Well, here it is Friday, January 6th and I am definitely realizing the effects of "letting go" through the holidays. Getting back on the right track has proven to be more difficult than I anticipated. Journaling has gone well, but I am still facing those daily demons of "unexpected occurrences". Example: Yesterday Michael and Keith decided to bring me lunch.....well, I had already had my day planned out, so when they brought me lunch it completely messed me up. Instead of 160 calorie lunch of PB2 and sugar free jelly, I had Zaxby's chicken, a few fries and bread....total calories of 460; 300 more than I had planned. NOW....mind you IF I had just had two pieces of chicken and left it at that, I might have been okay with that at a total of 173 calories. Also, keeping in mind that I ate three chicken strips, only ate a few fries and didn't eat all the bread, but the increase of calories for that extra piece of chicken, few fries and 1/2 bread was detrimental in messing up my entire day of caloric intake. Then last night instead of eating light like I had planned, we unexpectedly went out and ended up eating fast food of Wendy's, and again....I ate too much food.....blew me off the charts w/ my goal of 1200 calories.
So, the moral of my story is......that slippery slope is very dangerous and once I go down it, it is very difficult to for me to get back on track....HOWEVER, I refuse to give up and today is a completely new day and I still have 37 more pounds to lose......so today I pledge to stay on track no matter what comes up.
The good thing about this week; my foot is better and I have been walking again this week. So...I guess the week hasn't been a total loss, plus I have lost 1 of the 5 lbs I gained through the holidays. I will be doing some updated pictures over the next week and am even planning on pulling out the clothes I had on in my very first picture and taking a picture with them on....hmmmm!
