I get through this program and know I can stop at just one), I remembered I had chocolate protein powder. While it's not a chocolate bar or ice cap, it did the trick! I mixed coconut milk, protein powder and 1/2 an avocado and my palate was satisfied (plus I was happy with myself for the choice I did make AND yes, I was now thankful for the "gentle reminder" from my hubby!).
