Weekend Ruined
So this weekend started off ok, I had a busy day with the boys, that stated at 7am. Breakfast on Saturday was the only healthy meal I ended up eating. After eating relatively healthy and certainly correct portion sizes, I could not get over how icky I felt. Now the reason for my lack of discipline was that I was not feeling good this weekend, thanks to a sinus infection. However, I forgot that I am in control, not food! I let the fact that I did not feel well take over and ate whatever I felt like. The result was that the scales this morning showed me up 5 pounds from Friday. Now I logged every ugly thing I ate, and I did not eat 5 pounds worth of food. So I know that is water weight from the high sodium in the foods I ate. So, I have to work harder to not let the way I feel over-power my decisions to eat healthy and responsibly. I know this is a long journey and that I did get the weight I am overnight and I will not lose it overnight either. What I can do is learn from every pitfall and every set back as well as the little victories. This is a life-style change and not a "diet" and what's done is done. Today I stated with a clean plate, and ended the day with over 350 calories remaining in my daily budget and completely satisfied. I consider that a victory!
