tempted

i know it's only been 5 days since i started my 21-day goal of not eating rice at dinner but i have been giving myself small pats on the back for sticking to that goal until yesterday.

we celebrated my youngest sister and her hubby's wedding anniversary at Max's after the 530 PM Sunday mass. i was determined to only eat chicken and pinakbet but my daughter couldn't finish her rice. this is such a lame excuse, i know! i gave in to temptation, i ate 3/4 cup of rice and told myself that it's an exception because we are celebrating. and i didn't have dessert or softsrinks or juice. i just had water. and i resolved right after that i'd do something to compensate for the 'lapse'. 

i brisk-walked in the mall (near my son's school) this morning while waiting for him. it's not much i know but i'm glad i did 'something'.
