Good and bad
Another bad weekend. I guess I will start with the good though since wallowing in self pity won’t help my cause. Despite many opportunities and temptations, I have yet again stuck to my four drinks only rule. Even at the bar I had one cider and stuck with H20 and diet coke for the night. I am very proud of myself since I really wanted more booze. Secondly, despite frequent meals out and greasy spoons, I never ordered the French fries. Instead I went with the healthier side options such as beans or steamed veggies. So, that was my goodness.
However, there was a lot of bad too. Like I said, there was lots of meals out to eat including a corned beef (no cheese) sandwich at 10PM at night and two trips on Saturday at the Indian buffet. Also, I really ate lots of cookies and chips, just because they were there. As a strategy, next weeks I will document all that I eat. I do that religiously on the weekdays, but I leave my book under my desk on the weekends. The weekends are where I really lose it, so it’s time to keep track. I’m less likely to eat that 4th handful of chips, when I have to document it. Secondly, next time at Indian Buffett, I get the small plate instead of the large one. Then, I feel self conscious if I make more than two trips and I eat less. Two trips on a small plate is way less food with two trips on the big one.
Also, I did not work out at all Friday-Sunday. Friday I couldn’t because I gave blood. Every time I workout and give blood it get a very bad reaction. However, I could have walked on Saturday and Sunday but I didn’t. Instead I sat on my butt. So to combat that, I have a new rule. From now on, I only get 3 drinks a week and I get a 4th if I work out on Saturday or Sunday. That sounds like a good plan.
Ok, I can still do this. It’s a slow start, but I will get back to 170. I was happy there and I intend to get back to it.
It's been a really bad two days emotionally (PMS mostly I think) and I am super cranky. What I want is to melt into the couch with a bottle of red wine and a super size bag of cool ranch doritos. But no. Instead I will work out, have water, sushi and veggies and go to bed early. I will not ruin hard work due to a bad day. I will NOT!
