Climbing Back Onto The Wagon

I'm feeling pretty frustrated with myself today. I fell off the wagon with diet and exercise over the last few days. I was so good about working out at the beginning of last week. I went to the gym Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Even if I didn't get in a full workout, I still managed to at least get in some time on the treadmill. Thursday, I was so sore from my intense workout on Tuesday night that I could barely stand up straight let alone go to the gym. Once I lost my momentum, there was a reason to not work out for the rest of the week and through the weekend. I could have made time, but I didn't. Instead, I let myself make excuses and be lazy.

As far as food goes, some meals were very healthy, but I over did it on others. I got carried away with our leisurely weekend and snacked on too much junk food. I ate way too much fatty food. Now, it's still a far cry from the weekends when we'd devour a whole Digiorno Stuffed Crust Pizza and a gallon of ice cream. I've made some healthy changes, so over indulging is a little different to me now than it used to be. Even so, I'm upset that I allowed myself to give into temptation. My body wasn't too pleased either. This morning when I woke up, I was sluggish and groggy, and my stomach was upset for most of the day. My body was definitely telling me that it wasn't happy with what I put in it over the weekend. I guess that's a good sign. I've gotten used to healthy food, so when I eat junk my body rejects it. Next time I want to stop and get fast food on after a long day at work, I'll probably think twice because I know my body won't be happy about it. Hopefully I didn't do too much damage over the weekend. I'm a little worried about weigh-in this week.

Today, I was better with my food. For breakfast, I had strawberry yogurt with some banana and strawberries sliced in and a cup of coffee.

My boss took me and a coworker of mine out to lunch. They wanted Mexican food, so I did my best to find something healthy on the menu. I shot a quick email to my email support group for ideas, and a friend told me to get the chicken fajitas with no tortillas, so that's what I ended up getting. It was pretty good, but still a little too heavy.

For dinner, I was craving nothing but vegetables, so I steamed some broccoli and carrots.

For dessert, I'll have some berries. I have such a sweet tooth, I have to have some kind of dessert at the end of the day. I've found some really great diet desserts. Smart Ones and Skinny Cow both have a good selection of delicious, chocolatey goodies. Tonight, though, I think I'll stick with the fruit.
