LuC2's Journal, 28 April 2014

Forgive me Father of Weightloss, for I have sinned...Do I even need to say that today was not a good day!?!?! Our air conditioner went out yesterday evening. Of course, I noticed as I had the oven heating the whole first floor of the house -- was baking a blueberry lemon breakfast cake for the family today. Needless to say, it was a miserable night and even hotter today when the repairman finally made it this evening. (We're already creeping towards the 100's in Southeast Texas!) Getting on to the sin...I was so hot, I ate Blue Bell Southern Blackberry Cobbler ice cream! {{gasp!}} Add that to the blueberry crumb cake this morning and it's been a banner day :(

Yes, the cake used turbinado, yogurt and whole wheat flour...but still, I feel so incredibly guilty. I only had a pint of ice cream (it was a gift) and I only ate 1 serving (a half-cup, 4oz) and put the rest of the pint in the freezer. But Blue Bell has changed its formula and there were plenty unpronouceable ingredients, hfcs, and even shortening (real cobbler bits)! Hungry...too hot to cook (and Heaven help us if I turned on the oven)...I felt like crying...

I've not been weighing (Trust Fall Challenge) and I'm just deathly afraid that I've undone weeks of work over the last few days -- even though it's highly unlikely. I've been very cautious but I feel like I've struggled for the last week finding my rhythm again. A week ago I bought nothing at the bakery standing next to my sons eating their treats...so proud. Yet, today, ice cream featuring high fructose corn syrup (a Frankenstein sugar) after so many weeks denying the refined! So defeated.

I didn't work out earlier today (too darn hot)! Didn't cook dinner (PeiWei take-out, Kung Pao Tofu no nuts). But I make a vow to do my 2-mile Leslie Sansone tonight. I'll probably be okay on calories and fat|protein|carb split...but my choices don't feel like the best.

However, feeling a little better now that the house has cooled to a breezy, 75-degrees F and I'm no longer starving. I will be back paying homage to WeightLoss tomorrow. I have a message for refined foods (esp that ice cream I ate), "I will surive!" <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tth-8wA3PdY> I think the lyrics from the 70's song are aprospo! "Go on now go, walk out the door. Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore..."

You are doing fine, I probably wouldn't have even tried to track on a day like that. *hugs* just get back on tomorrow now that you have your ac back and keep going. You have been doing great, don't let one day get you down =) Remember you did resist that bakery last time and you will do it again. Be proud that this is the anomaly, not the norm- that in itself is an awesome win!

Thanks SO much, Calyn...I just kept hearing in my head, "This is how it starts..." I just really don't want to regress and have my body craving things that it thought I'd put to rest!

It's only how it starts if you let it be a start. Instead make it a step back and keep on going. You really are doing great. <3

I have a lot of respect for you giving up the refined processed junk. You have done amazingly well. Don't let your one splurge make you feel 'undone'. I never stopped eating all that crap (from time to time) and I'm still chugging along. I wish I could trade you a little heat for a little of the chilly we have going on here. Then we could both be happy lol. Keep your chin up, :-) and have a good day!

I'm so glad that is behind you and that you get a chance to start fresh today. Be proud that you practiced moderation and that you know what to do get back to business.
