Sounds like you're plugging along nicely and getting everything set up so that you can be successful in your weight loss 
You really can't buy fresh fruit there for most of the year? If you can, I would suggest opting for frozen fruit over canned fruit and canned often has sugar and/or preservatives added.

I am a despicable person!!! I haven't been watching my calories....on purpose...because food tasted too damn good Today I made cookies..sat on the couch and probably ate about six or seven....signed up for my gym about a week ago and haven't gone yet because the hours unfortunately don't work unless I get up at 5:30...and Tuesday and Wednesday when I am free, I made excuses...so there I was, eating my delicioussss cookies...and thought, "hm, maybe I'll go at 7 if they stay open until 8."....I looked online and boom, a zumba class started in fifteen minutes. I got my butt up, put on my gym clothes, and freaking booked it over. 1 hour, 15 minutes of zumba today.
So calories for today suuuucked.
Exercise today was actually a success.

Yeaaaa...fresh fruit is available, but it is suuuper expensive and only lasts about a day until it is rotten. I can do some frozen, but I do want to keep a few canned around so that I can grab something quick. Although, I suppose I could thaw some frozen out in the fridge every few days just to have ready also.

Day 10 - What was the hardest thing you gave up during your weight loss journey?
Well, the hardest thing I am going to try to get rid of (since it is soooo not gone yet) is my sarcasm about exercising. I was in zumba tonight and the instructor said, "use that muscle" about something in our tummies, and I was like, "ha she's assuming I have a muscle there." It's not horrible, but it is a total defense and I just need to start thinking more positive.

I see... Well, I think that defrosting frozen fruit every few days might be a better option, but just pay close attention to the labels on the canned fruit - there might be some OK options there.
As for the cookies... I find that it works better for people to not have an "all or nothing" attitude. Allow yourself one or two cookies once in a while instead of telling yourself that you're not allowed to have another cookie ever again. In the big picture, a couple of cookies aren't going to hurt, but a whole batch of cookies might throw things off a bit more!
