Glutteny is pure bliss

I failed guys, completely and utterly failed last night.  I gave into the food monster.  I had every intention of sticking to my food plan but I didn’t.  The moment I walked through the door I went straight for the pantry and started munching on crap, first it was the crispy no good for me noodles you put in a salad, then it’s a fudge bar but only ate half…I was still hungry but I was really trying to stay on course.  Dranking water, didn’t help….then I smell bacon.  Bacon, one of my favorites.  Guess what I do?  Made four slices for myself.  Man, as I was eating the bacon with rice, I was in food heaven.  I was enjoying every piece but with every piece I tell mself no more..yeah right.  I ate it all.  To top it off, I eat some chicken breast with rice at 8.  But I knew I was still hungry and all I needed it someone to offer me food.  Sure enough, midnight comes around and my honey has fast food.  I of course ate someo f the fries and a bite off his burger.  I don’t know why I ate it; all I know is the urge to eat was stronger then my will power.

This morning I scheduled in my morning workout and set my alarm.  At 5am, when it went off I did not want to get out of bed.  The thought of snuggling in bed with my BF was so tempting.  But I did it.  I forced myself out of bed and drove to the gym half asleep.  Got my 1 hr of power sculpt this morning. 

 Today I feel a lot better.  I decided to opt out my usual morning cereal for 2 eggs with whole wheat toast.  I am holding up well.  No crazy cravings yet.  I have an hour to go before lunch and I’m doing ok.  During days in which I crave protein, no amount of carbs, no matter how complex or good for me will do.  I realize that that was my mistake yesterday.  I was trying to stick to my usual food and not play into my body’s request.

Today is a high protein day.  I hope I don’t overdo it with the food.  I have two classes, kickboxing and yoga, this afternoon, which I need fuel for so I’m hoping it will offset the bad I did yesterday.   

I sometimes feel overwhelmed when it comes to this whole weightloss journey; like right now I feel like giving up.  But  I know taht I’m doing the right thing for my body, my health and my well being.  I don’t and will not sabotage myself anymore.  I just have to keep going at it and sooner or later it will pay off. 

Positive, positive thoughts. :)

    You are so strong Nancy. I have no doubt you will succeed because you know what to do when you have those slip ups. You didn’t beat yourself up too bad about it, you knew what you had to do to fix it and you moved on. It is part of life and you know how to deal with it.
