Honestly, not bad for having been hungry ALL day again (so annoying!!) and going to a baby shower with lots of tasty snacks.  I am honestly in awe of how Christ has changed my heart- I didn't snack at all until food time, and then I carefully only choose one of each item that I really wanted, passing on creamy cheese logs and brie (which I LOVE!), and then I didn't snack at all after that.  Plus, I had a vanilla cupcake and the chocolate ones were screaming out my name but I simply ignored them and didn't go for it.  Oh, and at the store I could have chosen any number of unhealthy snacky foods since I had a half hour drive to get back to Seattle from the 'burbs, but I chose a high-protein Cliff bar.  Honestly, that's the power of Jesus.  I can't take credit for it because I tried to be that disciplined on my own power and failed.  It's not about behavior modification- it's about heart change, and only Jesus transforms hearts.

I know the calories are a bit over, but honestly it was a good day.
