MINI BINGE YESTERDAY

Well yesterday was not a good eating day for me.  I have a hard time resisting FREE food at work, even if not healthy for me.  And I really hate it if the food was not worth the mini binge I had.  At work they had free breakfast and lunch Thursday and Friday.  Thursday I was fine and then Friday they had one of my favorites and I gave in.  I had the 2 donuts for breakfast and I was not able to turn down the pizza at lunch.  I did not stop there and the day just sort of spiraled into a graze every 2 hours on junk.  So my binge amounted to 2 pound this morning on the scale.  I will have that off by Monday or Tuesday.  You know how it goes.  One day to put it on and 3 or more days to take it off.

It is hard for me to get out of the mentality of 1 or 2 screw ups does not have to mean the whole day is blown.  I am getting better at it but yesterday I was truly out of control.  I knew yesterday the pizza and donuts would start me off on a binge.  Especially the pizza.  AND THE SAD PART IT WAS NOT THE GOOD PIZZA.  Meaning the good Chicago Pizza!!  It was cheap pizza you could get any where.  I know I am bad but if I am going to have a bad day I always say let it be worth it.  Any way enough on yesterday.  I am letting it go right now.

Today I am feeling better and letting go of yesterday's bump in the road.  I just planned my meals for today and I am going to health club to have a nice long work out at my leisure.  That is the beauty of working out on Saturday evening.  No wait for machines, nice and quiet, nobody chatting, etc.  I love working out on Saturday evenings when I have the chance to do so. 

Thanks in advance for your support.  Just needed to reflect on yesterday this morning before I get up and about.  I just gave you the jest but I can't dwell on forever because today is a new day and I will never be perfect but I have to make sure I do not have too many bad days because they will sabotage my goals. Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Hi Molly,
Don't beat yourself of too bad because we're all had those days where we just give way to the temptation.  I agree with you after we've given into whatever it was we ate we find it wasn't worth the calories.  It didn't taste at all like we expected, and those that know we had surgery are looking at us cross-eyed saying "Are you supposed to be eating that?"

You're doing the right thing...take it too the gym and lay it out with a good sweaty workout!

Hello,

Thanks Dreamgirl--And I am so happy to report that I did get that good sweaty workout in at they gym.  I was so tired girl, but I pushed myself to that gym.  I did not make it there until late but I knew going would help me physically and mentally.  Even though I was dead tired-- after wards I was pumped and you know once you get there you are fine, it is just the getting there.  I closed the gym at 8.  Saturday is not a gym day for me either.  It use to be but Saturdays are so hectic for me I usually just try to squeeze in a aerobic DVD in the mornings.  I do them when I can't get to the gym.  They are better than nothing.  I prefer gym workout because you get so much more with the strenght training machines and cardio machines.  My feeling is the DVD workout that I am able to do with my bad knees will never compare to my gym workouts.  The machines help me to burn more calories.  Speaking of burning calories, how is the Body bug working out for you?  Thanks again for your support!!!

Hugs,
Molly

Molly, Sorry that you did not have a good day.  But - at the end - it was just one day - and you did not make it into a week long of binging.  
Also - sometimes we need that one day - to make us realize what is our goal. Knowing that the pizza was not that good - make it also a good experience. Remember that next time they have the cheap pizza - and ask yourself if that is really what you want - or wait a day or to get a piece of the really good pizza. 
Sorry - but there is no excuse for a donuts - that was simply wrong.  This - IMO - is the worst food for anybody - next time - get something that it is still a dessert - but have some benefits for you - i..e good chocolate, a whole grain muffin, etc...

Beside that - you took a break - and I will not be surprised if after you lose the extra water you gained from the binge (lets face it - you could not gain fat)  - you may even see some extra loss.  Our body is strange that way.

Keep strong.  Keep happy. Forgive yourself... Feel good.

Thanks Hala!!
