Yesterday, Lauren, Jakob, and I went to see Rio 2 at the theater (it's so gosh darn cute). I had things planned all day and hadn't had time to have lunch. By the time we arrived at the 3:30pm movie, I was ravished. I have to admit, I was excited about the movie because I wanted popcorn and I had given myself permission to have popcorn.

| My Rio 2 movie gang 04/18/2014 |
Turns out, I still have a control problem because not only did I order a huge popcorn, I also had nachos. Can you blame me? I hadn't had lunch.
Fast forward a couple hours. Movie is over. We had dinner plans with Mark at Friday Friends. I had a caesar salad and a scoop of chicken salad. Then, to top it off, we stopped at Silver Creek for a little dessert. I had a double scoop of no-sugar added chocolate caramel pecan ice cream. Ok...it's official...I ate too much. After the ice cream (which is WAY different than sugar free), I actually felt my blood sugar rise. I felt bad immediately. I knew I had overdone it. But, it was too late, so I decided not to punish myself. Let's just keep moving forward.
But, in that forward movement, I want to make sure that I learn from my mistakes. It is abundantly clear to me that my body cannot handle simple carbs. I've proven this to myself over and over. What is it going to take? Why can I just not avoid these friggin' delicious foods? It's a rhetorical question. I know the answer.
So, yesterday, Mark posted the following, "It is easy to sit up and take notice. What is difficult is getting up and taking action." (Al Batt, American writer)
Today...I have taken notice. Now, I have to take action.
Have an amazing holiday weekend! See y'all on the other side!
