Temptation

Today was such a hard day to not spend any money.

First we walked by like 3 cafes during lunch. Then I had to go into the last one with everyone since everyone was buying a drink. So hard to not order a caramel latte.

Then there was a fire alarm so we all stood outside for 30 minutes. Right during my afternoon snack craving and we were two steps away from the convenience store.

On the way home I was starving from my work out. Being dinner time, I could smell delicious food smells from every restaurant I passed!

A combination of not wanting to spend money and not wanting to ruin all the good work I've been doing training everyday won. Ok. Mostly I thought about how painful it's been swimming, running, weight training and passed on latte, chips, and fast food.

Congrats on the no spend and resisting temptation! I'm not good at either when I'm hungry!
