143.4

Yay! weight finally dropped! I was surprised and cautiously happy to see a new number never seen before..!

The day started off well with my coffee and brunch of scrambled eggs. However, around 5 pm when I went to pick up basic groceries, I was hit by a hankering for some bad foods...just couldn't get the thought of some cashews and a chocolatey atkins bar out of my mind. So I stopped by CVS and picked up some...mixed nuts!!! again!! barely managed to stay away from them for one day, and then off I go again! Sabotage at work? given that I lost weight today?? hmmmm...

I came home and had 4-5 servings of this stuff!! Just couldnt stop! And then felt really bad...sleepy, full, and couple hours later had acidity and almost wanted to throw up!!! What IS with this vile addiciton???? When am I ever going to conquer these damn addictions!! I am stronger than these childish impulses! What the hell!!

I know some of this was stress-eating..emotionally on a bit of a low as I've been having fights with someone I am very close to, and can't call upon their support during a very trying time in my life right now. Other than that, all the writing of journal articles I've been doing is wearing on me...I can't seem to always feel the energy, creativity, and confidence to keep going..all of these factors were weighing on me today and as a result I didnt feel like going to the gym either.

Well, thanks to the inspiration from a friend's effort, I finally decided to go workout at nearly midnight!! It was tiring to run so I did only 2 mins of that, and overall 30 mins on treadmill (218 calories, 2.08 miles) and 30 mins on bike (155 calories, 6.55 miles). Did sweat a fair bit esp on the bike (4-6 level).

Meal totals:
scrambled eggs (1) with celery and scallions (1), meatless crumbles (2), and cheese
atkins bar: (2)
nuts: (20 carbs)
coffee (4 carbs)
laughing cow cheese (1)
total: 31 carbs

If you read my journal the other day, I had stayed away for 2 weeks and the only reason I had come up with was that I was tired of talking about diet, food, and exercise....sometimes we just need to walk the walk and talk the talk later...I guess. Did that make sense? Anyway, I still think you're doing great and if only the nuts didn't make you feel like crap, aren't they okay...considering you're still losing?

Congrats on the new low. I know all about the self-sabotage/lose weight/gain it back/lose again syndrome. Nuts are such dangerous things. They seem so small and harmless, too. Just say no! Oh, if it were that easy.... Keep fighting the good fight. You can do it!
