Miss Me?

I have been teaching off-site for 2 days where I don't have internet access and I was too busy to post at home. Things have been plodding along quite nicely.

Tuesday was 1553 calories and I went for a walk with the family
Wednesday was 1582 and I did water aerobics.

Then...there was yesterday. I don't know what happened, but it happened. I came home from work and was hungry, but I was saving my calories for a planned dinner of pizza with my mom. Then Steve & Jacob left for baseball practice. Leaving me alone in the house and hungry. I was supposed to go work out, but I was skipping it because my legs were bothering me. That's when I got out the bag of sun chips and started eating them...no measuring, no planning, just eating. Then I had a piece of cheese...then I was making bags of trail mix for the week, so I indulged there and then I had a piece of toast with butter. Finally I quit eating, I think mainly because it was time to go to my mom's. I had my planned pizza, but grabbed 2 miniature reeces peanut butter cups on the way out the door. Thoughts of donuts for breakfast or a bacon, egg and cheese bagel swirled in my head. This is how it always goes for me. 1 slip and then I am gone. But somehow this morning, my head was clear and I am on plan. My food for the day is already logged into fitday and my mind is on the prize.

I went back and adjusted yesterdays fitday to include my binge. I don't want to hide from it. 2216 calories. (approximate, since I didn't measure anything) 616 over. That will not kill me. What will kill me is not moving on and continuing on my quest to get healthy.



I have a busy weekend planned with a project around the house, so I feel confident that I won't be "sitting around" being tempted by food. My BFF Laurie and I are going to dinner tonight, but we always eat at Ruby Tuesdays where I can get a white bean chicken chili and a salad.

It's about consistency, not perfection.
