So, most of those that read this blog knew that I had this resolution.
My resolution was that I would not eat any sweets/desserts except for 7 days out of the 365 days of the year.
I had chosen a few special occasions as days to indulge.
So, here's a rundown of the days that I had sweets
Starting on January 1, 2011:
February 15- 10 year engagement anniversary
May 12- 10 Year Anniversary
June 9- My birthday
August 3- Zeke's birthday (also my chance to have a casco bar while out west.)
(And I do have to say, Russ surprised me with a cruise for our anniversary. During that week, we aren't counting anything. So basically the resolution was eating sweets on only 7 out of 350 days of the year.)
I was then planning to indulge on Halloween, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
However, my resolution took a turn downhill.
On August 17th, I ate a lemon bar. It was not because August 17th was a day I chose as an indulgence day but rather, that is the day I found out I was pregnant.
Despite my husband's efforts to encourage me to finish the resolution for the rest of the year, I made an executive decision due to the extenuating circumstances. I never imagined that when I began this New Year's resolution that I would get pregnant. And I KNOW that I would NOT have broken the resolution for any other reason. I had done very well. I believe I showed self-restraint and practiced self-discipline.
But with pregnancy, all bets are off.
So, that is my resolution rundown.

I agree about the extenuating circumstances! You did so well! Great job and, again, congrats on the baby!!
oh, becca. i love you. i'm proud of you for getting that far. i mean seriously! 8.5 months of no sweets? i don't know anyone with that kind of self-discipline. i'm excited for your pregnancy and that it means you get to indulge! go ahead. go right ahead.
Agreed! Pregnancy is the BEST reason to do/eat whatever you need or want to. This is something our sweet husbands do not, cannot, and never will understand! Plus you did more than half the year...I'd say you have proven to yourself what you wanted to.
You did a impressive job with your personal challenge. I still don't know about the executive decision ;)
