I guess it could be worse? Only 1/2 a pound lost for the week is better than nothing. I was doing really well until last Sunday when I had a Brunch out with 3 of my clients and then there was a Super Bowl party. I had one mimosa at the brunch and vegan pancakes (I only ate 1/2 of that) but it left me feeling like I was going to fall asleep at the wheel driving to my sister's house. When I got there I needed to lie down in the worst way. i guess I have been doing without all those excitotoxins and processed carbs and couldn't take the hit. At the SB party we brought a dish we could share though it was still vegan hot dogs in crescent rolls. There were only 2 other food items we could eat there-vegan dumplings and one guy made a broccoli/tofu stir fry with soy sauce. He wasn't even vegan but he liked this recipe. So I only had one small plate of food but man the salt levels-through the roof. Later I had a cocktail my husband made for the party and one each of the cupcakes I had made for the party-chocolate almond ones and mango/coconut. They were normal size cupcakes-not huge. The funny thing is that there were bowls of crackers, chips, pretzels and cheesy puffs sitting right in front of me and I never noticed them AT ALL. Plus vegan chocolate candy strewn about. Never saw it until I was helping the hostess clean up. Now there was some Caramel Corn with almonds and raisins in a big bowl. The other vegan at the party had made it and boy did I ever chow down on that-like 2 of those paper party bowls worth of it. I clearly need a rule for the popcorn. So overall I thought I did pretty well. I sure didn't binge on anything like I would have in the past but on Monday morning I was up nearly 4 lbs! I spent all last week working that off. I am prepared and motivated for a brand new week. I would love, love, love to be down to 232 by next Sunday. I have a massage exchange with a therapist that dropped 8 lbs in January "just by quitting her wine habit." I am feeling competitive with her for some strange reason. Maybe it's motivating me? Anyway, it's time WE Get to IT everybody. Have a healthy and productive week ahead. Keep reaching for your goals.
