Feb 16, Sat
Earlier this evening I debated with the urge to by-pass my urge for chinese food and go downstairs and work out--or just cave in and use this one last time to actually enjoy the chinese food and catch up on some movies. And despite my best intentions, I willingly and knowingly chose option 2--no regrets--just my final hurrah!

So, thus, tonight I've done all the self-indulgent stuff that I wanted to get out of my system (bad food, no healthy-cooking, watching lots of tv/movies, not working out, not doing my work, or taking care of any useful errands...all day of relaxation and depravity). Ok, so, fine, it's done. No guilt. Tomorrow, starting at 8 am, I am starting afresh...seriously working out, eating right, no moderation--plain old disciplined eating for the next 2 weeks--no ifs-and-or buts. THis is my official promise on FS here...I'm quitting horsing around and officially gettng back on that horse (I know I said that earlier--but this time I really mean it!). Two weeks of strict observance--until this becomes a natural-enough habit.
Exercise today: 30 mins of treadmill and 2 sets of few upper-body weights
Food:
coffee,
1/2 cup air-popped popcorn (2 pts) ,
2 vegi patties (4 pts)
walnuts--2 ounces? (6-8 points)
2 curves bars (4 points)
rice--1 cup (4 points)
Soy kung pao chicken (soy and peanuts with veggies): 15 points?

YES, I KNOW, THAT's BINGING AND ITS GONNA COST ME A LOT, BUT I"LL WORKOUT EXTRA HARD TOMORROW AND HOPEFULLY OFFSET THE DAMAGE...

The best part about it is your honesty. Having the courage to own up to what you have consumed and how many points is really eye opening. To be able to admit it to yourself, and the WORLD is amazing. I've hidden my secret evening binges, and pretended that they didn't happen, then I wonder why the scale stayed the same for two weeks straight. It wasn't a plateau it was a fat-eau. I think it is a great idea to have a going away party for self-indulgence. Lately, when I've splurged (last night for instance, 2 pints of beer out with friends and cookies back at home) I look back on it and ask if it was 'worth it'. Sometimes the answer is yes. Last night, the dry cookies were nothing to write home about, so no. But being honest is the only way to accurately judge whether an occaisional splurge is worth it. I am so impressed with your openess -- so much so that I am vowing to be brutally honest with my intake as well. Thanks! PS I enjoy reading your food entries - I like to see how others spend their points.
