Oh dear, oh dear. Yesterday did NOT go as planned, but at least there wasn't any bad damage.
It was Sunday, post-Indulgence Day. Both Wife and I had the munchies SO bad. For once, I gave in and went all the way. No excuses, just a fact. I'm super set on being back on track today.
Yesterday, it went all over the place. I started the day with the best intentions, and did good. I ate fruit instead of goodies (though I suppose fruits ARE goodies!), and had low calorie breakfast and lunch. It was going fine. Then, as the day progressed, the sugar hunger came to me full force.
Just as I discussed a little with Ryan75 and Jsfantome in some journal comments, the carb monster can be a rough one. It's about learning to live with it, I believe, not without it. But it doesn't mean that it can't be tough. I ended up going to the candy shop to get chocolate, just to calm myself down, and Wife talked me into pizza. Hey, at least we SHARED a pizza, and it was a reasonably good one. No extras, but a little cheese, lean ham and mushrooms. It was good too. It hit the spot.
Now, of course, I regret. I didn't drop some of the re-gained post-Indulgence Day weight, and my stomach feels terrible. I'm bloated, gassy, aching. Remind me again why we'd want to ever eat pizza? LOL.
These are of course the things that happen now and then. I regret doing it, I felt bad WHILE doing it, but at the same time it felt oh-so-good! I'm sure you know what I mean.
Today, I'm back in the saddle, full focus on the mission. I need to get back down to 77, get back to goal and do good.
I looked at my intake and burn yesterday, and they pretty much even out. No big damage done. I will, however, ensure that I hit the gym tonight, after a home/school meeting we have after work. In a case like today, I wouldn't go for the gym as I normally do this right after work. The meeting is more important than gym - it's about Daughter's future, after all, and that of course it essential. So on a normal day I would go do that instead of gym.
I have agreed with Wife that the plan will be Work, meet with her, go to meeting, walk back down to gym, she'll go start on dinner and I will go work out (take a walk on the tread mill) at the gym. I need to burn some extra calories to "forgive" myself. :)
Today I am thankful for:
- a punishment in the shape of tummy ache to teach me a lesson.
- No weight loss to teach me a lesson.
- No weight gain to not make things worse.
- Coffee! Salute!
- Having found
Peter Jackson's productions diaries for The Hobbit on YouTube. I hope to watch those tonight. :)
Take care my friends! Life is good!
EDIT: I just remembered this photo. I thought I'd share.
