Guiltless Fourth

Hi everyone, I hope you all had super funtastic Independence Day, and for our foreign friends, I hope your Wednesday was spectacular! I'm just posting quickly about my small victory yesterday: I didn't overeat! I didn't go to bed feeling sick. yay!!! I always tend to stuff my face around holidays thinking, ok, I'll fix this tomorrow or next week, etc. But his time I ate, enjoyed the food, didn't go back for second's or thirds, and then stopped! We cleared the table and that was that. There's a part of my brain that thinks if I'm going to enjoy this "treat", I've got to go overboard and stuff my face. But not this time, and given the recent lag in motivation I'm feeling very energized.
And, tomorrow's weigh-in. I'm not exactly looking forward to it, but not dreading it, like I normally am in a holiday week. If anything, THIS will have kept me from losing:

PB and J crusts left over from the kids. I can hear you through computer, "Wow Katie, how do you ever say no to those? You must have a willpower of steel to turn those puppies down." I know, they are not the most appetizing of deterrants, but they are a major weakness of mine nonetheless. I've really been trying this week to NOT just pop these in my mouth when we're cleaning up.
So, we'll see, I haven't gotten on the scale in a couple of days; my fingers are crossed.
