Black Wednsday

Im sooooooo disappointed in my self. OMGoodness what a crap stick day this has been. How could I be so high yesterday and soooooo very low today?!? I had my awesome weigh in and then I ate like an outta control piglet at an all you can eat hog trough this morning and afternoon. No particular reason that I can think of. It was really just sort of a spiral :(

This morning I wasn't feeling the best again because Lilly the 11 month old was up nearly all night with her teeth bothering her. I am old. Have I really stated this loud enough? I AM OLD... :))) There is a reason why women are most fertile in their 20s ... it's because that's when they can stay awake long enough to care for them :P *nods off while typing...*

So this morning as bushed as I was I didn't jump right to my fitness... I sat. I sat and started out good. Green Tea and yogurt with some almonds at first. Then it was lunch time and it all started falling apart. I hadn't exercised at this point mind you. I fixed left over bow tie pasta with Alfredo sauce (so sinful the way I make it) for my son and I was going to heat up and eat the stuffed Anaheim chilies I had prepared the day before. I put cheese on them. Dont ask me why, but I put a lot of cheese on them. I ate them both after he turned his nose up at his. After the cheese and pasta it was all down hill. I sat and ate a whole huge container of yogurt with almonds. Next up a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch. Then I polished off the rest of my fruit platter... about a cup and a half of mixed melons.

I'm not eating dinner tonight. I have sort of a two fold idea of what went wrong today. Firstly and most importantly I didn't exercise this morning and I sat and watched two whole movies! I dont watch much in terms of TV or movies. Maybe some sort of program every other day if that and all we have is Netflix because of my belief that TV can suck up so very much of ones life and there I sat and there I sucked. By the time I had all of that in my gut I was am feeling sluggish and hungover and crappy. Like a drunk coming off a bad night. So exercising I am not.

Secondly I have found something peculiar about myself. I already knew that pasta makes me go crazy so I have stayed away from it entirely. I didn't know how ever I would feel this way with brown rice. After all isn't it sposed to be healthy? Every time I eat it I fight over eating urges. I'm thinking I'm going to have to nix the brown rice :(

How am I going to course correct? Well a famous man once said "An object at rest remains at rest..." I am no such object. When I wake up tomorrow I am hitting my exercise. It keeps me in motion, my progress in motion and that same smart man said "An object in motion remains in motion..." I got this... I'm round... watch me roll baby... ;)

Have you found any "Healthy" foods that you have to keep away from?

  1. Tomorrow is a new day to start over with a clean slate. And you will do great!

    Healthy foods I have to avoid because I will eat them in mass quantities - 100 calorie snack packs, Weight Watchers cakes and muffins, Nature Valley sweet & salty nut bars, dehydrated fruit. I do eat rice occasionally but I have to measure it out. Bagels are one of my favorite breakfast foods (esp. w/ cream cheese) but I had to stop eating them because they are so high in calories.

    Hang in there, HoneyB!

  3. Girl, we ALL have these days (heck, I have weeks like this)! The true test is what you decide to do AFTER this happens.

    I know you'll rebound... here's to a better day tomorrow.

  5. Yeah, you're fine, HoneyB. I have done this also and I almost think it is a weird craving thing that our bodies or brains can build up. Where we really just want to chow down on some stuff, without caring about the nutrition. But, as you experienced, that feeling can also go away quickly. We feel guilty, but your food today is still less than most adults eat at fast food restaurants, etc.

    Tomorrow is a new day and consider yourself a new woman, back on plan.

  6. Put it behind you and move on to the next step.

    Don't dwell on past mistakes, instead plan for your next opportunity of success.

    Don't even dwell on the healthy choices you made last meal because it's always what you do next that counts. Whats done is done... my next choice is??????????

  7. I went through the same thing, HB and I let it linger a few days. Put an end to it. Make today a million times better. Don't step back anymore than you already have. You are doing great!
