Mad at self!!!

I bombed today....  I ate 860 calories for lunch... that over half of what I should consume in a day!!!  Totally negated the 408 calories I burnt at the gym.....  This is the part I hate finding out the calories after the damage is done..... EEEEEWWWWWKKKKK!!!!!

Did you know where you were going before you went?  Are there 3 or 4 places you usually go? You could keep a little list of safe items to eat at local resturants so that you won't have any big suprises when you get there. If all else fails carry an individual packet of FF salad dressing in your purse and order a dry salad. try http://www.minimus.biz/SearchResult.aspx?KeyWords=salad%20dr essing

Inhale..... Exhale..... Inhale....Exhale.....  I guess I could do something like that.... I will recover... just frustrated..... 

What's up Diva... You're allowed to endulge here and there.  You go to the gym almost every day - you've earned a slip.  I know you're disappointed but you can't be expected to stay on a straight path 24/7/365.

Let it go, girl.  You'll be right back on your normal routine tomorrow.

Thanks J-  But man o man..... I am not liking how I feel right now... I can tell a difference... I feel all sluggish and bloated..... This was not the way for me to slip... I am already planning tomorrow to have a protien shake for breakfast and lunch.....  I will be at the gym bright and early....  .  

A perspective to consider:

Weightloss is a journey.

If you think of weight loss in the same way as a journey in the car then you will accept the time taken to make the journey alot easier.

Imagine that the amount of weight you need to lose is the distance your journey takes. Imagine you had to travel a LONG way from A to B.... would you honestly expect to get in the car and drive directly from A to B?  No break? Never stopping? Of course not! If we tried to do that we would probably drive a certain distance then burn out, deciding we didn't really want to go from A to B and then head home. Right back to where we started.

As we travel our weight loss journey we stop from time to time for a break.  We do a little sight seeing, perhaps the car breaks down and has to spend time in the workshop, maybe we are just sick of driving at the moment.  That's OK!  Yes, the journey takes a little longer but we are more likely to continue to the end.  To actually arrive at B.

Think of your lunch as a little sightseeing journey.  The important part is to now get back on the road from A to B. 

Best of luck with your journey.
