I started off the day with a very
brisk dog walk and a healthy bowl of steel-cut oatmeal with agave nectar and 2%
milk. Then I did a 1 ½ hour vinyasa yoga class at the YMCA. This wonderful
instructor taught it and had some great insights about losing weight. Oh, wait, that was me! Lol
After which, I met two friends
for lunch and I may have stepped into some doo doo. I was very hungry and
ordered 2 poached eggs. The breakfast came with fruit or potato cakes, and a
bagel or toast. I chose the potato cakes, and definitely should have chosen the
fruit. Then the eggs came undercooked, so I had to send them back. So, what was
in front of me was the bagel, cream cheese, and potato cakes. My goal was to
eat ½ bagel and the eggs. But I ate the ½ bagel because I was hungry with the
potato cakes and ended up eating the other half when my correct order of eggs
came. Now I’m overly full and probably will not lose a pound if I don’t under
eat for the rest of the day.
I know bodies. Something that
menial can cost you. But we’ll see. The yoga class may have exerted enough
energy to buffer the extra carbs, but I’m not sure. I would venture to guess,
if I go on eating a regular diet the rest of the day, I bet I won’t lose
anything today.
Later: I had a fairly bad day, as far as diets go. I over ate at
dinner. I ate about twice as much turkey as I should have, plus I ate rice and
a baked potato. I did, however, eat a small salad. I was completely bloated. On
top of it all, that caused a tremendous urge to eat something sweet—an even
bigger urge than before. I actually broke down and ate the last thing in the
house that was sweet. I ate a large piece of cheese Danish with a glass of milk
about an hour after dinner. Eating directly after dinner was one thing that I
did actually do right. If I would have eaten it closer to bedtime, that would
have been a worse choice.
This was an emotional day,
period. I ate to appease my emotions. I tried not to. But in the end, I did. I
did my best to not screw up too badly. For a snack tonight I ate ½ bag of fat
free popcorn about 8 pm. I have not done any exercise. My stomach still hurts.
I’m going to do some light yoga
before I go to bed. I’ll let you know how bad the day was tomorrow when I weigh
in.
Weigh in: loss of .2 (5.2 total)
This was a really good example
for my clients of when I tell you that a bad day doesn’t mean a horrible day. I
made my bad day an almost even day, which doesn’t subtract or add to the total
much. If I had done what was really on my heart to do, I would have gained a
couple pounds for sure. This way, it is a new day, a new chance to make change now, and I believe I’m over the
binge cliff—my version of the fiscal cliff.
