The party's over. I'm trying to stay positive and not get down on myself. In genereal my food choices are stellar since I began this program. Why do we focus on the rough spots? Well, because I want perfection. I want to make perfect choices and have a perfect body and be perfectly happy. And now I feel like a toddler on a rant. That's okay. Perfection is not real life, and this is. I can want it all I like, and I can have it if I choose better. But apparently I was not ready to do that yet.
I did get my workouts in. Like clockwork. I am finding it's easier to control something you DO (i.e. exercise) versus something you DO NOT do (like eat the bowl of Sour Cream and Onion Lays at your neighbors BBQ so they have to open another bag). It's all about decision. When I decided I would have no more chips and physically removed myself from within 2 feet of the bowl, I had no more problems. In general still made excellent choices aside from the chips. No sweets, which I thought would be my biggest issue. Yay! But after two days in a row of making diet exceptions, I did the typical thing that dieters do and threw in the towel for the weekend. Not crazy, just several rationalizations. Like there are no Sunday morning waffles on the T25 meal plan...
So Monday came and I was to get back on track. Hmmm. It really is so much better to stay focused. That one stupid handful of candied nuts set me back five days in my eating. And took away some of the progress I had worked so hard for on the scale. Didn't I already learn this lesson over my anniversary? Well here we go again, back to business. Feeling good again.
