Just when I thought I was getting my eating habits back
under control, the cravings came just in time for the weekend. Lucky me. I don’t drink nearly as much water on the weekends
like I do during the week, so that has been a challenge but was getting
better. I have started bringing my
lunches again, so that is another bonus.
As I control what is going in my food and I only have a half an hour
lunch now (got my work hours changed so I can leave earlier YAY.) I was feeling great, not bloated or
blech.
Then here comes the weekend….the stupid chocolate donuts
that my husband brings home, the stupid Jalapeno Cheetos that hubby’s friend
introduced us to (they are good and it’s almost as bad as my past Nacho Cheese
Dorito habit I worked so hard to kick), microwave popcorn and more
Cheetos. Not to mention going out to eat
at Mongolian BBQ, then again for breakfast and having a very fattening yet so
good Shrimp and Eggs Benedict with amazing potatoes and a mimosa to wash it all
down. How much water did I have to drink
over the weekend? I would equal it to a
glass. I did have an apple, so that
counts as healthy right?
So now I am dealing with the after effects, feeling bloated,
blech and sluggish. I wasn’t hungry for breakfast
as I feel so icky from this weekend, but knew I had to eat. Am drinking so much water I feel like I’m
going to float away and am trying to get back on track. I can’t wait to get back to the gym so I can
work off this icky and really need to get my eating back under control. They say that exercise is 20% of it and the
other 80% is your diet. Oh my hell, that
is the hardest part. I have the exercise
part down, although I have been slacking on the weekends as it’s my only time
to clean and Sunday is the only full day I get with my husband. I know…excuses, excuses. Whatever.
I can go for a run before I clean or if it’s going to be a lazy Sunday I
can go then or even after hubby goes to bed. My brain knows this but my heart
tells me “Nah girl you are good today, just chill.” So I do, then regret it and get mad at myself
for it.
I would like to say I won’t do this again, but I know it’s
not true because everybody has a relapse.
Since spring has sprung all the good fruits and veggies are now coming
back, I can keep more of those in the house and munch on those instead of those
stupid donuts and Cheetos. More
strawberries and vanilla yogurt instead of vanilla ice cream.
