I did it, I said I wouldn't, but I did!

I ate the entire Buttermilk Spice Muffin from Mimi's Cafe.  I enjoyed every bite of it, in the moment; but about a second after I swallowed my last bite I regretted the decision.  I have noticed that on Tuesday's, my Plyometric day, my body craves a carb replenishment since the workout is so intense.

It's okay though, I did to give myself some room to cheat, especially since I am working out way harder than I have in almost a year.

Why is it that we get so down on ourselves when we deviate from the plan?  I am working out (hard) 6 days a week, and following a pretty strict diet; yet, I still get down on myself when I splurge in one food item.

I need to give myself grace.  I need to breath in (and out) and continue on this beautiful track God has placed me on.  I need to love myself more.

Okay, so I have heard that some of my readers don't understand where the fat grams on coming from, so I have modified my food intake for y'all.  I have now included the calories, fat, and protein for each food item.  Thanks for reading what I just started out to be an accountability blog for myself.
