Ending Week 1 with a bang Part 1 (2/1/09)
Saturday mornings are swimming lesson days for Cam; they start at 9:30 and are about a 20 minute drive. I set my alarm for 7am so I would have time to get my workout done before we left. I snoozed until it was too late and then only made coffee and ate a fruit/nut granaola bar before leaving. So, not such a great start to the day from a healthly living standpoint. But we didn't have too much planned today so I figured I could do the workout when we get home about 10:30.
But then we had to go to the library to return some books and toys and for the Chinese New Year celebration they were holding. The Chinese New Year events consisteted of a banquet table set out with paper lantern stencils and the DVD Kung Fu Panda running on the TV. Not an Ox in site anywhere, nor any food. I guess we should be happy they realized it was the CNY at all.
When we got home, I was just tired and hungry, so I had a sandwich and some goldfish. Still no excersie, though Iwas thinking about it and still planned to get it done. And despite not having a very good breakfast, at least I was staying reasonable on calories. I needed to after we went out for dinner the previous night at our favorite mexican food restaurant and I had my usual chicken chipotle dinner. I ordered no sour cream, and drank water; and had only two tortillas, but I managed to put away nearly the whole dish which is a rather complete loss of the portion control I had been excerising all week.
Then we headed out for some appliance shopping and had a snack of a pretzel with awful nacho cheese sip and I had a few drinks of the coke that Mindy and Cam had. By then, I knew it was going to be a blown day and went ahead and had four small pieces of pizza and then made chocoloate chip cookies. These are the same ones Mindy had made earlier in the week, from the America's Test Kitchen cookbook. Definitely the best chocolate chip cookies we had ever made both times. I did pretty good when she made them, having had only 4 total and never more than 1 after dinner and none late at night while we were watching TV. But tonight, it was a disaster and I had 4 of these huge cookies and 1/2 a cup of 1% milk with one of them. That's about 850 calories right there. And of course, no excersise for the day to counter any of it.
I was supposed to weigh in this morning, but I guess it will be tomorrow morning and I'll be lucky to have lost anything after the last 24 hours of eating. I'm a little nervous about losing the control I felt I had through the week and obviously about not maintaining the regimine going forward. That fear is helped by the fact that I haven't entered the last two days of food and excersise into the spreadsheet, though I do have it in hard copy ready to go. Tomrrow is a new day and I will again set my alarm (though later as it's already 2:40am) and do my weigh in and have my oatmeal breakfast before taking my girls out to the weekly daddy/daughter breakfast. It was going too well this week before Friday night so I have to not let the last 24 hours get me down and pick back up where I left off Friday afternoon. It's the individual decisions I make, it's deciding not to have that extra 200 calories in that one more cookie after I know I have already had a high calorie day with no excersise. If I am to do this, I am going to do it one decision at a time, one day, one hour and one minute at a time. It is especially important when I am feeling like I'm losing, or I have already eating 3 cookies when I know I can only have 1; it's choosing not to have the 4th one to save that 200 additional calories.
