So yesterday I did
this post about how I was going to be focussing on nutrition as well as training for my next marathon. After I wrote this post, I (not on purpose) went to test my self-control by making these goods of undeniable deliciousness, also known as manna from heaven...

| Yes these are that good that you will think they were made by God (so I've heard..)! |
Why oh why, when I have decided to start really focussing on eating good things, did I go and make these gems? Anyway, it is a good self-control tester to have these lying around, but I kid not when I say the first person to turn up at my house can have the whole lot of them! Otherwise they will get some much needed freezer time until a worthy guest comes to visit.

I try to not get too hungry and have clean foods on hands at all time. If I eat every 2-3 hours, then I can keep cravings at bay. If not, that's when temptation strikes.
ReplyDeleteGood advice! definitely agree - hunger + temptations = lower self control. I always try to have fruit and almonds on me if I'm out and about and need a quick snack. Having a plan always helps.
