Un-defeated Induction Day 4

I so badly wanted Ice Cream yesterday. Later in the evening I was craving it. I wanted Strawberry custard with rainbow sprinkles from this little custard place over on the West Side. Luckily, it's all the way over there, because I surely didn't want to drive there to get it.

I ended up going to Niagara Falls with a friend. :) I enjoyed myself. We went for a long walk along the water, and down through the trails to get to the falls. It's amazes me that something so beautiful is so local to me! Yet again, I was smacked in the face with Ice Cream Stands and all kinds of tourists with ice cream! Oh! It was horrible. Dippin dots, soft serve, milk shakes, etc! you name it, they had it. My friend kept asking me if I wanted to get some ice cream- I so innocently said no, that I couldn't have it because it wasn't in my diet... it killed me! I could feel myself pain as I walked in the opposite direction of these stands. I told my friend to get some if he wanted, but he decided against it because I wasn't getting any. I'm so proud of myself... I left without getting it, but boy I had to fight myself!! I realize its a mind game of course. How much stronger is my will power, then my mind and desire to fulfill a craving. It was hard, I won't lie- but I'm looking to see results, and if I can stick to this and change my life, then it'll be worth it!

Back to my scale OCD- yes I got on the scale when I woke up this morning, and the numbers were down...hmm I'm seeming to life this even more. I'm wondering what my measurements will be come Monday. It's sort of exciting... I just wish there was an alternative for ice cream!

Unfortunately, Memorial Day weekend is coming up. I've been trying very hard to think about how I am going to approach all these wonderful cookouts that I have been invited to. Some I can get by going low carb, because I'm very funny about what I eat when it comes to some people who cook them. I'm weird with mayonaise and chicken and grilling. I got food poisoning one year from chicken because my cousin let it sit out too long while marinating it before she threw it on the grill-- ever since then I sort of steer clear of some things everywhere because not everyone cooks, or cleans and washes their food like I do. I'll figure something out, but when it comes to my family cookout. That will probably be my cheat day. I want potato salad that my grandma makes. The worst in that will of course be the sugar from the relish and the miracle whip and the potatoes of course. Just a scoop full should do it, ohhh and then some. I hate to think about it.
