falling from grace
I fell far from grace last night =( Crackers are evil. Even the gluten free ones.
I'm falling from grace today as well. Stupid loneliness and soy ice cream. But no more for a good while. Today I'm just going to keep track of what I've eaten... no point in counting my calories because I know they're way too high. I realize I'm setting myself back and that indulging my sweet tooth isn't making me feel better.
I can't remember a single time that it did make me feel better. After breaking apart the streak I had going... nothing will be tempting enough for me to go offtrack again... At least not until I've made a TON of progress ;P
AM: 45m cardio (3m warmup, 2m cooldown. Treadmill, 5% incline, 3.5 mph)
Meal 1: 1/3 cup oatmeal, 2 tbs flaxseed meal, 1 tbs agave nectar, 3 eggwhites
Meal 2: ~4 oz. curry chicken from WF, 1/2 cup rice
Leg workout.
Meal 3: Soy ice cream
Meal 4: (post cardio) Clif Builder's bar
Meal 5: Clif Builder's bar
Meal 6: "Phad thai" with turkey, brown rice, phad thai sauce, ground peanuts and green beans
Meal 7: Bag of peanuts with agave nectar

I have that massage today, so I decided to do leg exercises at home before I leave. That way I'll just worry about getting more cardio in.
For some odd reason, I got onto the scale this morning. My stomach seemed rather poochy, which didn't make much sense to me, except when I thought about a few things. For one, I looked poochy last night even shortly after doing cardio. A solid hour of it, which was stupid of me to do, because going at it for that long (especially without pause) increases the body's production of cortisol, which makes you retain water. On top of that, I've been eating this chicken and rice from WF which probably has a bunch of salt in it. And of course the crackers don't help.
So anyway. It could've been worse. I was 138. Even with all these possibilities of fluctuation, I must've lost at least 2 lbs. in my first week. That's something right? Kinda weird because I tend to lose more at the beginning.
There's no time to dwell in disappointment. All I can do is continue forward.

Night update: Urgh, I just wanna crawl under a rock because of how uncontrollable my appetite seems right now! Tomorrow's a new day... le sigh...
