Naughty Day for Me

Heya guys, Although yesterday was a good day for me diet/exercise/water-wise, today has been a disaster. I wasn't feeling super well yesterday but didn't think too much about it, but by this morning that had turned into a raw sore throat, swollen glands, fever, painful ear, fatigue, aches, etc.... To compound things, the remnants of my son's birthday cake (a huge trigger food for me) from the evening before were staring at me on the kitchen counter from the moment I took the kids to school. So to make a long story short, pretty much the only things I ate for breakfast and lunch were chocolate cake and ice cream. Ugh! So I added a stomach ache and nausea to my already ailing body. I was a bit better at dinner time eating chicken taquitos (at least they had protein), but way too many of those as well. All I can do at this point is cut my losses and just make sure my fall off the wagon doesn't continue into tomorrow. I'm not weighing in the morning cause I doubt I'll be anywhere near the 171 I was at from the sheer weight of the food I ate alone! I'll just have to hit the exercises really hard tomorrow and try to undo the damage. Anyway, just trying to be accountable by posting my bad days as well as my good. Julie

Oh well it happens.....been a bad weekend and week for me however today i was very much back on track so you are right just cut your losses and move on. This is not a diet this is life. "Momma said there be days like this" You are still doing great! Do even better tomorrow!

that book du jour, You on a Diet, recommends on days like this to try to go for even light exercise, and just move on emotionally. We tend to stay in the guilt for too long. One day, even two is not the end of the world for your usually healthy ways. In your case, i think you realize that you seem to have not eaten too much lately due to the stress, weird things, etc happening in your life. I'm surpirsed you don't freak out more often! You have remarkable control. Thank you for the "confession" LOL!
