Today’s Results:
Breakfast: 1 shake (170), vitamin
Lunch: 1 lasagna (250), toast (90)
Dinner: 2 vegetable stew (300), toast (90)
Snack: I don’t even want to talk about it.
Total Calories: I can’t begin to guess.
Physical Activity: I carried some boxes to the car. Not really good work.
I fell off the wagon today. Gummi bears, chips, some chocolate. I do not feel good about it.
However, I promised myself at the beginning of this that I would not punish myself for days like this. I knew they would come and I knew I would have to suck it up the next day and start over. I said I wouldn’t punish myself for stepping outside the diet and I won’t and that includes not sabotaging myself with the continuance of unhealthy behavior.
And anyway, even with the extra snacking and calories, I probably didn’t do nearly as badly as I did on a daily basis before I started this diet. Everything I snacked on (except the candy) was low calorie food. I stopped myself, too, before I ate everything in sight. That’s an improvement over once-upon-a-time.
I think it’s stress eating. I’m under a lot of work-type pressure right now. We have a sudden and huge deadline we’re not ready for. My partner is tied up in a lot of other things right now so a lot of it is falling on my shoulders and I’m starting out already behind. It’s totally doable but it’s going to mean a lot of long and focused hours. Focus under pressure is not my strongest suit. So I get nervous and my hands want to do something. They turn to snacks.
Ugh.
I’ll do better tomorrow.
Plan for Tomorrow:
Breakfast: 2 vanilla shakes (340), vitamin
Lunch: 1 savory chicken (210)
Snack: 1 vanilla shake, flavored (170)
Dinner: 1 mushroom risotto (240)
Snack: 1 vanilla shake (170), vitamin
Total Calories: 1130
Physical Activity: Still no fucking idea.
Hey, your doing awesome, atleast more than others, as your taking the time to blog about your eating. Your making healthier choices and in time, that will make a difference. Hell, I love Gummi Bears too!
Remember it’s a lifestyle change, not a damn diet that you quit down the road. Keep doing what your doing, don’t be hard on yourself and you will succeed.
I stress out too, but hey writing you made me feel better about my own brain fart with food lately. I talked some sense back into myself also. Thanks!
Sandy
Hey, Sandy, thank you very much for the kind words!
I’m so glad coming here has given you a chance to rediscover your own path. I think we can always benefit from reevaluating our thoughts and feelings, and sometimes knowing someone else has the same problems makes us feel a little less isolated.
Take care, good luck and come back anytime! :)
