Yesterday and today's weight: 212.8
It was actually the same both days so I don't feel so bad that I missed out on posting yesterday. We just got home way too late and I was sleepy.
Let me recap Thursday:
Yet another AWESOME day on managing my diet. I stuck to my plan all day and then we went to a charity dinner. I did really well there too. I got small portions food and got to have a piece of chocolate cake for dessert. Then we stopped by to see some friends. She offered me ice cream. Triple chocolate ice cream. But with a little (okay, a lot) of encouragement from my husband, I turned it down.
Me. I turned down ice cream.
"Hello, Devil? This is Meredith. Is it getting cold there yet?"
I did not exercise or workout because I couldn't fit into the day since we were going out.
Friday (today): Not so good. I woke up in a funk. That should've put me on my guard. When I get tired, stressed, or emotional I want to eat. I ate a sub for lunch (about 6-8 inches) and then had a single serving container of ice cream, which was about 250 calories. I don't think it was so horrible calorie wise but it was horrible nutritionally. For dinner we had BLT pizza. But I only had one slice!
My normal mode of operation when I have eaten too much early in the day is to say, "Screw it!" and pig out at dinner. I decided I was NOT going to do that today. I had a single slice of pizza which I really shared with my son, he had about 4 bites (baby bites) of it and he ate the crust.
I feel like some progress has been made. I am gaining control of this, or as my husband says, "Slaying the lion". There is a great Bible lesson in that statement that I may share later.
That sounds like progress to me!! Keep up the great work!!
