I must admit it was so easy to give up/in. Sunday I was gung-ho - my husband and I did 2 hours of hiking, it was hot, and by 3pm all I'd eaten for the day was a 6-inch sub. But after that, everything started to go downhill.
I ate popcorn while watching a movie at home
On Monday, I stopped in at Dunkin Donuts. The plan was to get egg/cheese wraps, which aren't that bad calorie-wise. But their machines were down, and rather than just turn around and walk out, I got a Boston Creme donut (my old favorite).
After that I was shopping for Memorial Day picnic, which included a fancy broccoli/cranberry/sunflower seed salad, potato salad, steak, chicken, brownies and cookies, etc. So after all the food preparing, I did have a larger meal - juicy cheeseburger.
I also didn't exercise Monday - and I was really trying to keep up with the 30-day exercise challenge. I was thinking of just counting the time I spent walking while I was shopping, but that would be cheating.
Then came Tuesday, where I really, really blew it. I went to the gym as usual. I was reading a book, so after the gym I sat home and read and had a yogurt. But then my son wanted to be picked up from school (16, emotional), so I went and got him. When I left, I swung by the local Stewarts and got junk food - a diet coke, charleston chew, caramel creams. I had the caramel creams eaten before I even got to work. I stopped and got a bagel twist and ate that.
At work I ate the charleston chew, and two of the yogurts. Then I picked up my other son and headed home, where I had two steaks (fairly small and thin), the rest of the cranberry/broccoli salad, my son's leftover chicken strips, an ice cream sandwich, a little debbie roll, another yogurt, and some cheese.
Even as I was cutting up some cheese I was saying to myself why are you doing this? My stomach was already complaining about the steak (I don't handle red meat as well as I used to, I think because I eat so much chicken now instead), and yet I still wanted to keep eating!
That's one of my problems with dieting - when I fall off the wagon, I just keep falling - I can't just have the candy bar, I have to have the candy bar AND the ice cream AND ...
But I'm back today because I need to get back at this, and back in control of my diet. I DO want to lose this weight, I CAN lose this weight.
So I was hoping to be 234 today, and instead I'm 237. (And I expect that number will go up tomorrow, given what I ate yesterday). Still, I'm not 244 (my highest), or even 239 (where I started on this site).
Not quite starting over ...
