Todays weight = 209. NO LOSS. zip, zero, nada....ugh. I need a kick in the butt.
The weekend did me in. I spent over 4 hours driving in the van on Saturday taking Jack and Elizabeth to a college visit. I did walk around campus, but it's a small campus. I don't count it as exercise. I ate in the cafeteria. The food choices on a Saturday at a college cafeteria were limited. I got a bbq pulled pork sandwich. I did not eat the top bun and only a few bites of the bottom bun. I had broccoli. I had to force it down because I could taste freezer burn on it...yuk. I like fresh broccoli either raw or steamed. I also had about 1/2 cup of chili soup.
It wasn't thick like chili, but it tasted like chili without meat. By the time we got home at 3:30pm I didn't feel like doing anything. That was a big mistake. I should have gone to the gym. I went to church, then ate something...can't remember what and went to bed. I spent Sunday with my mom in Detroit at the Gaelic League/Irish American Club. I did eat a healthy breakfast, BUT then the food offered at the Gaelic League was potato soup, bread, chicken & bread and more and more bread. I watched Mom eat. I just had a cup of tea. I was sooo hungry. Then we met my uncle at a diner in Dearborn. By then, I was really hungry. Not good. I looked at the menu and really tried to make a good choice. I had scrambled eggs & toast. No meat. Coffee. I told myself to only eat one triangle of toast. I didn't listen. Next thing I know all 4 triangles were gone! I ate them! Got home around 5pm. Hungry. Ate 2 big spoons of peanut butter. Handful of raisins. and I'm not sure what else. Again...NO EXERCISE.
I really need to blog on a daily basis to keep accountable.
I did get up this A.M. and did my Biggest Loser Wii. I think I will go to the gym right after work.
Okay guys, now is the time to post some encouraging words. I feel like I'm slipping.
Not slipping - think of all the things you did do - you chose the best choices possible food wise in that situation. You did not put on any weight during a more trying time diet wise. You have still been exercising almost daily. Now that you know traveling and spending the day out will be challenging diet wise, try bringing some snacks along so you have something good to eat if needed. hey, we all loose momentum, but only the strong pick up and keep on going!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to the gym today AND doing Yoga .. trying to make up for the weekend :) I am also going to try the C25K workout today. wish me luck -I find it more challenging on the treadmill than in my house! I'm currently on Week 0 day 3 ... my own pre-workout, chuckle!
It's ok to slip sometimes. You should have had the potato soup, would have kept you on track...and ask for fresh tomatoes instead of hashbrowns (or toast) at restaurants...alot of them will do that. The weather sucks, so I'm sure that's not helping. Just get back up and try again tomorrow Honey. I KNOW you can do it! You WILL do it. I love you! xoxo
