Shoot me and put me to bed

Not really, I'm just disgusted with everything right now. Grrr, I am so darn mad at myself, I know I am PMSing and feeling like crap and add to that my son had me up at 4 a.m. this morning.  I've done so bad on my food choices today I feel like I should just call it a day and forget about consuming anything tonight.   I hate when I do this, know it will only bring me down and feel crappy so why do I do this to myself. Running on empty right now and I've committed to bringing the boys to a bonfire tonight....our neighbors are doing one and we've only met twice so I hate to back out now......and to boot she is having margaritas, the best in our town.....I am wanting to have one but know I shouldn't do it. What a day.......I'm planning for tomorrow (yea I said I was today too *pout*) but right now I have NY Strips marinating in the refrigerator, I will be cooking up some chicken tomorrow, steamed broccoli and oka and tomatoes.    I have been flying by the seat of my pants for several days now, I have to regain control.

Go to the bonfire have a margarita and call it a day.  You can get back on track tomorrow.  You have good food choices planned for Sunday and start then. Ok, now I have done nothing but eat chips and hot sauce all day today...and I don't have good food choices planned for tomorrow.  I was going to make gumbo tonight but I had porkchops already defrosted from yesterday...we decided at the last minute to go out to eat. Seems like when I make gumbo I really have a hard time with my sodium...always puffy feeling.  Oh well, I will get back on track Monday.  Have fun if you decide to go to the bonfire.  Jodi

Now Dana.... there are days we just gotta have a day where we dont worry.  I have seen you stressing and remember you have been doing well.  Last week u did the 5dp and your body is probably doing a little catch up.  It is all good.. Look at your weight yesterday and how well you are doing overall.  enjoy the day and start again tomorrow.. I do that everyother saturday at the MIL house.  so enjoy.. have a drink for me and tomorrow know you already got it worked out. big hug Carla

Its ok.. everyone has days that just arent gonna work for the pouchy, you take it and move on. Dont be to hard on yourself..I say wind this day up with a marga' and call it a day. Tomorows brand new!!

I agree~go have the margarita and worry about this tomorrow! Hey, we all have "those days" but don't beat yourself up over it!!! You are SO good most days that you're bound to let loose once in awhile. I know it feels crappy, but tomorrows another day and you can refocus then!  By the way, I don't think I have ever seen a before pic of you!!!! Wow, what a dramatic change!!!!

Have a good time, have a margarita, eat that steak and tomorrow you will probably be thinner LOL I ate 2 small slices of pizza tonight. and have a belly ache, I feel so much better with my drinks and fish.....I will probably gain 2 lbs.

Try not to beat yourself up over this....you'll get back on track tomorrow.  I know how frustrated you feel....dealing with our eating is something we'll be doing everyday for the rest of our lives.  Good luck! Mary Ellen

Dana... It must be one of those kind of weekends! I got a call from relatives passing thru town and wanted to spend the night.  So I spent the night preparing a luncheon...I baked 24 banana muffins, some with walnuts, some without, some with chocolate chips...LOL  I had to taste!  I ate TWO!!!  OMIGOD!  They were not a good food choice... Then I made a fruit salad and I ended up picking here and there with no rhyme or reason ...I decided Iwould never get thru today if I didn't just give up and serve a buffet of all kinds of stuff all day long...Lunch snacks and dinner.... So I had my two cupcakes friday night  (can't even remember if I logged in my food yet)  I know I didn't add them yet!  LOL It was late...So I popped a giant pork shoulder in the crock pot and made pulled pork...I didn't want to tell anyone I was not supposed to exert myself...Just washing sheets for 6 extra adults and finding a bed for everyone was exertion! So today I thought I'd blow it...and I did opposite though...I doubt I got even 500 calories today. I was too exhausted to eat...By the time I cooked and served and sat down I just wanted my water...:::phew::: They are all asleep and I have to start with bacon eggs and pancakes in the morning! Big eaters!!! (Some bed rest  weekend this is!) I'm beat!  Got sloshed on a glass of wine and could barely function for dinner clean up!  I HATE surprise company...IN LARGE groups!  I love them...but I was so not prepared for people who have no idea what getting in protein and watching carbs means or what do you mean you have no bread?  No soda? LOL So...You are not alone this weekend in unfamiliar territory. I felt so out of my element...I forgot how to cook regular food! It was weird!  I only have to get thru breakfast tomorrow and they are back on the road to Jersey... I enjoyed them...but the food thing was something I was not prepared for on a whim!  I'll tell you what though...We had a great time and so what?  Two days of not eating right was worth the fun we all had. No one went to bed hungry except maybe me! LOL

Well, today is tomorrow and I hope you're feeling better! :) Nobody's perfect, that's for sure, and most of the time you do pretty well, don't you? I think you should reach around and pat yourself on the back.

Let me put it in perspective for you Ms. Dana...here's my food diary for today: Breakfast (4:50 am CDT standing in line to check my bags for my flight): 2 pieces of string cheese (so far, so good...) Snack on the plane (sometime between 6:15 and 8:50am CDT): a 1 oz. bag of graham crackers and a cup of water. Breakfast #2 (7:30am PDT): Spinach, turkey bacon, egg and cheese panini (only ate 1/2 the bread) and two 20 oz. iced teas at Einstein Bros. Bagels (having a second breakfast, not really a great idea, but I was hungry). I sat there checking email and working on my presentation for tomorrow for 2.5 hours, so I totally nursed the iced teas. Since then? 4 oz. of Wheat Thins Multi-grain Toasted Chips. Oh, and don't forget the 4 cigarettes, or do we not count those as nutrition? I think I'm going to head to happy hour soon...well, when it starts at 5:30pm PDT. I'm thinking I'll do happy hour until it ends at 7:30 because that's when my colleagues should arrive. Then I'll make them take me somewhere for dinner which will hopefully involve some crab or a tuna steak. Go have the margarita. You don't do it everyday. As long as your good eating days are balancing your bad eating days, don't sweat it so much.
