So, traditionally, today is the day I reach a new low. Well, not today. Not even close. However, I feel that I am in a good place about it, I know (mostly) where things went wrong and I know what I need to do about it.
I will first of all skip Indulgence Day today. I had it Wednesday - though not intentially - and I don't need another one already. I might go slightly over my calories, as we are having guests for dinner tonight, but it won't be a full-on Indulgence Day. I have no intentions of going shopping, and there is NO chocolate in the house, other than cocoa powder which I use in a shake now and then. Even that I will try to steer clear of.
It's 7:30 am, and I am trying to hold off a little eating breakfast this morning. Normally, we wake up a little later, and get going on the food right away, but since we're up early I'm a little concerned that I will just end up being hungry again WAY too early for lunch.
So instead, I ate a small pear to get my metabolism going, and I'm having über-delish almond flavored coffee, and chit chatting with Wife as she is organizing one of our living room cabinets. Good times.
Eventually, in an hour or so, breakfast will be a vegetarian omelet, one of my weekend morning favorites. Low on calories, and oh so tasty! I might even make a larger one and have the other half for lunch.
I'm not sure what dinner will be yet - but my snacks throughout the day will be smoothies from frozen berries and 0.5% milk. Great on the calories, and a new favorite, I think.
Today's gonna be a good day. I'm ready for it.
As you can probably tell, I'm determinted to get back into the 70's. I'm almost there - 80.2 kgs this morning. I would REALLY like to be back around 77 kgs for next Saturday, so I can feel that I am on target again.
This week has been frustrating. First of all the crazy cravings. They've been unbearable - which is what made me give in. Second of all the crazy weight gain. I hate to see the numbers climb like that. It feels like I am totally dropping the ball, even if I know that it's just a day of doing so-so and a day of doing bad that caused it, and that I am already back on track. I hate the way I get punished by the scale for several days after the fact. I guess I just have to accept it and be happy that I moved on already.
I will also cut down the exercise significantly. I will do the HIIT three times this week, and that's it. This is gonna be the tougher thing to do - to NOT exercise. I hope I can do it. Wow - who knew that I'd EVER be saying THAT!?! :)
Anways, it's family time at the Kingkeld Manor, so I will leave you guys for now.
Today I am thankful for
- being back on track
- A good night's rest - AGAIN!
- Almond coffee
- Hanging with Wife
Have an awesome weekend! Life is good!
