Its Saturday.
I went for a bike ride yesterday and my ass is so sore now. Ugh. Remind me not to do that until I can get a new seat or something to solve that problem. Its really not worth it. There are other ways to work my quads. And if I want to enjoy the weather, I'll just take a nice walk.
Uggghhh! The weekends are the hardest times. I do fine Monday- Thursday. I eat foods that make me feel good and because I feel good I can stick to my exercising.
But for some reason, on the weekends, its like I subconsciously give myself pseudo-permission to eat whatever is around me.
I never used to be like this. I was always able to pass up high calorie temptations. So why now?!?! why the past few months...
Well, sometimes its not even high calorie/junk food. Its just too much of good food.
I think its because I have gotten so used to it that its hard to pull away from it. Like a bad habbit! GAWD! its driving me crazy.
Well, the good thing is that normally I would just go all out all weekend and pig out. But I dont want to do that, so I am going to start off today with doing a good work out.
That outta shake the snack-attacks outta me.
I feel like I have tripped and stumbled, but I have not fallen! I need to keep going!

Perhaps you are just finding a new rhythm ... a way to live that is not constantly on a "diet" but also isn't like you used to live. Sometimes I think when we break our routine it is very easy to slip into auto pilot behaviors. At least it is for me. I still struggle with the concept that I can go out, enjoy a good meal, and that doesn't mean I have "blown" it and should eat everything in sight or that comes to mind. It is amazing how strong those old feelings can be for me. I like your idea of exercising on the weekend too whenever possible. Develop some kind of "weekend routine" that gives you some wiggle room but doesn't overwhelm you. You are making excellent progress ... not just with your physical self but with your emotional, spiritual, intellectual self. You just keep writing, keep reading, and stay CONSCIOUS about what you choose to do!! You are a wonderful young woman who deserves to be content in her life and enjoy herself!!! With that said, go "rest your buns" ... and have fun!!!

Hey there!! I just looked at your food journal from yesterday. EXCELLENT choices!!! Maybe you are eating more but such GOOD FOOD!!! Nothing wrong with what you ate at all! And, still ... you were just under 1500 calories ... I am imagining that is just fine for you!

thank you carol! I know that my food choices werent the worst, but i ate one of these cookies that winco carries. They caught my attention because they were made with whole grain flour and flaxseed- which gave them lots of protein and fiber. They also have coconut in them, which recent studies have shown is actually VERY good for you. The only 'bad' thing about them is they are very calorie dense. One cookie is almost 340 calories. Oi... that a lot. But they are so, so good! They are so chewy, soft and wonderful.

No Winco here ... the cookie sounds marvelous!!! Probably worth every calorie!! It is an interesting journey to learn to make peace with food and to enjoy it without guilting ourselves, isn't it? I'm pretty much a babe in arms, barely crawling let alone walking as I learn how to eat "normally" whatever the heck that is!!! Still I'm enjoying it ... feeling sooo good about pants that zip up easily, tops that are too loose, and catching my reflection in a mirror or glass and wondering who the heck that tall, okay looking woman is!!! I'm so glad you are on here and so glad you write so much ... hope you are having a wonderful Sunday!!

Ah, the evil bike seat... Hey Imma ride my bike... bbl!! XD Lol, anywho, I got an old lady seat, it helped a lot. I don't think you went overboard with the food. You need nutrients, it's a fact of life. You made good healthy choices. I keep repeating to myself, food is not evil, but necessary. . . eh anyway, I'm workin' on it too.
