I had told myself that since I skipped Friday's workout, then I wouldn't cheat this weekend although I was allowed to. Yet I found myself at the picnic table stuffing my face with cheesy brats and Doritos. What happened?!
Well first of all, I made excuses. "We're out camping, and it's a special weekend so I'm allowed to cheat." But I didn't just cheat, I binged. I had all of this delicious-looking food presented to me, and I ignored what my body was telling me. When I was full, I kept on eating. There was no reason for that because we had even taken precautions: I knew that there would be hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, and other unhealthy things--so we took chicken breast to grill. When I got there and saw the spread, I completely forgot about the pounds I had lost this week, about how much progress I was making mentally, and all I could think about was shoving my face with food.Now--I did have a setback. But it's to be expected. I'm not depressed over it, and I'm not going to starve myself to make up for what I'd lost...or in this case, gained back. I know that I will have to work hard this week to keep the progress up. I am going to up my workouts seeings as they were never THAT intensive anyways. I would sweat, sure, but I never left feeling sore so in my opinion, I wasn't working very hard. More cardio, more strength traning, harder ab workouts.
I'm ready. Let's do this.
Today is Meatless Monday. I will post an update tonight what my workout was, my calorie intake, and how I am feeling. Time is ticking away with 54 days left. I want to come back to school feeling great about my choices this summer, and ready to continue chugging along the weightloss train. My goal was and remains 25 pounds, but if I am to even come close to that goal, I will have to power up that will, and know that the minutes it takes to enjoy food will never outweigh the days I will spend regretting eating it.
