Frightening weekend

Sunday, January 02, 2011

OK, I scared myself yesterday. I just went off the deep end, food-wise. The kids were amazed at me - they hadn't seen me do that in a long time. We'd gone to a friend's house for New Years' Eve and brought some junk to share, and they made me take some of it home afterwards ;-). I usually don't have a problem with stuff in the house, but for some reason I just went into it. Once I started, I couldn't stop. Ugh.

Today, though, I did Coach Nicole's 10 minute cardio (which left my legs feeling more tired than my usual 40 minutes on the treadmill - um, time to challenge myself there a bit more?). I've only had my usual high-protein breakfast (including a two-egg arugula fritatta, yum), so I have good hope that the Junk Monster has gone back to sleep.

Ugh. How about you?

    Welcome back, Holly! I recommend the 28-day boot camp program - the videos are 10 minutes or less, really doable. No sergeants or puking, Asdis ;-). I do feel my muscles after doing it for one week, so it is significant, but it really is a gentle easing in back to exercise.

I found a Firefox add-on, too, to ... well, never mind ;-).

    Oh, yeah - I have been having this problem for a month, now. I think I'm back on track, though. I felt sufficiently rotten yesterday (I won't tell you how much chocolate I ingested over two days' time) to inspire me to design myself the "ultimate pre-op get-in-shape diet." I think the only thing it doesn't have 100% of is calcium, pantothenic acid, vitamin D, and magnesium. (Not sure I'm supposed to be supplementing, at this point, so I was aiming to get at least 100% of everything naturally without going over my calorie goals. I think I managed it!) It's not bad, either, but if my nose starts twitching and my ears grow big, y'all will tell me to back off the roughage, right? :)

Now, I just need to get with the program like Hadass and Asdis and MOVE! :)

    The only thing that I find myself binging on occasionally is chocolate. The solution is obvious: not have very much of it around.

One step forward. Half a step back. Move on and leave the guilt. It doesn't do anything for you but make you feel sh*tty about yourself.

    I took all our NYE junk to the New Years Day party our friend have every year, and left it there, but that didn't stop me from snacking on it while I was at the party.

Last night Phil and I took a 5-mile walk, and this morning I ran that same route, so I'm feeling pretty forgiving about my food transgressions. That's my problem, I think. I exercise well, so I'm really kind to myself when I'm not careful about food. I know I stay healthy, but I'm not going to loose any weight with that attitude.

I like the "toss it" method of dealing with things that look better than they taste. I can get pushback on throwing away some of the kids favorites, so I will freeze stuff, and when everyone forgets its existence, then I toss it (or if it's home baked cookies, I'll put them into the kids' school lunches a couple a day until they're gone).

I have discovered that if it's not on the counter, I can usually withstand the temptation.

Forgive yourself, Hadass. Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you.

    Yeah, after being good all day I got into the Christmas leftovers last night. Kate had a friend over and I had hoped they would eat some of them up. I know I need to throw them out, but they represent many hours of my December weekends and I'm not yet resigned to throwing them away. Many of the cookies, I took a bite of and then threw them away--they just didn't taste as good as they looked. I recorded approximately what I ate, kept a few of the favorites and threw the ones I made primarily for others to enjoy away. So now I'm down to just the girls' and my favorites. If the girls don't eat them today, I'm tossin' em.
