This is going to be a short post as I'm tired and want to go to bed early. Not my best day, but no guilt because things happen. Like yesterday, I had corporate visitors at work so no walk at lunch and lunch was brought in for us. Also like yesterday I didn't do to bad eating only my sandwich, a bag of chips and a cookie. I got my gallon of water in and I chose not to bring snacks knowing I was going to have lunch from Panera.
The day was fine, but I think my mistake came from not bringing snacks. By the time I got home I was starving and I only had 5 minutes before having to bring my daughter to basketball practice. I had about 4 ounces of chicken and some veggies before rushing back out the door.
The 5 minute dinner didn't stick with me and I was starving yet again when I got home from basketball. That's when I broke into the leftover Chinese food. I was so hungry I ate it cold; probably about 500 more calories than I should have.
Some takeaways here? First, I need to bring my snacks even if I know I'm going out to lunch. I do my best when I eat every 3-4 hours and it does no good to skip just because I had more calories earlier in the day. Second, I need to keep the temptations out of the fridge. The Chinese was from Sunday's unrestricted day; I should have tossed it out. Lastly, I need to forgive myself and get right back at it. Tomorrow's Day #10 and it's a new day to start fresh.
-Stay Strong!
Lessons learned, now move on! :-) Take care!
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same problem when I skip something. It trips me up. The key for me in making sure I have options to not skip, even if they're not totally appealing. :)
