Bad girl.. but back on track - MONDAY

Ok this weekend was a total wash. We didn't end up working out at all. I thought I would at my mom's house in Jersey but the ride just wiped us out. I did really good at my cousins surprise party. Family and friends came from all over the place. I got lots of compliments as it was the first time they have seen me since my surgery. The party was at a country club on a beautiful golf course. Ton of fun! Kind of like a Bar Mitzvah or wedding for a 50 year old. His wife hired a DJ, professional dancers, and it was all done in NY Yankees theme with these really nifty old school baseball center pieces. Greg Nettles (old Yankee from 70 - 80's era) came and signed baseballs that said "Happy 50th Scott" on them. The dancers started out in Yankee Cheerleader outfits and had a couple other costumes during the evening, salsa, Broadway NY, NY style, etc. I did really good with the food. Took my time, had a couple bites of some very yummy cheese and a cracker but passed on all the butlered Hors d'Oeuvres. They had some guy stadium style tossing out bags of cracker jacks and I passed on those with no problem. For the sit down meal I had some lettuce greens and then ate just a few oz of chicken with very little sauce on it. The cake looked fantastic but I didn't have any and ordered some sugar free ice cream. The waiter brought this huge amt but I managed to just eat a few bites and was totally satisfied. I felt victorious to be able to be out at an event and not feel deprived or the need to overeat. Here is the bad girl part.... so on the way back home on Sunday we hit a ton of traffic and decided to stop for some food on the ride home. I had already eaten about a ful pint of blueberries while sitting in traffic for 3 hours but wanted to stop for some "real" food. We stopped at Burger King! I had one tiny bite of Dana's whopper, about 10 french fries, and the top half of the bread with a little cheese on it.... I was so ill. I think I must have temporarily lost my mind thinking I could get away with eating that. I didn't really but my stomach burned and I was in pain and sweating. As soon as we walked in the door I laid down and slept for about an hour in a half. So this morning is a new day and I am back on track. I still feel a little off from eating poorly yesterday and just tired in general but managed to get through 35 minutes of spinning and 12 sets of upper body stuff. Now I'm having a protein shake. Have a great week!

The whopper and fries was most likely kinder than the Cracker Jacks would have been, trust me, been there own the t-shirt You have to go thru that to keep you centered, it will not be the last, but it will be a while That is the beauty of it, tomorrow really is a new fresh start, and you will do great.
