Monday - Day 4

Yesterday I was so tempted to eat non ETL which we call SAD (the standard american diet). I did my exercise in the mall which is walking 2-3 miles. I would like to work up to 4 or 5 miles but I think it will be awhile before I am able to do that.
I walked 2.5 miles that took about an hour to do and while I was walking you have to go by the food court. So many food smells were calling out my name and I had to work hard at not answering them. Before Thanksgiving I wasn't having this much of a struggle so I am guessing that because I went off a little for Thanksgiving, my body is detoxifying to get rid of all those cravings. So I was successful at avoiding the temptation but boy let me tell you it was a struggle. I think also because the food challenge in going on at the forums, there is more pressure to not go off plan.
I finished my walk, went to the store and bought some bananas for freezing and a pineapple for my morning smoothies. They were a little ripe, but that is perfect for smoothies because the sugar content in them is increased which sweetens the kale and spinach.
So the good news is that I finished with a Kale Day and my Tab still = $0.00. So far so good. I have two luncheons though coming up and I just know that I will be eating nonE2L food. I need to make sure the other days are Kale and make sure I get my walking in.
