Compromise leads to peace...and ice cream.

It's that time of the month for me when the desire for chocolate feels more like a primal need, and it becomes essential for my inner badass to go to war with my inner bitch in order to prevent 1,200 calories of Ben & Jerry's from somehow finding itself in my stomach as I take the form of a bloated self-deprecating blob of carbohydrates and regret.

Today my inner badass decided to go about it with the power of compromise. First, I planned out my calories for the day to include my favorite twist soft serve cone with chocolate sprinkles from my local ice cream stand. Then, I did something I strongly dislike and went for a run. My usual walk is between 2.5 and 3 miles, and it tends to take me about 45 minutes to an hour. I recently started running part of the walk so that I could get in some cardio, and today your girl made it 3 miles in 36 minutes. For me, the girl who used to walk the Turkey Trot every year in school and got picked last for every team, that's amazing.

So now I get to feel proud of myself as I enjoy my ice cream cone which seems to taste better when it doesn't come with a side of guilt.

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I hope you all find happy compromises in your day today🖤
