Accountability: Good eating days gone within a blink of an eye
After almost 3 weeks of eating right it came crashing down big time last night. I was a bit prepared; I knew it was lurking somewhere and it was a matter of time before it reared it’s ugly head.
Despite planning my evening meal with 2 light meals, temptation played a role in my demise. After 45 min. on the elliptical, I bought steamed fish to go with my rice. Got home and ate that as it’s a planned dinner. But between that and my last meal I ate a fried Asian dessert, just one - in the past I can eat 4 or 5 in one sitting. I forgot that today the apt. complex manager was buying the tenants pizza. So what do I do? Yep, had a slice. Then I eat my planned 2nd meal of rice and beef soup. Do I stop? NOOOOOOOO, so Rodney comes home at 9:30 and he has a lot of Chinese food - rice and BBQ pork. Of course I ate some. This is the first time I ate a meal after 8pm but the point is I fell off the wagon.
I don’t feel too bad about it because I needed a day of trying to stay on plan and what not but I didn’t want to eat that much food.
I don’t give up easily because I knew Friday was around the corner. This morning got up and went to my 5:45am kickboxing class and amped that up a bit. Then I did 25 min. of morning yoga. To offsett the fatty food from last night I’ll eat an extra serving of nonfat yogurt. I will also do some cardio and finish it off with my yoga class.
Losing weight, staying healthy, eating right and exercising is something I want to do for the rest of my life. There will be many more bad days but I always keep a positive attitude and tell myself this day too shall pass and it’ll be ok. Just never give up and never give in.
My moms recently told me again, that this is the smallest I’ll ever be and I will NOT lose anymore. I wish she would be more supportive but I refuse to believe her. I know I can lose more and will lose more and be healthier and stronger then ever. As long as I believe in me it doesn’t matter what others think.
I really love your positive attitude
I believe you will reach your goals!!! thanks for the nice comments on my blog today
Have a great weekend!! And I’ll be here to support you, and I do believe in you!!!
Your doing amazing, and even if your mom isn’t that supportive you have all of us! I always use to let one bad slip be the end of my diet but now I can see there is a positive to it. Thanks for sharing
Nancy, use her words to motivate you even more. I know it is hard hearing such things from our loved ones but sometimes they feel threatened or even jealous by our success. Successful people always have strangers around them wanting in and there loved ones are sometimes indifferent to them. I think it does change once they accept it. I didn’t hear anything until now that I am beyond my original goal I have heard you look good. Not much else! That can hurt too. Although my husband did not want me to wear a bathing suit or bikini at the BBQ on the 4th. It kind of pissed me off because they had the pool open. He said not that no adults were going in and that my son who is 4 shouldn’t either. The truth is there were a bunch of woman sitting around the pool they just looked like they were embarrassed to go in? But I did have respect for them and him so I didn’t. I do believe though if you work hard for something you shouldn’t have to cover it up because of others.
Getting back to you. You look great, everyone sees your dramatic results and your pics and knows you have done the hardest part. As long as you focus on your eating and continue your pace you are guarenteed to lose weight! It is just a matter of time and soon! So be it then! They will see! Try to let it roll off your back and take it with a grain of salt. You have come too far to let anyone else no matter who it is, discourage or put a damper on your acheivements that you should be basking in right now. You have the right attitude just do your thing girl and show them how it is done!
Yeah, sometimes those kind of days come where you eat whatever and then they go. The good thing is you still kept your work out the next day and you could have easily blown that off too. Way to go in picking yourself back up. And you know some mom’s aren’t the most supportive. It doesn’t mean they don’t love us or believe in us. It just means they don’t have the best ways of showing support. You’re grown. You know what’s best for you. Keep up the great work!
Love your attitude, you can do it. I’m sorry that your mom is not more supportive. Hang in there and I’m sure she will come around when she sees how healthy you are getting, mine did. Hugs!
Great attitude…glad youre not beating yourself up for one bad night. You have done soooo well! Im sure you will lose more and I know you wont quit
