It probably would pay off in spades if I could kick this 2 donut a day habit! LOL :P

Diet isn't bad, but I cheat way more than I should.

I am in a bad commuting pattern.

I go to sheetz to check-in on foursquare

Donuts and 32 oz Coke Zero call my name.

I did good for a week and got two bananas instead, but then I go back.

Luckily, I only stop on days I close the fitness center so it's really 2 donuts a day, 2 or 3 times a week, not every day.

I know I'm just making excuses and need to stop it.. LOL

HELP ME!

Well if it helps any, I am on day 18 of Paleo and lost 15 pounds. I always eat to satiety too.
